HCG levels are a risin' :) and more stuff about our situation

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone

Thanks SO MUCH to everyone who has written and for all of your

emotional support. Ya'll are awesome! I went in for my hcg levels

today and they have doubled from 48 hours ago.....which is what they

are supposed to do.....so of course no hysterectomy for me tomorrow,

which has been scheduled for months.....I am still in shock from this

but excited and cautiously optimistic (which is the term the nurse

used when calling me today with the hcg level news)....my doc's

office staff are so excited for me. They know how long we had tried

to have a baby......so.....the only thing we are concerned with now

is finances.....and my hubby's health.....Here's a brief overview.

Hubby and I have been married 14 years. We have a 13 year old son. I

have been attending college part time off and on for 20 years....I am

down to my final 2 semesters......I have just 4 courses left to

graduate.....which I plan to do in May 2005.....so I have fall and

spring left.....this baby is prob due in March......and I will

graduate 2 months later.....OK.....hubby has a kidney disease he was

born with called Alports Syndrome. He is expected to start dialysis

next year. He is only 38. Then he will go on a transplant list and

wait for a kidney donor and have a transplant......needless to

say....we are worried about our financial situation and both of our

health.....so.....please keep us in your prayers.....

Happy to be here and grateful to God for our miracle.....

Love

Terri

Hey Terri!

I am so happy that your levels have doubled! That's great! Did they

check your progesterone at all to see if you needed any support with

that? I had to have it - that's why I asked..

And I KNOW you can graduate! I am in that situation too.. if I want

to get into nursing school next year, then I have to take classes

this fall - and I am due in November, but that's okay.. I figure I

will just stay 2 weeks ahead of the class and be alrighty! I am so

sorry about your husbands illness.. hopefully, the dialysis will

work beautifully for him and maybe that perfect donor will be out

there for him! I will certainly continue to keep you in my thoughts

and prayers..
