So my nurse just called and said my hcg is rising great (she didn't tell me exact numbers and they aren't available online yet :/) but wants me to take baby aspirin (already am), and extra vitamin B and Folic Acid which she called me in a rx for.
Then she told me they're referring me to a rheumatologist based on my labs (I had a full panel done last month and they never called me about them) but literally couldn't explain to me why or what that meant. My doctor is out of the office until tomorrow so she said she'll get clarification and call back tomorrow but obviously I'm freaking out now. I don't know what it means and I started to Google and got a little overwhelmed so I just stopped. Ugh.

pambee is it your GP’s nurse? I only hold a degree in google but maybe your blood work showed signs of inflammation (like a high white blood cell count?) and they just want to rule stuff out? Keep us updated, I hope you don’t wait long. Better to have a proactive care team than not etc. I hate that they left you hanging - that’s like a “id like to meet with you later today” from your boss. And — hooray for rising betas!!!!!!!

And yeah who knows I just wish she had left me with something more specific like that rather than I'm getting you a referral you this but can't tell you why. So hopefully 🤷♀️ I'll find out eventually I guess.

I’m sorry she left you with more questions.

Can I join in here?
I feel bad posting my nervous pregnant chatter on my other BMB.
EDD based on my period is May 21. *Trigger warning* I had 2 missed miscarriages before having my DD in April 2015 2 weeks early because I had pre eclampsia.
I'm going to go back and read this thread.

Finally got to see my actual beta numbers, 173 to 427 in 48 hours! Thats 37 hours doubling time and I'm happy with that. Yesterday she told me she'd send me for another draw next week and if they're high enough then schedule an u/s, so just waiting for that.
Overnight I thought a lot about the phone call and how much little information I was given, told to take 3 supplements but not why, and about the referral, so I'm calling back this morning with more questions. I was caught off guard yesterday and didn't know what to ask or say and now I just feel uninformed. I don't mind taking the supplements, and I started them last night, but I want to know why.

pambee that’s a fantastic doubling time! Definitely pursue those questions/answers, a better informed patient is good for everyone.

No food sounds good anymore, and everything tastes bland. It's so sad 😭 I obsessively drink Mountain Dew like it's going out of style. It tasted rank last night and this morning. I drank it through my entire pregnancy with DD. A good friend of mine couldn't drink soda at all with her son's pregnancy, and now she's drinking Dr. Pepper like it's going out of style, so our preliminary early guesses are that I'm having a boy and her a girl this time. (Our firsts are 10 days apart) and if it works out for both of us our #2s will be similarly in age. Funny because we didn't meet until our littles were 2 and 3 weeks old!)

remi how are you doing this morning? Any pee sticks from today? ❤️ pambee sorry nothing tastes good, I have the opposite thing going on but I recognize how fortunate that is. Is food being unpalatable making you have nausea from the empty stomach? tapdancer happy anniversary! First tri sucks the joy out of everything eh.

Is food being unpalatable making you have nausea from the empty stomach? tapdancer happy anniversary! First tri sucks the joy out of everything eh. I decided to not take one today and see what tomorrow’s look like. I messaged the nurse again this morning to see if they would order it without my doc being there, so hopefully somethings comes of that. I feel calmer today overall so I think it was good not to pee on something if all it does it make me stressed because it doesn’t look different. And I’m only 4 weeks today, so maybe now I’ll have more hcg show up.

Tlex I get a slight wave of nausea in the middle of the day/early afternoon if I don't eat anything, yeah. Not enough to make me sick but enough to make me just feel yucky. On a normal day I typically don't eat lunch, but when I'm pregnant I usually have to eat a lot of small meals to keep my energy up. So this isn't a good combo, lol.

Tlex did you say that you had trouble with the progression early on? Yeah, this was a slow starter but my betas caught up and hopefully everything is going well now. I am a huge water drinker - like the tech told me last US if you want you can skip the drinking requirements and just be aware of not peeing for an hour or so before your appointment and you’ll for sure have a full enough bladder. So I think that makes it harder for me to get super lines early on. My betas were also slow at first though, so idk. I started with a doubling time of almost 67 hours, but it improved to about 33 hours later. I also stopped POAS pretty early on and let the betas rest after a week of them too, it was soooooo stressful I apparently reached my breaking point of wanting all the data. I hope your doc’s office sets up your betas today so you can get them over with. ❤️

I also have been drinking tons of water since Sunday so maybe I’m just not getting strong positives because of that?
