For those of you not familiar with the relationship of a fertility-specialist-and-a newly-pregnant-woman-who-has-gotten-pregnant-without-their help: the fertility docs don't give up. Now that Ted and I have made this bean the old fashioned way (soo much nicer and more romantic than the things we'd been through at RMG I am sure Ted would agree), RMG has stepped in to confirm, re-confirm, re-re-confirm and finally re-re-re-confirm that I am indeed pregnant. I think they don't believe that we did it without them.
So they start a battery of blood (aka Beta) Pregnancy tests. Most women might have one. I have had four. They are looking for the "pregnancy hormone" HCG. And then once it's detected and your pregnant, they expect it to double every 48 hours.
So here's my track:
Friday, Aug 14: 20
Monday, Aug 17: 169
Wednesday, Aug 19: 422
Friday, Aug 21: 1348
And upon hearing Friday's number I had to ask, "It's just one, right?"
Nurse: "We can't know until your ultrasound on the 8th"
When it rained, it might have poured. To be continued on the 8th at 2:15 p.m.....
