Blood tests

For those friends and families who know me very well, they probably all guessed I will send out the email right away to tell EVERYONE. Not this time, I am very hesitate. Steven kept pushing me to send out the email, but I was afraid. He did make a good point thou, I had endometriosis too when I was pregnant with Cassandra. I wasn't this nervous then because lack of the knowledge. Oh well, with all the miscarriage stories that happend around me and that I heard, I couldn't help to get nervous about it.

On Monday, 1/7, I started calling my OB/GYN, Dr. David Hanes and made my first appointment on 1/29. 1/29!! That's more than 3 weeks away! I called my infertility doctor and the nurse told me they will do three blood tests monitoring first and have an ultrasound after that before Dr. Schillings release my record to my OB/GYN. I felt that way is better. At least with all these blood tests, it can keep my sanity for the next few weeks.

Dr. Wang, the doctor whom I saw in Flushing called me on Monday and told me my HCG leve is 105.6 which confirmed that I am definitely pregnant.

On 1/8, after the blood test, my HCG level went up to 338.

On 1/11, HCG level is 1397.

I, now, can't wait to see my HCG level after Monday's blood test.

On the website, it said the HCG leve should double or triple after 2 to 3 days and after 3000, it should look like a normal pregnancy. I am still crossing my fingers and praying everyday.
