Blood Work Results

I woke up this morning around 3:30ish - decided to check my "Myspectrumhealth.org" website to see if it showed my blood test results.

It did not show my HCG levels but it showed my complete blood count, my blood type, and my TSH (whatever that means). All of those showed normal results.

The antibody screen showed positive so that made me worry. I got a hold of a nurse at 9am and she said that the positive was because of the Rhogam shot I had... so that made me feel better.

My HCG levels..

Aug 3rd = 39,973
Aug 6th = 68,936   (79,946 would have been double) difference of 11,010

Since the number did not double they wanted to change my ultrasound from Monday the 13 to Thursday the 9th. My appointment is at 11:30am.

I'm not really too worried because my levels are quite high it seems like and they at least went up.
Not sure why they did not quite double though??

That's exciting your ultrasound got moved up! I wonder how long the numbers double for before they start leveling off. Maybe you're farther along than you thought?

I'm glad that it was moved up! Anxious to see what it shows. When I went to my 1st appointment to discuss Family history I had asked if I was around 6 weeks because all the apps I downloaded on my phone showed yesterday was exactly 6 weeks. (But I don't know specifically when my last period was so I just guessed June 25th so that's where April 1st comes from) The nurse said - no about 5 weeks. That was confusing. I think she just thought of that off the top of her head. Hoping the ultrasound gives a better idea of how far along I actually am. =)
