Jania's Journal

I received the blood work results on the beta which was 1732, great.  But the progesterone level was 9.9, the level for a pregnant person is over 10.

On Tuesday I had more blood work to check the levels again, the beta was 7335, great again and the progesterone increased to 11.4.  I was told by the fertility nurse that I have to be cautiosly optimistic.  I taught that I once I become pregnant everything was going to be great.  How naive was I!!!  I also saw my regular GYN for a pap smear that was scheduled since last year, plus I wanted to see him and tell him my great news.  I found out that he is not delivering babies anymore, he stopped back in June. 

 I had an ultrasound and got to see the sac, the nurse said she didn't pick up a heartbeat but there is a palpitation.  So I guess it is a good sign since I am only being pregnant for about 3 weeks.  So the doctor told me to be optimistic.  Basically there is nothing that I can do to increase the progesterone, at this point is to late.  So I have to hope that my baby will hang in there for a few more weeks until the baby is nourish through the placenta instead.

I have an appointment with the fertility md next week on Wednesday, so I am hoping that we get to hear the heartbeat or at least get better news, than cautiosly optimistic.

Please say a prayer for me, I need all the help I can get.
