So two of my good friends, Abbey & Kelly, insisted that even though I've had some positive blood tests, I should still pee on some 'sticks'.....so after my 3rd positive blood test....I did!!!!! And it was very exciting to see the word 'Pregnant' for once!!!!!!
Yes, today I had my 3rd pregnancy test to check all my levels...especially since last time my progesterone went down a bit. My results were as follows:
HCG=1,352 (up from 189 on Thursday...anything above 800 would have been just lovely)
Estrogen=1,180 (up from 829 on Thursday...still very good!!!)
Progesterone=35.7 (up from 27.7 on Thursday, which is very good!)
Wow, so it looks like so far this kid (or kids) is sticking! How exciting!!!
Next steps...
On Friday (yes, this Friday, 3.7.08 we have our first ultrasound!!!). I thought we'd have to wait until the following Monday, however they surprised me today with scheduling it for Friday...awesome!!! On this date, I will be 5 weeks and 6 days along....crazy!
Then the following Tuesday (3.11.08) we have our exit appt. with Dr. Jacobs our fertility doctor...ah....they're kicking us out of the fertility clinic already! Things are moving so quickly from this end...I've developed sort of a comfort zone with that place....although, trust me I am glad to leave on these excellent circumstances!
Now, however I need to find myself an OB!!!! After we had switched insurance companies, my primary care doc (who is on maternity leave right now) gave me the referral to the fertility clinic...and I bypassed the OB. Plus I want to switch hospitals to the one that is closest to our house....so much to do before next week....I don't just want to pick any random schmo to deliver my miracle baby!!!!
Today was also the first day that I felt a little queasy....had I not been pregnant, I would've thought I was getting the flu. Hey, I'll take any symptom just as long as I have a healthy and successful pregnancy!
Later! I'll be sure to post the 1st baby ultrasound on Friday!
