Big money, No whammies

So, I just heard back from my OB (yet again, called at 9:30, didn’t hear back until 1:30… I hate that!). My hCG from last night was 24,000, and my progesterone is up to a comfortable 19.1.

Now, for those keeping track, my hCG last Wednesday afternoon was about 2,000. It’s theoretically supposed to double every 48 hours, though I think that slows down to every 72 hours after it hits about 10,000 or so. If that’s the case, here’s what we’d theoretically look for:
12/27/06 – 2,000
12/29/06 – 4,000
12/31/06 – 8,000
1/2/07 – at most 16,000

Umm… This is lending a little credibility to the whole “multiples” theory put forth by the crazy ultrasound lady. Is there any wonder I kind of feel like bursting out laughing?

Again, I’m trying not to get TOO excited, just because it’s so hard to be let down. But I’m kind of shaking right now and have serious butterflies. And I keep wanting to laugh.

And it’s killing me to not call my mom or IM my friends with this news! You have to understand that I’m generally the kind of person who talks about everything with people. If something of even a little interest happens in my world, I call three people to talk about it. Don’t get me wrong, my beloved hubby is a good listener and I love talking to him, and he’s quite tolerant of talking about the same thing over and over. But still, it’s hard not to call my girls.

Well, anyways. You just never know. A whole week to wait until the ultrasound, which will hopefully be a little more definitive than last time. Though perhaps crazy ultrasound lady was on to something…
