2nd beta
Today I had my 2nd betas drawn. I went back to the E group. (blah)
The nurse was very nice and even hit my vein on the first try. When I asked her when I would get the results back though, she said tomorrow! I was like WTF! I was told on Friday that I would get them back the same day... I had already BARELY made it through the weekend without having to be admitted to an insane isyllum. I was NOT gonna make it another night. So she talked to the head nurse and they put a rush on it.
Mom went with me (to hold Caden) so afterwards we met Uncle Matt at Penn Station for lunch, and then went to Target for some shopping to pass the time. I wanted to buy the baby a million GIRL things but mom stopped me lol.
She then dropped Caden and I back off at home. Caden went right down for a nap and I sat down with the computer to pass time. By 5 pm I still hadn't heard back from the doctor so I called in.
After being on hold for what seemed like hours, I was finally told my 2nd Beta amount!
339!!! (they doubled every 48 hours like they were suppose to be!)
Anyways, then the nurse went on with her NEGATIVENESS and told me that they still couldn't promise me anything and that they wanted to have me come back in on Wednesday for a THIRD beta! She went on pretty much about how this still might not be a good pregnancy and yada yada yada. I decided right then and there that I am switching OBGYNs. I can't take feeling like I'm expected to miscarry at any moment. It's wearing me and my nerves out. I found a new OBGYN that sounds like something I would like, more half traditional doctor-half midwife. She works with you on what you want! So I have an appointment with her on March 3rd. I will assume everything is going great unless symptoms show me otherwise. I've had a healthy pregnancy so there is no reason to worry so far :)
(Also a girl on JM said that the doctor that I have been seeing sounds like a high-risk doc, used to expecting the worst out of the situation. More clinical and straight to the point... not caring and warm like my last obgyn. So I went to her site and everything clicked into place. Her specialty IS high-risk... but I am no a high-risk patient soooo I am out of there!)

!st OB Appointment
We arrived at the first appointment at 2:00pm. A half hour early, in order to fill out paperwork. We didn't even get called in until 3 pm. (a LONG wait when you have a 1 year old in tow!) It was terrible.
The first stop after getting called in, was the bathroom... to pee in a cup to test for pregnancy and a UTI (I had thought I had one so I added that in.) After waiting a few moments, the nurse walked out and said, " You have a UTI and your not pregnant." I was like WTF?!?! I have told everyone... I've taken like 3 tests that all have lines! and the digital! They can't all be wrong!
She took me into a room to get my weight and bloodpressure... putting the forms with my pregnancy test on it down. And low and behold what is on the test?!?! A SECOND LINE! I mentioned it to her and she freaked out! She felt terrible that she hadn't waited the full time to see if a line had presented itself! I was sort of mad but more relieved that I was really indeed pregnant!
We do all of the questions and whatnot, and then meet the doctor. First of all, she old. and when I say old, I mean REALLY OLD. Like 70. Her hands are all knotted and arthretic... how is she suppose to check me? Anyways, she was pretty nice and agreed that my test had become rather dark while it sat there. So as shes about to leave, the nurse brings up Mike whatever with the dog fighting... and they start cussing... IN FRONT OF CADEN! I mean I'm not super upset at the cussing, because I can't say that I havent. But how unprofessional?!?!
Anyways, Since I didn't know the exact date of my last period she ordered an ultrasound to date the pregnancy. Only when I got in there, they couldn't really see anything... meaning I was probably to early. She thought she MIGHT see a sac but couldn't even get the machine to measure it. (She also showed me were I had a cyst on my ovary and where one had popped!?!?! Had no clue about them!)
So they decided to draw my betas. Had the blood drawn and went home.
The next morning, the office called me with my first beta of 61. The nurse made it sound terrible. And asked me to come back in Monday for another blood draw. She said that I was either REALLY early in my pregnancy or the numbers are on their way down and I'm miscarrying. So I was extremely upset of course.
But the more I think about it, I think that I'm just REALLY early in my pregnancy. Thinking about it, I just got the positive. Wouldn't I have gotten a positive earlier than this if my numbers had already grown and were coming down but still at 61? Also, when I was talking to my darling JM girls they talked about taking a test one day and then two days later taking another to see if they're getting darker (meaning my numbers are still increasing).
Well I took one yesterday, and then impatiently took another today and it was ALREADY darker! So I'm feeling TONS better. I'm hoping that on Monday my numbers are GREAT!

(my two tests...)
The Beginning
On February 7th, 2010 I got a positive
on a First Response Gold Digital Test.
on a First Response Gold Digital Test.
It was only our first month of REALLY trying, yet I knew that I would be devastated if I didn't see a positive. I ordered 10 internet cheapie tests, and began taking them the day after they arrived. At that time I thought I was 7 dpo... but now I think I might have just been ovulating or getting ready to... (I'll explain that later). I kept getting negatives, but I figured it was because it was to early to test.
On Saturday, Feb 6th, Zac and I were suppose to go out for my friends birthday so I bought a cheap Walmart Equate test to take before we left. I swore I saw something, but Zac said I was crazy. We went out, and ended up leaving to hang out with his friends. I was talking to one of the girls that lived in the house and she had an extra FRER. So I tried that one. Both her and I swore we saw a line, but when we pulled another friend in, she couldn't see anything. It was only when I drew on the actual test showing where the line was, did she see anything. But I was convinced, so on our way home, I stopped to get the First Response Gold Digi test!
The next morning, I took the test... waited the few minutes... and up popped Yes+.
I was so excited! Right away I told Zac, who pretty much slept through it, and then told all of my JM girls. :wub:
Later that night I also told my parents who were decently excited...
(no jumping up and down but nothing negative)
The next day I called and made my first OBGYN appointment with Dr.E. for Thursday, February 11th.
