Who knew how a simple thing like HCG levels could tell you how your babies developing?
For those of you who know me...you know that I have had two miscarriages this past year so when your pregnant for the 3rd time you worry from the time you see the positive test up until every DR Appt to know whether or not everything is okay. The DR suggested we monitor my HCG Levels in order to determine if this pregnancy was a go. For those of you who do not know these usually double in a 24 hour period (but also may take up to 72 hours):
Appointment #1 (Sept 11th) HCG Level: 46.2
Appointment#2 (Sept 13th) HCG Level: 153.49
Appointment#3 (Sept 15th) HCG Level: 255.61 Didn't double :(
Appointment#4 (Sept 17 th) HCG Level: 580.52
After all of these blood tests my arm is bruised and I am so sick of needles but at least I know that baby is developing as it should. I'm so relieved and thankful but still worried as usual.
