UPDATE: Blood Drawn!

Drawn? Drewn? Drew? Blood draw? I dunno what the past tense is for draw - I just realized.

But the point is that none of those words have squiggly red underneath them so I think they're all right.

Anyways, I just got back from the doctor where I have my very first beta draw. Ummm like 8 days after I requested one. I have no clue why my PCP wouldn't do this draw and why they still haven't responded to my email from yesterday. Maybe they saw that I went around them and got it taken care of anyways. Either way, if I speak to someone, they're going to get an earful about how ignoring me is NOT how you take care of a patient who requests something.

Funny side note:  When I finally got a call back from the OBGYN's office, I explained to them why I had to go around my PCP in TEARS. I was like, "I don't know why this makes me so sad," and the woman goes, "Well you're definitely pregnant then!"

So now I patiently await my results from the draw. At this point I don't know what to expect. Something in the thousands for sure, right? According to BetaBase I should have about 865 since I'm 20 DPO.

Hopefully I'll have an update by today around 3:00 CST.

Until then...

UPDATE: Ok so I got the call and my beta is 1632.5!!! Halleluiah! That's way higher than betabase's median so I think that's good news. And I have my follow up scheduled for Saturday morning. HURAAY!
