Can't Win

The good news is, I feel great today.

The bad news is, I feel great today.


This is terrifying.  It's exactly what happened to me a year ago when I had a blighted ovum.  All of a sudden, that sick fog just lifted and I felt like a million bucks.  I hit the books and managed to pass my classes (no way I could have done that with morning sickness!) then called the doctor on my way home from my exam.  She scolded me for not calling sooner.  But what would they have done sooner?  Absolutely nothing, because if your pregnancy is doomed, then it is doomed, and there is no saving it. 

Today I will use my ability to smell food to enjoy dinner with friends, and for that I am grateful. I am just worried.  Very worried.

I called the midwife.  She was most sympathetic.  We decided to start with blood testing so that I have a bit more info by the time I attend my 8 week appointment on Monday.  HCG levels should approximately double every 48 hours.  We shall see how mine measure up.
