Today after a crazy morning of teaching gymnastics and running around I finally made it to Idaho Falls around 3 p.m. TJ and Tyra stayed home so I just took Dylan and Braxton in with me to get my second HCG test done. This time it went much faster, thank goodness.
On my way out I saw my doctor. Dr. Baker wasn't the one I went to on Friday because he wasn't in. I told him that I was pregnant and so we talked for a few minutes. He said to use the Prometrium vaginally instead of orally... eew! He said that it works better and faster right through the skin instead of having to go all the way through the digestive system.
He also prescribed Glucophage for me. He said that the miscarriage rate is drastically reduced with people who are on it. Fine by me! At this point, I'll try ANYTHING that might help me keep this baby.
He also told me that my first test came back with a count of 962. He said that was great. Let's hope so!!! If the second test numbers have doubled, then I get to make an appointment at the end of my 6th week for an ultrasound. He said we'd be able to hear the heartbeat by then. WHAT??? That soon. How awesome is that? Results should be back tomorrow!!
