Hey Humble Readers...
I'm in need of some reassurance, so this is your invitation to blow smoke and just try to make me feel better, ok?
I got my beta numbers back this afternoon. They aren't what I would like, and of course the ever sensitive Dr. B didn't really help matters with all his "well, they're pretty low" repeating like a broken record (he must have said it 5 times in my 10 minute appointment).
HCG Beta @ 14 DPO: 34
HCG Beta @ 21 DPO: 442
Doubling every 45.5 hours
They aren't bad, but they aren't really strong either. I'm above the 'minimum' line, but not at 'average'. (I apologize, but I can't figure out how to get the graphic from http://www.babymed.com/). I'm trying really hard not to stress about it. I'm going back for more blood work next Tuesday, so we'll see what we will see I guess. *sigh*
Have I mentioned how much I hate all this worry? Damned IF!
We also talked about my blood sugars, which are terrible! I have an appointment at the diabetic clinic next week, and I'll likely be on insulin from then forward. One thing I discovered recently is that prometrium, particularly at the dosage that I'm taking, can screw with blood sugars in a pretty significant way, so we'll see how they take that into account.
My ultrasound is 13 days away. Please God let there be a heartbeat!
