Hi all, I just got home from the doctor my appointment was a 2 but I did not get in until about 3:30pm. So he said good news I am pregnant, bad news the hcg level is a little low for 6 weeks but the ovulation could be off and I could just be a week behind. He told me they were going to draw another hcg quant today and the results would be back by 12 tomorrow. He basically told us to expect the best but prepare for the worst. He said unless hcg levels are around 2000 a sono is pointless because it will not show anything and if I have it done and it does not show anything then I would have to be scanned every 48 hours to rule out etopic pregnancy and he said he does not want to do that to me. He is hoping the next level will be at least 1700 and then we would do a sono sometime later and he said he is not acknowledging my pregnancy until he sees the sac in the uterus and he said I should do the same. It is really hard even though we were not planning I am very upset and nervous. My husband says to not worry because whatever is going to happen will and to stop jumping to conclusions until we get the results tomorrow. He thinks things will be fine. I am going to light my St. Jude candle tonight and pray. Hope everyone else is doing well. TTYL

Hi girls,

What a crazy nervous morning. My husband started calling the doctors office early this morning and he said one of the nurses told him she just took the results off the fax and brought them into the doctor's office but it was super busy. When my husband told me this I felt that it was bad news because if it was good I thought she would tell him the number. When I mentioned this to him he called back and she said she did not look at the result and does not even know how to read it and the doctor should call in half an hour. Well time kept passing and it was over two hours and nothing. Then I started to think if it was really bad they would have called me because I could have a tubal and they would have to do something. So then I started telling myself no news is good news. Well the nurse just called and said the Dr. wants me to have a sono but no rush it can be in a week or two, I asked her what my levels were and she said they went up to 2624 or 2625, one or the other but that was really good as they more than trippled. They say you cannot see anything on a sono until your hcg is at least 2000 so my husband and I want to go today so he is calling and trying to set something up. I thank you all for your prayers and good thoughts, I thank God that the levels went up this much and the nurse said though the longer we wait the more we will see and that maybe we won't see the hb today and that is fine but it may make me nervous. I don't know I kind of just want to see any thing in my uterus but I will see if my husband is able to schedual the sono. I am relieved, one step at a time. I hope you all are well and I will update you but Ethan is a wild man now. TTYL
