I got my HCG drawn yesterday (among other things) and it came back less than 2, so I am officially NOT pregnant anymore. Holy cow, I did not have a D&C and I can't hardly believe it. And I swear, it was nothing more than a long period, I never had really any sort of cramps. So I guess that's lucky....
The phlebotomist yesterday was really struggling. First he could not figure out what labs had been ordered. From what I gathered it was the Factor V Leiden, Prothrombin time, and Lupus anticoagulant, in addition to the beta HCG. Anyway, he had to get like 10 tubes ready. Then he stabbed me and I started bleeding ALL OVER the place, it was crazy. That has never happened before. He had to stop and start over again on the other arm because otherwise I probably would have just bled to death right there in the chair. It was really gross. I am not usually squeamish about getting my blood drawn anymore but normally I don't see my blood pouring out and running down my arm like that. *shudder* So I was a little queasy by the time it was all over. I filled out a form to have the results mailed to me so that I can take them with me to my appointment with the specialist. Unfortunately I know that I have already had all those tests done before and nothing was amiss. So on the one hand, that probably means we're still back to square one. On the other hand, if I came back positive for a clotting disorder I probably would not be able to donate blood anymore, which I would be a little sad about. I am type O negative and they are always calling me begging me to come in.
Eric's friend from college called him on Saturday and announced that he was getting married in Vegas on Friday and would we like to come. So we are jetting off bright and early tomorrow morning for a 48 hour whirlwind trip. Full of mischief I am sure. I did get pregnant with Seth like right after we went to Vegas the last time so maybe this is a good omen.
