Yahooooo!!!!!!

I just want to shout it from the roof tops - my hormones are GREAT!!!!!

LOL @ me :-)

Yes, I just got off the phone with the doctor - she called me herself after not getting a call back from the nurse on Wednesday.  I just have to say I LOVE DR. B!!!!  She is so sensitive and caring!

She said my levels were perfect for as far along as I suspect that I am!  (((((HUGE SIGH OF RELIEF)))))

Then she said she could see me at the end of this week for an ultrasound - and... cue my hesitation.......

She sensed it, and said, "We don't have to.  We can treat you like a normal patient.  I can see you at 8 weeks for an ultrasound like normal?"

I hesitated again - not necessarily sure I wanted to be treated as "normal" but also not wanting an ultrasound now only being a bit over 5 weeks along....

She sensed my hesitation again, and said, "Let's do this.  Let's check your levels one more time.  Then, we'll go from there?" 

I happily exclaimed, "Okay!"

The nurse then called me back, and we set up the blood draw.  This Wednesday morning.  Results should be in by Friday.  Then I also went ahead and just scheduled a regular 8 weeks appointment for Dec. 16th.

I'm believing - and TRUSTING GOD - and I feel so is Dr. B, that the blood results from this week will come back fine, and so that's why I asked for the 8 weeks ultrasound appointment.

I know she would give me an ultrasound whenever I wanted, at this point.  However, my hesitation toward doing that early comes from not wanting to relive that moment... the moment where I look at the ultrasound screen and hardly see anything there when there should be more there (a heartbeat but not much else), and so I being to worry about the development of my baby.  That happened at an almost 7 week ultrasound with Angel Baby, on my birthday. A week later, I miscarried.

I just can't do that again.  So I want to go in when I know I'll either see my baby bean with a good heartbeat or I won't...  I'M BELIEVING I WILL THOUGH!  ****giddy from excitement****

Dr. B believes that the loss of our Angel had to do with either one or both of two things:  1 - low progesterone and 2 - chromosomal abnormality - the most common reason for early miscarriages

Well,  number one is NOT a problem - most especially because I'm taking the synthetic progesterone night and day, prometrium.  And, well, number two... there's nothing I can do about that.  It's a God thing.  I need to believe that God's timing is all over this and good egg met good sperm this time to produce a rainbow baby.  :-))))

So, as long as these next tests come out normal as well, I won't see Dr. B until Dec. 16th - one day shy of 8 weeks along. 

I'm so excited, my heart is pounding!!! 

Hope you all are having a great day too!  Oh! And thank you for the responses to my idea for BLMs in honor of all our angels!  I'm soooo glad you love it!!!  I'll be sure to put the final touches on it over the Christmas break and roll it out next year - along with my new blog look that Franchesca at Small Bird Studio is working on.  I'm excited about that too!!!
