Both Jim and I went to quest this morning to get blood tests done. J had a regular doctors check up last week so he needed to do a blood test to see that he has all the vitamins and stuff. I went there for my normal weekly HCG blood test. I still haven’t got my result back from last week…cause noone can find the result. I was on the phone all afternoon yesterday talking to all the different doctors offices trying to figure out where my test had been sent. The front desk at my new doctors office also confirmed yesterday that she has put in orders of hcg blood tests for me for three months from now on, but when I arrived at quest this morning they couldn’t find anything. It was too early to call my doctor so I had to just go home. J got his test done and I have to call my doctor in an hour and see what is going on.
My new doctor is great (and she seems to be one of the best of the best at what she does) but the blood tests situation has been a mess cause papers and results get sent to different people and I have tests done at several places. Puh…so much going on.
I don’t know what I have written here last about my case (and maybe nobody cares..but there might be women out there who are dealing with the same thing so I write more for them), but basically nothing has changed. The test I did on July 1 showed same number as in April and the other super-early-pregnancy-blood-test that I did the same day apparently couldn’t show anything cause my numbers are too low (so that’s a good thing). They put me on birth control pills this month which I at first said no to (cause I always avoid pills and medicines unless I really have to take it, I don’t even take regular pain killers) but she only wanted me to take it for 21 days (one cycle) so I said ok. This is because my level might be a phantom…aka not really real…so if I take these for awhile maybe they can trick my body to understand it is not pregnant and it will lower my level…or something..I don’t really understand everything. It could also have something to do with weird antibodies floating around in my body but we don’t know.
If my level doesn’t go down after taking these pills, I will in a month or two go back for chemo but a different kind than I got before. I really don’t want that of course, especially not during summer cause that would mean I can’t be outside and be exposed to the sun and I have to take Thor out.
To sum it all up… Not only did I have a very rare type of pregnancy, I also have an extremely rare or even unknown case within it. Yay me, I feel so special.
