2nd Hcg test

My second Hcg test was on Monday, February 11th.  I also had to stop by the office to show the doctor my injection site on my hip.  As it turns out, an infection (cellulitis) started to set in.  I was using progesterone in ethyl oleate, which the doctor said was thinner and spreads out instead of staying localized when using the progesterone in peanut oil.  He told me to stop the injections and start using Crinone.  So, THAT I'm glad of!  He also commented on how high my Hcg number was on my first test.  He mentioned something about one of the embryos possibly splitting.  YIKES!  

On the way home I got the call about my test results.  My number more than doubled!!!  I can't remember the exact number because I was so excited, but it was over 600!!!  Again, the idea of triplets flashed through my head!  TRIPLE YIKES!

I go back on Tuesday February 19th for my first ultrasound to see if the embryos are where they are suppose to be and to see how many are in there.

Awesome, congratulations, enjoy the journey ahead!


Thank you, God, for blessing us with a successful full term pregnancy and for helping me recognize and receive your guidance and healing power as our baby grows in my womb.  I know that we are being blessed with a beautiful, healthy baby, and I thank you for your loving presence in our lives.  Amen.
