News from my OB

I called and talked to phone nurse they were waiting to hear from my doctor who was working in a different office today. That took an hour wait after my initial call, I was on pins and needles. And oh so impatient.

Final word...repeat hcg tonight, if it doubles start progesterone supplements. Keep an eye out for pain on one side and remain cautiously optimistic because they have seen crazy things happen with hcg and viable pregnancies.

Meaning Dr. H isnt overly optimistic due to slow rise, but she knows crazier things have happened where they thought for sure it was going to be a loss.

So I am in limbo. Where 15% of viable pregnancies do have abnormally rising numbers. I have started to experience nausea, but wonder how much is in my head. Urination is up and no longer experiencing cramping.

I am going to go ahead and start my lovenox, I had decided against it when hcg didnt double. But have been on aspirin.

If numbers jump up, it could mean everything is going to be fine and if that is the case then I get to be on prometrium.

Still no spotting. You would think if I had implantation bleeding it wouldnt have been in my tube, but who knows.

So my heart is left dreaming, making up possible reasons for the slow rise of hcg (like maybe twins tried implanting, and then only one took off or maybe breastfeeding affects the hcg level) and reasons my progesterone could be low (breastfeeding).

If numbers continue to slow rise I expect an u/s to check for ectopic or blighted ovum or something of the sort. If ectopic is found I will be given methro...whatever it it is called and looked up doctor recommendations, I will have to pump and dump for 48-72 hours. Those will be hell nights because we cosleep and he snacks throughout the night.

For now I will cautiously dream about this baby getting here January/february 2014 and making our family of 3 turn into a family of 4.

Definitely making me want to lose weight and actively ttc if this doesnt work out and af returns regularly.

*sigh*
