Doc called this morning. Labs came out excellent! hCG = 5000 (I think the highest we ever got before was 810). Normal hCG for 5 weeks is 18 - 7,340. Even though anywhere in the range is "normal," I feel like I aced this one!
As far as progesterone, well, not only was it normal, but -- in true over-achiever fashion -- it was high! Doc looks for 20; we "scored" 33. Woo-freaking-hoo! Remember those feel-like-you-peed-your-pants-all-day suppositories they made me use after the IUIs? Yep...I get to skip them this go-round!
I'm feeling extra encouraged today. Still no major symptoms aside from my engorged and sensitive boobies, but at least things are looking up. Though, wouldn't mind a little morning barf session just to seal the deal.
Tomorrow's agenda: Ultrasound. With any luck (and I mean luck...doc says we really shouldn't be able to see anything this early), we'll have a fetal pole. Would love a little heartbeat too, but don't want to put too much pressure on Baby L just yet.
