Hey girls! Just another quick update to keep ya'll informed. We still don't have our internet at home! I'm getting so frustrated about that!
They were supposed to come hook it up on Monday, between 11 and 2PM. By 2 o'clock, they weren't there and I had to go to work. Now get this. They called at 2:15, wondering where I was! Arrrgghh! We have to call and set-up another appointment, which probably won't be for another week or so! Grrr!
Here's the baby
update....you guys probably remember that I had another ultrasound last Wednesday, where we saw the baby's heart beating. I didn't mention this in my last post because I didn't want everyone to freak out, but the heartbeat was only 98 bpm at 6w2d.
But the tech reassured me that it wasn't "bad" and that she's seen plenty of healthy pregnancies where the heartbeat started out kinda slow and picked up a little later. She also said, "You gotta remember that this little heart just barely starting beating like a day or two ago!" So needless to say, I was trying to stay optimistic, but was still kinda concerned.
So the next day, I get a phone call from the nurse telling me that after switching me from progesterone suppositories to progesterone cream, my levels dropped to 6.5! Which was not good. I was devastated and could only think the worse was going to happen. So they increased the progesterone cream and started me on oral progesterone too. I had to suffer through Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, worried sick....as I waited to get my blood drawn on Monday to recheck my progesterone levels and beta #s.
Yesterday (Tuesday), the bloodwork results were in. My progesterone went up to 9.9!
Not perfect, but it had gone up! They think the oral progesterone is working for me! And, they gave me another ultrasound....which showed a strong heartbeat of 128 bpm and the baby had grown like it was supposed to!
My little bean was measuring right at 7w1d. Despite the progesterone drop, the baby kept on growing!
I'm so proud.
It's amazing how much my little bean had grown in less than a week!
My beta's were at 45,000......and my midwife was very excited about that.
So we're trucking on. They're trying to figure out a progesterone concoction that will work for me and keep those levels up....so I'm going back to using the progesterone suppositories in addition to the oral progesterone. Wish me luck and help me pray for increasing progesterone levels!
I get my blood redrawn on Monday and will be getting the results back and having another ultrasound on Tuesday of next week. I will try to update as soon as I can!
Awwww, I so cannot wait until we get our internet back! I have missed you all so very much and feel horrible when I can't check on what's going on!
