I forgot to post yesterday with the update on my hCG results. I called around 4:30, because I hadn't heard anything.... Did you know? No one works in the OB department at the clinic in West Bend after 4 pm? Stupid..... So I got transferred over to the family practice department, and I was able to weasel out the number from a nurse over there.
Silly me, I didn't pay enough attention to the exact number, because I was just so excited to hear - but I know it was over 1800! Which means another more than double result!
Have to call my doc on Monday, and see what comes next.
Tomorrow, May 6, is International Bereaved Mother's Day. A day to honor women (and families) who have lost babies to miscarriage, still birth, death, and infertility as well. I have been so lucky to have met some amazing women who are suffering the loss of their own child or children. We cry together, share together, grieve together. Without their support, I don't think I could handle any of the emotions I've been dealing with.
(well, that's not true. I have some amazing friends and family as well who have been rocks for me. they have been so caring and supportive.)
So tomorrow will be a day of tears and sadness. Much like every day, but with a spot light on this day around the world. If you believe, say a prayer for anyone you know who has lost a child, or the promise of a child. If you don't pray, make sure your friends know that you support them and you're there for them. Remember their child, don't shy away from talking about that child. What we want most is to know that we aren't the only ones who remember and love our child.
Our child may never be in our arms again, but they will never leave our hearts.
Ok, I'm going to go cry a bit now. More updates on Monday.
