Have you had your blood work yet?

Jana

I was just rereading her post to see if there was an update. Hope to hear from her soon and that all is well.

You guys are wonderful! Thank you so much for thinking of me.
I had my blood drawn for my second beta at 8:45am this morning. I just called the doctor's office at 3pm to check and see if the results were back yet and was told they were not.
My pharmacy called early this morning to let me know they had filled my progesterone supplement. (my doctor prescribed progesterone suppositories but the pharmacy couldn't fill them until today.) So I need to know if the pregnancy is still viable before I start the progesterone! I am seriously anxious and its taking forever!!! AHhhhhhh!!!!!

I finally got a call from the doctor's office at 4:30pm today. My beta doubled! It is still low... was 10.3 and is now 22.1 in 72 hours. I am of course very nervous and worried that it took the full 72 hours to double. I was really hoping to see a higher number, but am very thankful and glad that it did double. I go back on Wed. morning for a third beta.
I start my progesterone tonight and just pray its not too late!!!

Thats great news!  I have not heard of a progesterone supp before. What does it do?
 I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

My progesterone levels are on the very low end of normal, so the supplementation should help keep my levels in the more normal range. Sometimes women can miscarry due to progesterone levels being too low to suppor the pregnancy.
My biggest worry though is my low HCG levels! I go back in for another beta tomorrow morning. Hoping and praying its at least doubled!

Keep us updated! You know we are thinking of you and your little one.

Thinking of you!
