RedRose, I'm very sorry to hear your news.
As for me, I did another blood test today; came back at 1055 at 4+3. So it has more than doubled again which makes me happy. I think I will only do one more on Monday, and if its good I will stop. Otherwise it will make me crazy... comparing it to Devon's numbers constantly. No more spotting at this point (Praise the Lord!! And usually I don't say this kind of stuff, but I really really need all the help I can get).
As for the Digis, I read somewhere that they trigger a reading of 3+ at 20,000mIu. But that seems ridiculous. I think it was a typo and that is was supposed to be 2000. I know with Devon I got one just after turning 5 weeks, and I was only somwehere around 3000 then.
I think more realistically, it probably triggers around 1500-2000. Otherwise it seems like such a huge jump is needed from the other ones.
For a reading of 1-2 weeks it is supposed to be 25-100.
For a reading of 2-3 weeks, it is supposed to be 200-300.
Anyways, thats just a guess. So I talk to this Dr from New Jersey today. He does alot of TACs, and although I wish so badly that I could go to him, I know I can't afford it. Anyways, he says my optimal time for having the TAC surgery would be between Xmas and New Years. Wow... bad timing or what! But I guess I gotta do what I gotta do. I really wish he could operate on me though....
Hey is there anyone from New Jersey here that wants to put me up for a couple of days??
(
Just kidding.... maybe...)
