Slow and Steady?

I'm trying to stay positive. 

I got through Tuesday and this morning with such high hopes for a GREAT phone call.

My beta didn't rise as expected. It was 152 today.

The nurse can kiss my ass though. She seems to have already given up hope. I could tell by the tone of her voice.

She started out by saying "Listen". I knew right there it wasn't good news.

Then "Your beta didn't double, it's only at 152. I want you to remain optimistic but you have to stay guarded".

"You WILL have to follow up on this."

That's the one that killed me. Did SHE think I had given up? 

Needless to say I was VERY upset. I left work. I just took a GREAT nap and was woken up by my friend. She pointed out the obvious about the nurse being "desensitized".

She told me that I need to stay hopeful. That there are plenty of stories out there that have a happy ending. She told me that she is still pulling for me and that I still need to pull for me. 

I'm going to pull for me.

I hope we can show this nurse up with a stronger beta on Friday. 

I said it before and I'll say (type?) it again (this time in CAPS because someone obviously didn't see it) --- IT'S OUR TURN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please let Friday bring happier news. PLEASE.
