Actually, she had pretty much given up on trying to get pregnant.....the wee morning hours of Nov. 29th, she woke up and had to pee......but ohhhh did it ever burn.......First thought was a kidney/UTI infection that she was plagued with during the pregnancy with Nevaeh.......Immediately she got out a pee stick........sure enough......a very faint line!!!!! So faint, she questioned it. After work, she was VERY uncomfortable, so she decided to go to urgent care for the UTI, but first stopped at Walmart for a First Response (Pregnant/Not Pregnant) pee stick.....even though they would most likely check for a pregnancy at Urgent Care.......They did check with a normal pee stick, while getting the same faint result.......While they were trying to decide if the second line was really there, Courtney took her own test from Walmart........PREGNANT!
With her PCOS issues and not knowing when she ovulated, and getting a faint line on Nov. 29th, Courtney was guessing she was around 3 weeks. First hcg 220 (Dec. 3rd), 2nd hcg 503 (Dec. 6) with a doubling time of 2.5 days (within low normal range). The 3rd hcg 1470 (Dec. 10)....still a doubling time of 2.5 days. 4th hcg 2974 (Dec. 12)!!!! Within the 2 day normal window of doubling time!
With the 4th hcg number rising nicely, the OB set her first appointment......but not until Jan. 3rd! UGH......not good for Courtney's anxiety over all of this......next best thing......pay for an ultrasound at the local private ultrasound place.....here's a picture....not the best quality, but definitely shows a little bean in the uterus and not the fallopian tubes. :-) Their machine was lower quality than the private Ultrasound place used in the past.....so they couldn't date the pregnancy for accuracy this early in the game.....We are all guessing around 5 weeks due to the fetal pole and hcg levels.......Putting a due date sometime in mid August! :-)
See what I mean about the lower resolution? Our little peanut is that dot. :-)
