KL - Glad to hear I'm not the only lop-sided one. Must be the moon or something it's my right one too! I like the way you said you got 'stabbed'. I certainly did today too!
PLC - Thanks so much. Soooooooooooo happy to hear that everything is great with you!
Fifi - Hope you're feeling better soon. Glad to hear that you got a nice massage.
Jenushka - Sorry to hear about your grandma. I hope you have a nice relaxing weekend. Take care
Jen - Thanks
Babyfever - I think you did a bit too much hoping for me ... they are very high and strong!!
Leyza - That's fantastic news.
AFM - Went to get my BT this morning. Had a trainee. I think it must have been her first day. Over the last few months, I have had an uncountable number of BT's, so it really doesn't phase me any more. I also have a pretty good idea on how they do it. Normally, they come from below and jab up the arm. This lady started coming straight at me, if anything pointing down the arm. It hurt like nothing else!! It felt like she had just jabbed me with a hot poker, and then the back of my hand went really hot. I had to dig my nails into my skin so I could feel some other pain. She was terrible. And get this ... just before she put it in, she said "you'll just feel a little sensation". Sensation? Geez!! Normally they say "a little sting" or a "little pr!ck". Perhaps she knew it would be worse than a little sting and so she's chosen the word 'sensation' to describe the 'hot poker' feeling!! It felt like she was taking the blood from my elbow!! ANYWAY, enough winging ... She said the results would be in by 2pm, so to call after 2pm. So I called, of course, at 1.45pm. Not in yet. Then again at 2.45pm. Not in yet. Then again at 4pm. YAY they're in! My progesterone was at 66 and my hCG was negative. I am not too concerned about my -ve hCG as I am only 7DPO. Doc said to re-test at 10DPO cause he is "interested to see what my progesterone will look like at 10DPO". But we're going up the coast this weekend, and there are no SN pathology open up there on a Sunday, so I'll just have to wait till 11DPO, Monday. Doc says that hCG should be registering at 10DPO, so I'll have all my fingers and toes crossed for Monday's result. So what's the deal with my progesterone? I didn't think to ask doc on the phone. I was a bit phased and in a "so when can I test again" frame of mind. Has anyone heard of such a high progesterone? I have a graph here, and that's what it's supposed to be at 22 weeks pregnant! I also got this info off the net... Unusually high progesterone levels in the blood may indicate that the lady could give birth to twins or more. At the same time, this could also signify a molar pregnancy. A molar pregnancy happens when there are some abnormalities in the fertilized egg during conception. The fertilized egg either never develops into an embryo (complete mole) or develops abnormally and can't survive (partial mole). I don't particularly want twins, but if I have to choose one over the other, bring on the twins! Any other suggestions of why my progesterone might be so high?? Please??
Take care girlies.
