Well, first HCG levels were drawn yesterday. Came back at 39. Technically, I wasn't supposed to have a blood test till today. Yesterday I wound up giving myself an overdose of long acting insulin. I usually take 16 units in the evening and my doctor added a morning shot of 3 units. I was rushing and without thinking I dialed to 16 units and proceeded to inject myself. Once I realized what I had done, I finished my breakfast (already gave myself short acting) and rushed off to the ER. They called poison control and said I needed to stay for the day to be monitored unless I'm pregnant and then I'd have to stay overnight. They had me take a urine test first but they had the same problem I did. Looked like a line but not quite sure, but if you hold it up to the light you can see it, etc. So they ran a blood test and I couldn't believe it. I'm pregnant. My clinic decided to have me go in on Monday instead of today and see where it leads to. Praying hard that Monday will have a rising HCG level. Hoping for a 100 or more at least. Right now, I feel cramps, some nausea, boobs hurt, bloated and tired. I even took another test today when I came home and was so happy to see the second line. No squinting needed. It may be light but it's visible.

Becoming a reality....
A few days ago my nurse emailed me and said my donor was selected by a secondary recipient. I immediately became super excited. This means after my hysteroscopy next week, we can start moving forward. I guess I'll get all the details when I go down next week. I was so afraid it would take months to do this. I guess it still can. Donor needs to go through testing and pass with then we all have to be synced up. I'm hoping by March/April will be doing the transfer. I'm just guessing but a girl can dream, right?
On another note, my Endo started me on meal time insulin. It seems my after meal blood sugars are over 200 most of the time. It makes me a little sad. I'm realizing that there is no turning back the clock and just being normal ever again. I'll be forever tied to testing and measuring my food and taking insulin for the rest of my life. And honestly, it's just so exhausting all the time. Trying to figure out my carbs for each meal so I can give myself the right dose of insulin. But it's a life change I have to do. Especially if I'm going to have a baby this year.
