27 January 2005 Shock of shocks I did a Home Pregnancy Test (HPT) today and it showed up with a faint positive. I don’t have a good feeling about this, it came up late and very faint. Who knows what this means just as we are about to start IVF.
28 January 2005 My friend (also a GP) ordered a blood test and my HCG was only 12. Not good, means I’m pregnant, but is a bit low. I’ll have another one next week to see what happens. We are kind of excitied about the prospect of maybe not doing IVF, or at least spending the money. I must admit though I was looking forward to the chance of twins with IVF. Here is a link which has the optimum HCG levels during early pregnancy. http://www.ivfer.com/hcg.htm#HCG%20Levels%20in%20Early%20Pregnancy
One part of me says this must all be good and meant to be, I mean why else would this happen just before we start an IVF cycle, surely life won’t be that cruel??
1 February 2005 Yesterday my original OB Dr H ordered some blood tests. Unfortunately they came back lower ‘8′. This means we will probably lose our little one within a few days.
After the doctor phoned I was crying and my beautiful little DS (almost 3) came up and said ‘I sorry mummy’ I told him he did nothing wrong so he gave me a hug and said ‘no cry mummy it will be alright’. What a beautiful little man, I thank God for him daily.
