It was positive! 30.2 MIU/ML to be exact. Normal range is 9 - 130. Under 2 would be negative. I am so thrilled! And to think, we almost gave up on this cycle!
My result was a little on the low side, though, so I am sure they will repeat in a couple of days. With Hadley, I was at 51, and they retested four days later and it was 380. The level should double every about every two days.
It is still very, very early, but to me, a positive is a positive. That's the attitude I had with Hadley, and that's how I feel today. I'm aware of the realities, but focusing on only good thoughts!
The doctor's office will call me this afternoon to tell me what to do next. I'll post again after that.
**************UPDATE**************
I was right, they want me to repeat the test on Thursday. The nurse didn't say anything about it being low, though, she just congratulated me. That was nice because with Hadley, the nurse who called was very negative when she told me. Like I wasn't supposed to be excited about a positive test...whatever!
No offense to anyone who reads the news here first. I am not calling anyone until the second test result shows a healthy pregnancy. I figure anyone devoted to reading this should know today, but I'm really not ready to spread the word yet.
