And the Winner is...5w5d

Irritatingly, I get set on routines, and usually the clinic calls between 1:30-2:30.  After carrying my phones around for this hour, I was really starting to worry.  Was something wrong, so the doctor would call, and not until later?  Did they forget me (which they never do)?  Finally, at 2:47 the phone rang.

Nurse M said things are looking good.  Your HCG has gone from 614 to...and this sounded like a game show when they announce a winning something...nine thousand, nine hundred nintey four! (So that's a good rise).  Wow!  It had to be at least 7500, so I'm delighted with 9994!

The next wonderful thing she said is that the will do my first ultrasound next Thursday, 5/22!  I am so excited to find out if we have one or two little wonders, and hopefully see heartbeat(s).

It is nice to have a "yes" office rather than a "no" office.  I reported that I am finally nauseous and she told me to let her know if I want some Zofran.  I reported that the PIO shots are okay, and she said to let her know if I want to switch to suppositories.  It's nice to have someone offer options instead of saying "no, I can't help."

So here's to counting down the one week and one day...
