On Friday October 28th we found out that we are once again pregnant. I called my OB and he said that he wanted me to head straight to the lab and get my HCG and Progesterone level drawn. They called me later that day and confirmed that I am indeed pregnant but my HCG level was only a 8 and my Progesterone level was 22 so they felt that was high enough to sustain the pregnancy and Dr. England would like to repeat the HCG in 2 days to see if it doubles. I checked it October 30th and it was at a 28. Dr. England was comfortable with that and would like me to do another level November 1st. That one came back at 31, a normal pregnancy would at least double. Dr. England was concerned and sent me for an Ultrasound. The results were that I have a small cyst on my right ovary and that they could not see the sac in my tube or in my uterus. My doctor requested that I recheck my levels today November 3rd. They came back at an 8. :( Most likely a miscarriage but still have to watch for symptoms of an ectopic. Repeat HCG next week to make sure it goes back to 0.
Brandon and I hate playing this numbers game. However since I only have the one tube I want to do everything that I can to make sure that I do not have another ectopic and loose my other tube.
I am so FRUSTRATED!! This is the 3rd pregnancy this year! We want to add to our little family and every time I get pregnant I get that little bit of hope and then that hope is dashed.
We have decided that it is time to see a specialist. The Dr. that I have heard is really good is booked out until December 29th. We are not sure if we want to wait that long so we may have to see someone else!
Seriously this year needs to be over!!!!!!
