Didi's Pregnancy Update

[Leinweber]

Hi everyone!
I'm the one whose recently posted about insurance, tests and such. Just
wanted to give an update because i'm TOO excited... I went to the dr. this
morning and gave blood for all those lab tests...

All the numbers seem to be PERFECT right now!!! I'm actually (healthily)
PREGNANT! I couldn't be more relieved (unless of course it was week 13
instead of week 5).. (I had a chemical pregnancy in Jan of 2003 and a
miscarriage at 11.5 weeks 4 months ago - I can't believe we actually got
pregnant the first official month of TTC again)

HCG: 421
Progesterone: 24.6
TSH (thyroid): 1.something...

I will go back thursday and she said the HCG should be above 800 at that
time, so let's hope.... Then I can calm down a bit. (I've never had a
successful pregnancy yet). I'm trying not to get excited, of course
anything can happen (again) but I just keep thinking, "I'm 20 pounds
lighter, i'm eating WAY better, i'm WAY more healthy, etc. etc." Hopefully
that all makes all the difference in the world!

Thank you so much. I will continue to pray and hope and wish and cross
fingers for everyone else as long as you do for me in return!!!! LOL...
Hopeing to chat more often in the future.

EDD: December 29, 2004

Congrats Didi :-) In my experience, HCG levels don't always double every 2-3
days at certain stages early on in a healthy pg, but as long as there is a
considerable rise, not a drop, your healthcare provider is usually happy,
mine was.
I hope it all goes well this time - I can keep everything crossed for you
for the next 8.5 weeks, LOL.
Could be a New Years' baby!
