So im in a very good place today. I have known I was pregnant since Jan 15 ,and everyday has been an emotional roller coaster. Ive had cramping,spotting, glucola tests,and my first u/s measured the baby over a week less than what i thought. I've worried myself sick and probably annoyed the heck out of the triage nurses but hey, its my body and baby and just want to make sure everything is ok. I went to the doctor Jan 19 and did a ton of bloodwork,exams,etc . According to lmp my duedate was sept 16. I went back tuesday the 22 and had my first ultrasound. I should have been 6weeks 1day but the baby measured 4wks 5days. The doctor said that it was a normal thing since i conceived using clomid to help me ovulate due to pcos. I was scheduled a follow up u/s for 2wks later but of course was terrified . She said not to worry too much , my hcg level was like 675 and so i probably was less pregnant than expected and they would have it tested to see if it increased. She also said that I failed my first glucola test and had to move on to the 3hr test ,ugh!. Fast forward to friday Jan 26 . I went in an took the hcg test and the 3hr glucola test . I was so nervous because i read online how people threw up and passed out, yikes. So anyway the hubby made me go ans said dont expect to be like everyone else. The test was not fun, 4 blood draws and 4 episodes of bridezillas later i was out labcorp with no nausea or dizziness or fainting, Thank GOD! Over this past weekend I had more spotting which of course led to more panic and calls to triage,plus I have asthma and a cold so no fun going on over here . The triage nurse said dont worry unless you are filling up a pantyliner in an hour or passing clots and to call the doctor in the morning. So today Jan 29 I scheduled an appointment. The girl was like yea I see you have an appt in 2weeks to check viability. That word scared the crap outta me , I mean were they questioning it before . I went to the doctor and after hearing of the bleeding she scheduled a same day u/s . So I saw my lil peanut today,he measured at 6weeks exactly and I saw and heard his heartbeat. Such a flood of joy and relief came over me. My duedate was officially pushed back a week. My hcg level went from 674 on Jan 18th to 7700 on the 25th. The glucola test had interesting results. My fasting blood sugar was great, it spiked very high after taking the glucola which tastes like the concentrate in punch before you add the water by the way , and the went way back down by the 3rd hour. To be safe she wants to treat it like diabetes. I have to diet and take my blood when I wake and an hour after I eat. All in all , im just thankful for a healthy baby and praying everything goes smoothly from here on out.
