UPDATE in OP beta draw - T&Ps appreciated

CreechMommy · October 2014

So I have my first blood test Tuesday and I'm trying to stay calm. Originally my OB wasn't going to see me until 8 weeks, but I asked if I could come in for blood work b/c of my history. (I changed OBs since last time because my last OB was awful)

They agreed to have me come in for a beta test and she said after they get the results she will let me know if I need to come back for any more draws.

I'm trying to stay positive and take deep breaths, but it's hard.

I've been having slight cramping which I know is normal and it's been super mild so I'm ok with that, but it can still be kinda scary.

I'm one of the crazy ones that hopes and prays for symptoms just so I know that good things are happening. I'm sure everyone here has dealt with those scary moments.

I would appreciate T&Ps and I will update once I get results!!

UPDATE: Nurse said my hcg was 217 - not sure what is normal for 4 weeks, but she said it's a good starting number. She said to come back in on Thursday to repeat the test and that would give us a better idea of how things are going and make sure the numbers are going up.

Thanks ladies!! @kate6214 where did you find your may flowers pgal badge? Is there a thread with them? I've been looking but can't seem to find it

It's on the May 2015 Blog https://may2015babies.wordpress.com/

Editing because I just realized you were due in July. I think each month comes up with their own. I'm not sure if your month board would have started a PGAL thread yet. That would be another place to find one.

Awesome thank you!

@CreechMommy‌ FX and lots of T&Ps being sent your way. I hope you have great beta results and you start having more symptoms.

For the pgal badge- it is definitely created and decided my your bmb pgal group. June15 is still waiting to vote on ours so the most members can vote on it. I'm sure July hasn't reached that point yet.

((( HUGS))) just because.

FX for beautiful numbers on Tuesday! It's so hard to try to be patient during these early weeks.

T&Ps! Btw I actually said to my DH that I want to start barfing just so I know it's okay. Seriously. It's a sickness.

Sending t&ps for great betas! Waiting is awful, I hope that time passes quickly for you!

Sending positive vibes!!!! I hope they do at least two sets of betas because one set isn't going to tell you much. I'm sure you know they look for the rising/doubling. Best of luck and keep us posted!!!

@beckynsean11 The first weeks are the worst!! Now I'm wishing I had waited longer to test haha

@kreardon11 It really is bad. The only people I've told is MH (obviously) and my best friend (who has 5 kids) She said she was praying for no morning sickness. I said I'm praying for it! haha I would love to puke! (I say this now!) For now I will take those little tugs and stretches in my UTE as a good sign

@LuvLoveXo I hope they do too - she told me once the results are in they would tell me if I needed to come back in. We'll see - I'm not afraid to push for a second draw. I'm sure I'm not the only PGAL mom they have gotten in there before. They need to know we need more reassurance than the average person!
