November has been a wonderful month so far. The weather has been amazing for this time of year. It's been in the 60's all week, which for western PA is unheard of in November. I just wish Daylight Savings had held off a week or two so when I get home from work it was actually still light out and I could enjoy the nice weather. Oh well.
Other things have been nice, too. It's been two whole weeks since my BFP and I'm still pg! Today I'm 5w4d. This is the point in my first pg that I MC'ed. It's been kind of a personal milestone for me today that everything is still doing well. My third beta check from Thursday came back at 1254. Another great number! I had my fourth and final check on Monday which came back at 6320. Woo hoo! So here's the list for anyone who's been keeping track (like me!):
Oct 28 (12 dpo) - 82.8
Oct 31 (15dpo) - 383
Nov 3 (18dpo) - 1254
Nov 7 (22dpo) - 6320
Those are some great looking numbers, if I do say so myself! My last beta was high enough that my OB nurse scheduled me for an early ultrasound today. KJ and I got to see the sac, but no fetal pole or heartbeat yet. Since I'm still so early, we were expecting that. The u/s tech said that the sac was measuring right on track, though, which was great. At least we know that it's in there and, so far, it's doing what it should be doing. I have another appointment with my OB nurse on Tuesday (11/15), but I'm not sure if I'll get to have another u/s or not. I hope so. A lot of the PgAL ladies said that when they went in a 6w they didn't see a HB yet, but when they went back a few days later, it was there. I'm not too concerned about it. I'm choosing to have faith.
Also, today I had my app with the infectious diseases doctor. She literately told me, "I don't know why you're here!" She said that 9 times out of 10 when chicken pox comes up positive like that it just means that at some point recently I was exposed to the virus. Also, because I'm pg now, she doesn't even deal with prenatal care so she has no idea how to even treat me if I did have it. She said she was going to consult with Magee Woman's Hospital down in Pittsburgh and see what they had to say about it. All in all, it was a pretty pointless appointment! It literately took longer to take my BP and temp than the whole consolation with the doctor took. A whole morning off work wasted.... Oh well, at least we're 90% sure it's nothing.
"Good day Sunshine!"
Lots of Love,
