HOW CAN I WAIT NINE MORE DAYS?!?
I want to know RIGHT NOW if I'm pregnant!
Had more blood work this morning. The nurse always calls around 2pm with the results. My husband heard the message and sent me a text saying she sounded really positive. :) So cute! I listened to it when I got home. I think she sounded the way she always does.
Estridol - 1,992
Progesterone - 40.3
Progesterone levels in the first trimester? 10 - 47 (or 90, depending on what source it's coming from). BUT, we can not get excited. On Monday the doctor started me on progesterone suppositories - 100mg 2x/day. I've been trying to find out how quickly they take effect and can raise levels but with no luck. Some sites I've come across say they make no difference at all. Either way, higher levels seem to indicate a better chance of pregnancy!
I was also instructed to give myself an injection of 5,000 IU of hcg tonight. Which means that I can't take an over-the-counter pregnancy test because I will get a false-positive. I must wait until Friday April 9th to get the blood test!
Oh, right now I'm just going to believe that I am! ;)
Just stumbled across this:
Vaginal suppositories of 100 mg progesterone produce a rapid increase in plasma progesterone levels, which peak within 4 hours between 9.5 and 19.0 ng/mL. Over the next 8 hours, there is a gradual fall in plasma a levels.
