Worry wart?

This day is going to drag...I have my second blood draw today to check my hcg levels. I have had no problems, no spotting, no nothing. I think my doc is just surprised we found out about the pregnancy so early. I tried to tell them but no one would listen because of my irregular cycles...so naturally I am just freaked out right now! We had our first u/s about a week ago and all we were able to see right now was the sac (which I'm thinking is normal- right??). Should I call the office today to find out the numbers from my first draw they did on Tuesday? Or will that not tell me much? This is why I wanted to keep our news a secret for a bit, but DH just keeps telling everyone!

    I was stressed about my second levels too. Everything will be fine.  I am actually going in for a third blood draw this morning, so I'm stressing right there with you.  My fist levels were only 86 so I found out soooo early, my second levels were 250 though, so that was good news.  I can't figure out why they need a third blood draw, but I'll take it as extra info.

    I worry all the time! I have a Dr. apt. today and I'm getting the results of my first HCG levels, I've had an ultrasound and we heard the heart beat! It was amazing. Today we should hear the heart beat via Doppler, but every time I go to the Dr. I get really nervous that something will go wrong.

    Same boat - I'm getting the results of my second blood draw today for HGC and Progesterone since they were both 'low' - but I think b/c I'm only about 2-3 weeks along...my periods are irregular so we're taking a best guess approach to the date :)

    I would just call if I were you - that way you're not waiting around for the results all day.

     Good luck!!!

    I got 4 blood draws, I'm not sure why, but everything is great.  I think they just like to see it going up.  I'm sure everything's fine!
