Hi, thanks for your reply. Did you request a check of your HCG level or did GP organise automatically? As I mentioned, mine was less than useless and said that I didn't need one, although I would have liked one to check my levels were as they should be. Where abouts in QLD are you? We have just moved to Mackay from NSW, makes it even harder as I have left all my friends behind and don't know anyone here yet. Was supposed to get myself a job organised in the local ED but that will ahve to wait now. I am currently doing telephone triage from home, stress free and easy but not good for the social life! Good luck with your pregnancy, I hope everything goes well. Is this your first?
No I haven't seen a Dr yet. I had a m/c in May and I still had the referral for the pathology I knew I would be needing it again so I took it down the day after my AF was late. Yesterday my HCG was 68. The range said it should be over 100 for where I think I am (15DPO yeterday) but I could be a few days out which would make all the difference. Thats what I am hoping anyway as I don't think I could handle another loss and it would totally turn me off trying and even working in Maternity so I am for a happy ending/beginning.
I am off to see the Dr now. I went earlier. Ill let you know what they say when I get back. I am demanding a repeat that I hope to have tomorrow or Thursday to confirm my levels are rising accordingly.
I saw a Dr (never seen this one before) she seemed excited I was pregnant. Said I was early pregnant and that my levels are fine going on my LMP which was 18/7/09
I asked for a repeat BT which she gave me. I don't think she was going to offer it to me but seemed happy to give it to me when I asked. There was no talk on scans or referral to see an obstetrician but I want to continue with her until the 12week mark when Ill go see my obstetrician. She also told me to have it Thursday 72hrs later not Tomorrow being 48hrs later.
When she asked me how many children I had I said 2. She seemed shocked I would want another one. She said 2 was more then enough and why would I want more. I told her I have always wanted more then she asked if I had one of each and I said no I had two girls she had oh you want a son. I said not at all. Funny how she assumed I am only tryiong to go back for a son and that 2 is more then enough. Overall I was happy with her though although a bit hard to understand.
