Blood Draw Results

I'm going to celebrate today because my beta level came back at 12. Last summer it took until the end of October to get that low, and I miscarried/had my d&c in July (I had retained tissue remember).

My hematocrit is low but I can treat it with continued iron supplementation and eating iron rich foods. My acupuncturist also has me on a blood building herb formula.

We're still going to take a break until August so I can build up my reserves.

It's still hard though, I thouhgt I was doing well and then I went into Borders at lunch and passed by the wall of pregnancy books and it just made it a little harder to breathe. I remembered standing there a few weeks ago and hoping in my heart that I would have reason to need some of them. Maybe next time.
