Hi Gals!


I just talked to my Dr's nurse a little bit ago and they are going to have me go to a blood draw center tomorrow to have my HcG and Progesterone checked! YAY! Then I have to repeat in 48 hours, I believe is what she said. I didnt have this done with my last pg so I am glad they are doing it now. I know there are no guarantees, but at least maybe it will give me a little peace of mind to know as of now things look normal hopefully!


Also, they are going to use my hormone levels to try to get an accurate time frame of how far along I am and schedule an early u/s around 6 weeks! I am sooooooo relieved that they are going to do all this.


I called a new Dr office closer to my home and involved with the hospital right by my house and they cant get me in until 8 weeks at least. I went a head and set up an appointment with them but now I am feeling like maybe I should stick with my old Dr....What do you girls think? I want to switch because the new place is right near my home and they are associated with a new hospital really near by, but I dont know the Dr's. I guess I could get the hormones checked and do the early u/s and then decide what to do....what do you think?


Anyway, I knew you girls would understand my excitement so I had to share! Anyone have any other ideas of what to ask for as far as tests go?


HUGS and SBV's to ALL!!!

Sounds like you've got everything covered, Victoria. As for switching doctors - you can always switch again if you don't like the new one/office. My best friend switched at 36w!

Yahoo on getting your HCG and prog. checked! Keep us posted! Thinking {{high hormone}} vibes for you!
