Another Blood Test
Well, yesterday, (Monday) I had to get another blood test. Yuck! I hate needles and I had a really bad experience trying to give blood one time and I dread these procedures every time. I know the needles for taking blood and donating blood are different sizes but the flash backs always come any time the needle gets close to my arm. I have been proud of myself, inspite of the anxiety. I have been a brave little girl and try not to let on too much when I sit down in the chair. The first time hurt a little, the second time didn’t hurt at all and yesterday…that lady got me good. It took forever to quit bleeding and it definitely stung. But…I’m over it.
On to the important stuff… Chris Peters called me and said my pregnancy levels were up to 6800 a little over a week ago they were only around 600. So, that is definitely good news. But…my progesterone levels have dropped. The last test had me in the 40’s and this time I was in the 20’s. It is not dangerously low yet…but I now have to take two progesterone tablets each day. One in the morning and one at night. This stuff makes me sleepy.
So…now I will have to take another blood test when I go in for my ultrasound on Tuesday, January 6th. We’ll keep you posted.
