and Bug's hb is...

178!!

So Bug's hb picked up just like we hoped. Still measuring right on track and was dancing around in there. It was really neat to see on the screen.
Unfortunately the cyst on my right ovary is still there and not shrinking at all :/ I'm still hoping that's the cause of all this morning sickness and that bug gives me a break from it soon.
Bug at 9w3d:

bad blogger? yes, that's me.

A quick recap. I had my intake with the OBs office and SURPRISE!! that involved an ultrasound. I was led to believe that I'd have the intake and then schedule the u/s. Yeah. Nothing like a surprise date with the dildocam and your (nearly) 16 month old laughing at the tv. Little does she know that little thing she was laughing at is the Bug!
Bug's hb was still a lagging a bit. It was within the normal range, just at the low end, so I go back on Tuesday for a follow up u/s.
I'm feeling pretty sick still. I have no idea what else to try to stop it or at least reduce it. Nothing seems to work :( I think Bug just wants me to have 6-pack abs after their arrival.

RELEASED!

I WAS RELEASED!! I'm free to see my OB again! She's at a new practice (which is a HUGE plus for me), but still delivering at MRH so I am a happy, happy patient.

My hcg levels are still high and my progesterone level is still good and there's only 1 bug growing in there. They've got my edd one day before I do, so I'm just sticking with mine for now until after the next ultrasound. The not great news is that I have a rather large cyst on my right ovary and I should expect it to hurt when it ruptures. I'm still sick most of the day, but the cyst could be what's making it as bad as it is.

and here's the Bug (hb was 112):

newer numbers

today's blood work results...

hcg - 25,743
progesterone - 32

Everything looks good by the numbers. HCG is a little high, but that could be something or nothing.

1 week from today and we see what's growing :)
