HCG level results in

[babifever]

Happy Friday everyone, well I went to my primary care physician, the one that diagnosis me with diabetes back in June. Low and be hold, he cannot and does not treat pregnant woman! He said normally at this point he refers his patients to their obgyn.

After I explained everything from yesterday, he said he was going to refer me to a Endocrinology doctor, who could treat me......I have a feeling no one is going to treat me but high risk because im pregnant...

At this time they haven't been able to locate a endocrine that's available now or accepts my insurance. So therefore I'm still in limbo, blood sugars still high!

I did call the high risk and made a compliant against the prik doc! Of course they just apologized. They have me scheduled in 2 weeks with another doctor, but still cannot treat me because my pregnancy is not considered "valuable" until the fetal pole and heart beat are detected. They used the word valuable.

The nurse manager (at high risk) also commented that 615 was still low for around 5 weeks: yet primary and obgyn said they make their determination from the second drawing and 615 was okay for around 4- 5 weeks!! I pray this high risk clinic doesn't continue to drown me in worry and doubt!

I did get my hcg drawn again today from 72 hours since last hcg. Results will be back Monday. Then my next ultrasound is Tuesday, in which they'll draw more blood.

At this point I have decided to leave everything up to God. I see why ultrasounds are not recommended until 8 to 12 weeks after lmp. Although this situation wasn't planned.

I honestly believe Im 4 weeks 6 days as one site predicted, based on 32 day cycle average, lmp 12/13 and a estimated lethal phase of 13 (according to fertility friends estimate). If so, then I'm right on target.

I went a ahead and changed my ticker from 9/19 to 9/26. Praying my bean sticks. Now the Chinese prediction is a boy, instead of a girl, ha ha.

I am sorry you are going through this wow. Anyway your cycles seem to mimic mine. With this baby I ovulated on day 22 with a luteal phase of 11 days. Since I ovulate a good week later than the text book 14. Which right off the bat would make me a week earlier in pregnancy. Going with LMP on my first apt. my doctor thought I was 7w 3/4d. I measured 6w 5d, spot on from when I ovulated.

I would try not to worry too much until next week and see what happens. I think personally everything will be fine. Good luck.

Wow wow wow! So sorry you have to deal with these insensitive people! It's the last thing you need now! I also think everything will be fine. You haven't had any bleeding/cramping to indicate that anything is wrong (btw I had both and everything was still fine!). I also had a stressfull start where at my first draw they told me mu hcg was very low and I should look out for spotting/cramping. Looking back it was just uninformed doctors. Then with my specialist I also got the run around about my meds - I had to stop one but my body had gotten dependant and they just ignored this. To the point where I demanded to see him and it finally got sorted.

Isn't there a diabetes foundation or something that can assist you in finding a doc? Surely there has to be some treatment as some woman develop diabetes during pregnancy. Urgh I can't stand doctors like those! They are suppose to help us not make things worse!

Good luck with all of this. My thoughts are with you!! Let us know what happens on monday. Try and have a good weekend!

Hey all, just got my 2nd hcg back. I was "615" - 72 hours later "2043". So I tripled you can say. I'm very pleased. Tomorrow morning will have another ultrasound and hcg test. Super excited! Anyone else got back hcg tests?

what's pissing me off is still no help with my diabetes! Primary won't treat me and can't find a endocrine. Obgyn won't treat me until fetal pole it detected. This is ridiculous.

Awwww knew it hun some of these nurses don't really know what there on about, cause my hcg was low at 9dpo which it would be was only 18 and my test from docs pregnancy test game back negative (yet there sensitivity is a lot higher) they still sent me home saying sorry but your heading for a miscarriage expect all the bleeding and bed rest, this was at my EPU at 9dpo well due to me spotting I refered myself to EPU again and they said come in for a scan so I did and there was the nurse again she said ain't we seen you already? I said yeah you basically told me that I wasnt pregnant anymore and sent me home, now I'm here for a scan as im actually 8 plus week pregnant she was like wow can't believe it, just goes to show don't it I think some of them just jump the gun, massive congratulations again have a happy & healthy 9 months x

Sooo they are putting me on insulin twice a day injections. The baby is progressing. They seen gestational sac and yolk sac (only seen the gestational sac last week). So my next ultrasound is next Tuesday. They should see the fetal pole then. They also checked my hcg level again to see if it increased (again). She said this should be the last draw. Results should be in tomorrow. Doc thinks I'm about 5 weeks. I believe the gestational sac was 4.5 cm.

That's great news!! So glad you are finally getting treatment and that things are progressing nicely! Congrats!

Hello everyone, I got my 3rd hcg results back today. All were 72 hours apart:

1st - 615
2nd - 2043
3rd - 6731

Today I'm feeling "pregnant". I'm going to the restroom even more and light nausea has been on/off all day. Actually I woke up this morning around 4am with a sour stomach.

I'm also hoping I'm done with the hcg beta/level tests....anybody know how it works?

Honestly I'm ready to complete the ultrasound next Tuesday, see the heartbeat, and take a break for a few weeks. Waiting on results gives me anxiety. I believe in my heart everything will be fine.

So how is everybody? What do you think of my results?

Those results are awesome! I'm not sure how your doc does it but I got 3 draws as well and then stopped. I'm so happy to hear everything is going good for you! Can't wait to hear how the ultrasound goes on Tuesday
