So I went for my first OB check yesterday. You know, nothing special or anything but I had a bunch of blood work done per usual for the first check and when I looked at the results online last night I noticed my OB included ANOTHER hcg draw with all of the other tests.
My level was 40,800. It should have been 58,000 if we were following the 48 hour rule, but I know that's not the case when your levels get that high. I just had to laugh. I can't believe that crazy man snuck another beta into the mix.
Ultrasound tomorrow afternoon! Praying for a heartbeat ... and now I think I'm going to go dry heave. LOVE IT (seriously, I do).
