Guest guest Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 Hello everyone. Well, the the 3rd set of blood test results are in. I went from 210 to 353 to 1,336! (I'm 5 weeks pregnant).... asked the nurse practitioner if I'm good to go and everything is fine and she more or less told me to wait until my ultrasound on 12/2 because something bad could happen within the next 2 weeks. Ugh...something could happen at any point...this woman, I just don't care for her. She never smiles, seems always crabby... Here I am, the cramping is gone, the levels have gone far beyond expectation... chances are this is not an ectopic pregnancy with the level being that high... I just don't understand why she has to be like that. If the pregnancy wasn't viable to levels wouldn't be increasing like that! *sigh* This woman has zero bedside manner.

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 Jacque! This is wonderful news!!! I'm so happy for you and forget that crabby nurse! This reminds me of my last visit to my OB's office for just a nurse visit. The nurse that saw me was crabby and her bed side manner sucked too. As she was getting ready to take my blood pressure I rolled my sleeve up and she made this awful face and said very loudly, " What's going on here!?! What are all these red spots!?! " Now if the had taken a sec and reviewed my chart she would see that I have psoriasis, but besides that, it isn't like I'm covered with spots! Yes, during the winter it is worse and at times where I do have it will be bright red, but I only have ONE spot about the size of a pea on the inside of my arm just below my wrist. I am used to people reacting to my psoriasis, people who aren't familiar with the disease can be shocked by seeing it, but it isn't discussing and oozing or anything like that, its just a red spot of dry skin! Also, I would kinda expect that someone in the medical field, even if they weren't familiar with the disease would at least have a better bedside manner to ask what is going on, not just blurt it our so rudely. I glad that you aren't letting your crabby nurse get you down, don't let her spoil this special miracle with her black cloud!!!! Maybe both of us, if we encounter these crabby nurses next visit, should politely point out to them that they might have a better day at work if they try to smile and be more positive. Again congrats!!!!! Axelrod New Results Hello everyone. Well, the the 3rd set of blood test results are in. I went from 210 to 353 to 1,336!

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Jacque, I'm sorry this woman is so negative. Try not to let her get to you -- easier said than done, I know. It sounds like your blood levels are good. Was there a concern that it was ectopic because of the cramping? At least that's stopped now. Best of luck to you, and let us know what happens at your U/S. I am 6 weeks pregnant and I am not seeing my doc for 3 more weeks. I have had no blood tests yet -- won't have anything until I see the doc. I'm not sure if this is good or bad -- on the one hand, I'm not worrying about the results of a lot of tests, but on the other, I have no idea if everything going well in there. Is it normal to wait until 8/9 weeks for a first doctor's visit? Should I be concerned? I feel slightly nauseous, though no vomiting, just that pre-vomit feeling in the back of my mouth and mouth-watering. My boobs are bigger and VERY sore, and I'm tired all the time. So I try not to worry, since these are definitely signs of pregnancy. But I'm scared that I will go for my first visit on 12/11 and get bad news. I try not to dwell on it, but it's definitely in the back of my mind. This is my first time to do this, so I don't know what I'm doing, and I think some test results from a doc might be reassuring. I don't know... Jacque, I'll keep you in my thoughts! Best wishes, Lap RNY 4/5/01 EDD 7/04 > Hello everyone. Well, the the 3rd set of blood test results are in. > I went from 210 to 353 to 1,336!
