Got some lab results back today…
On the upside, the hCG level was 5262.8, so clearly things are progressing better than last time. On the downside, my progesterone level is apparently a little low, so the doctor is prescribing a supplement, and has asked me to come in for an ultrasound. I’ll be taking a medicine called Prometrium, and go in for the ultrasound next week.
As (sort of) expected, a not-entirely-satisfying result today. I had hoped it would just be a thumbs-up and that would be that, but no such luck. However, I have heard from at least one person who took Prometrium during her first trimester for the same reason and had no problems, so that’s comforting. Now I just get to wait 10 DAYS for the darn ultrasound. But hopefully it will show good things and that will ease my mind a little bit.
Is it just me, or is this an awful lot of drama for a pregnancy that’s only a few weeks old? Alas…
Hi, I clicked through from the May 2007 board and though I’d say hi. I’m not “out” on my blog yet (as it is, after all, a knitting blog) but I’m getting there!
