Doctor appointment!

Ok well not exactly THE doctor appt that we have been looking forward too...but I still received some news that brings excitement and some that brings relief. When I called my OB again the other day questioning whether I should be medicating for my thyroid, they suggested that I get an appt with my primary care physician and get my blood levels checked again to bring the results more up to date. This was all well and good except I HATE giving blood now (last time I volunteered at the blood drive my vein rolled and I don't know what else happened but I shrieked in pain and tears flooded my eyes, since then I have been a chicken). Anyway I went and gave the blood without any problems today (thank goodness) and she said since she was already going to a full work up...would I like her to do the pregnancy looks too? Such as how far along you are (based on your H.C.G level or something) and that she can even sometimes tell if you are carrying twins or not. HA! I thought that was crazy...she can tell that without even looking at a sonogram?! Well I was all for it, #1) I can't wait to hear ANYthing about my baby from a doctor's perspective like how far along I am etc. #2) I am sure its just paranoia but I am terrified of twins being a realistic concept because my girlfriend that lives two houses down just came up with twins completely unexpectedly on her first pregnancy. Yep, identical twin boys!



So as you can see this DOES happen...it truly is such a miracle, blessing, and true gift from god for sure but to be quite honest I am not sure I would be as brave about it as she has been. Anyway back on topic...the doctor said she would probably have results tomorrow or at the latest Monday! How GREAT! This will give me a new found confidence...and I might even be brave enough to confide in someone at work of my status! (That's right I haven't told a soul yet at work...and its been killing me to at least have someone to talk to and complain to when I am not feeling good. Thank goodness for my instant email buddies, you know who you are :-)

The second thing the doctor told me that gave me the relief was...she thought my thyroid levels weren't going to be an issue at all. She said after speaking with the specialist I saw last year they decided that my levels weren't to be worry-some because it was most likely caused by my birth control! Wow...all this worrying for nothing! Well not completely, I DO have cysts on my thyroid that I have to continue monitoring...but as far as baby, she is almost sure that everything is going to be ok even without medication. Whew!
Oh and one last thought...I still planning on "jogging" the 5K for Race for the Cure this weekend even though I haven't been out running in probably 2 1/2 weeks (thank you non-stop rain) so wish me luck that I can make it through without having to stop for a nap or something. HA!
Anyway I will be sure and post what the doctor has to say about my blood work (hopefully tomorrow!)
