The consult on the 31st of August was canceled due to the doctor being in surgery that day...hence the long delay in posts. I am slated for a visit and chat with her tomorrow so we will see where things stand.
It seems that the doctor and her staff have taken quite an interest in my case (after all, I am a .01% chance), or they just worry that I never call them to check in on myself. I keep getting personal phone calls from Dr. Hart or her nurse wanting to see how I am doing and wanting to deliver my latest numbers to me. I would rather hide away in my mostly blissful Kaia-filled life and forget the nightmare that was two months ago. However, Kaia does want that sibling so I guess I shall muster up the energy to deal with hormones and needles (my arm is starting to look like I am a recreational drug user).
My last call was at 7pm Thursday night from my favorite nurse, Cheryl. She has been my cheerleader and activist getting me switched to Dr. Hart's care and she always makes room for me in the doctor's schedule which is generally booked three months out.
Here is the news I got from Cheryl:
8/31: hCG level 2.5
9/8: hCG level 1.5
9/15: hCG level 1
I am still not considered a "zero" reading, even though a drop from 20,000 to 1 is pretty significant. We are also still waiting to hear what the oncologist has to say about my wait time until we try for another baby. More answers might come tomorrow. I am hoping for at least a .5 reading in the morning and less than 6 months wait time.
In the meantime, I had my ENT appointment for my thyroid and my nodule is still sitting at a plump 2.8cm...so still no slicing up my neck for now ( : I was worried that all of my elevated hormone levels would have caused an increase in its size, but they only caused about five months of extra sleepiness!
