Frustrated...

So I go in today for my second Beta HCG. When I was there on Wednesday they told me my doctor would have the results the next afternoon, but when the doctor called for them they said it would take a week, so I didn't even get to find out if my first number was normal or not. I called today to see if they could get me in any sooner than August 7th and was told that the doctor wants to see the results of the bloodwork first. In both of my miscarriages, the baby had stopped growing by now. In the last one, I didn't miscarry until 8 weeks. I want to know- am I still pregnant, or do I just think I'm pregnant?? My first due date was August 4th, and now I get to spend it wondering whether I'm getting ready to miscarry again. This due date means a lot to me because it's 5 days off of my son's third birthday. I'm trying hard to take that as a good sign, but if I do miscarry I know I'm going to be even sadder at the loss of this special due date.

I think the lab just got backed up, but it's possible they're trying to put me off until the second numbers are in because they don't want to put too much stock in the first number alone. Likewise, I know that an ultrasound at this point may not tell us much either, because the heartbeat isn't always visible this early to begin with, and the size being a day or two off might not spell doom, either. The sane part of me can rationalize with the doctor's thinking, but the part of me that's had two losses is just looking for a ray of hope in whatever form I can find it.

((hugs)) I would be very frustrated with the bloodwork results. Keep calling and demanding there is no reason those should take a week to get back.


About your appt. I am sorry maybe if you call and insist they will schedule it for earlier.

Oh doctors office can be so frustrating because they forget that this is very special to you, but to them it is very routine thing. I say keep calling and bugging them for information. My theory is that you are their boss!! We pay them!!!
