What's been going on with me

I just thought I would let you know what's been going on with me. Today I am a little over 6 weeks pregnant. Last Thursday I went and had my first blood work up for the pregnancy to see where I stand with everything. This will probably sound like a foreign language but here goes. My HCG level was 257 and my Progesterone was 6.9. Dr wanted my Progesterone to be higher than that. Progesterone is a very important thing in the first trimester. So, he started me on Prometrium which is for just that. This really got me down and scared. I had to go have more blood work done. They wanted my HCG to be doubled from 257. So yesterday I called to get my results almost sick to my stomach not knowing what they were gonna tell me. They had to call me back because they had to call the lab to get the results, they knew I wanted them like NOW, LOL. So, about 15 minutes later I get a call from my DR himself. I was thinking it must not be good if they had him call me back. But to my surprise my HCG more than doubled. It went from 257 to 1190!!!! I was so happy to get that news!

Greyson will be 2 in 3 weeks and I can't believe it. I think we are just gonna do the Chuck E. Cheese thing. He will love it there. Anyway, that's all for now! Just wanted to let everyone know where things are! Oh yeah, I almost forgot I have been blessed with a case of pregnancy vertigo. I had it with Greyson too, but this time seems worse and is lasting longer. It's hard to work like that. But, it will all be worth it in the end!
