Good Afternoon Humble Readers...
Okay... everyone take a deep breath in. Out.
All is well, I just have a really dopey GP. Apparently, he misread the information my OB sent over about the prometrium he prescribed. DocB thought I didn't have the meds yet. Oy!
Then he started going on about how my beta numbers were 'rather low'. I interupted him, and said that for 18dpo (thank you Elana for pointing out my miscalculation) 269 was right in the normal range, he clarified... low as in comparison to where they will be in two weeks. Argh! You don't tell a woman who has been at this as long as I have, and has been through two early miscarraiges that the numbers are low when they really aren't! Double oy!
The one good thing that came out of the appointment... I have paperwork for weekly bloodwork between now and my ultrasound (April 20). I did have to get a little emotional, and practically beg for the bloodwork, but I got it, and went for another draw this afternoon. I'll get the results on Thursday morning.
I'm feeling much more relaxed, and I so greatly appreciate all your support. You guys are such a huge help...
While I might not be a hobbit genetically, I do believe that I am one culturally. A homebody at heart, with a fear of (but slight craving for) adventure, who values simple things like good food, good books, and good friends. Chronicling the journey of the unlikely pairing of a Hobbit and an Ent, who have travelled down the road through infertility & RPL, toward building our family. We've come a long way, and now with two precious wee-lings in tow, our road goes ever on and on...
At least he was on top of it when he thought you didn't have meds yet.
