5 weeks 4 days

I did my next blood draw on Tuesday night. Basically, I ran from work to the doctor's office, got my blood work order and went cross the street to my GP's office, where they take blood and basically snuck my way in before the blood tech left for the night. They will have longer hours starting October, but currently, they close at 5. And the place by my OB is done at 4. Grrrr...

So, my results were done by Wednesday. I picked the perfect time to call, b/c the doc had just walked in and looked at my results:

My HCG was 5144!!!!! Holy crap! That equals a doubling time of 1.5 days. Every day and a half from Friday at noon to Tuesday at 4 my level had doubled. Which is great. They like it to double every 3 days. My progesterone was down to 17.9, which was strange, considering that I was on the prometrium since the last blood work, essentially, but maybe that's why is was so high. I'm still on it, just to be sure.

I am feeling so good about this pregnancy. I'm kinda hoping there might even be two in there -- I'd take a two for one deal. Make up for one of these miscarriages.

I have been VERY tired and pretty much nauseous most of the time. I have been getting hungrier lately, which is good. Before when I would get hungry, I would just feel sick instead.

My first doc appt is on Monday, which coincidentally is my first EDD. Hard to be sad about that, when you're at an appt for a different baby.

I hope that they go looking for things on Monday or I will be disappointed that I don't get to see anything. From what the doc and receptionist/nurse said, seems like I will just be talking. Talking about what, I don't know...

I'm feeling so good about everything, I even started a "wish list" at Target, which nobody knows about. However, I have it filled with mostly girl things. I want a girl. I want my Lily.
