I made myself crazy today and last night worrying about the HCG test. It's silly. This is completely out of my hands. But what an emotional roller coaster. Today my IBS was so bad and I really haven't had many problems since having Scarlett. But that's what worry does to a person.
My HCG levels are at 4888. My last test, a week ago, was 1335. I was expecting in the 5000 range. I used the HCG calculator online and found my doubling time is 93 hours which is within the 72-96 doubling hour range it is supposed to be in. So, I'm thinking this is good news and that my Little Embryo that Could still has a fighting chance.
I feel badly b/c I didn't do much with Scarlett today - we played and read a lot, but I wasn't feeling good to go out and do errands, and it rained all morning. To top it off, she was groggy today from her immunization yesterday. At 10am she said, "tired, bed" and I put her in for a very early nap. I decided to nap a little bit also. In the afternoon, I took her over to visit my parents and I went upstairs and took a 30 minute nap again. I never had this exhaustion in my first pregnancy. But at least I know it's a pregnancy symptom. I did take Scarlett to the park in the afternoon with my mom so she did get some fresh air.
So now I just have to make it through the next 6 days for my next ultrasound and blood work.
Take good care of yourself--thinking of you.
