Well, I went again for blood tests yesterday (Tuesday). My poor veins look like a pin cushion. Luckily I haven't been bruised as bad as the first time.
So anyway, I went in early so I could make sure I got the results back same day. I don't like waiting. I know patience is a virtue, but I am not virtuous. I know it, and I don't care. Well, I called at 3, and there was no result. That would have given them about 2 hours to process. I called again at 4:30, and there was still no result. The nurse I talked to said she would call down to the lab and see what the hold up was. I sat on hold, and she came back to say that she left a message, and she would call me back if she heard anything before the end of the day. She said not to worry if I didn't hear, it just meant they didn't get it finished. I guess it was a busy day?
So this morning, I sent an email first, asking for an answer if it was available. An hour and a half later, there was nothing. Which is really weird, because Tammy is always really awesome about getting back to me right away. So I called. (Tammy isn't in the office today!) She looked it up, and ... sounded like she was trying to hold back from saying anything. She asked too if I had any bleeding or anything. I started to panic. My thoughts were racing - even though it's only 5 weeks, I can not lose this baby. I'm too attached already. It can't happen to me.... Well, she looked at the results from last Friday, for a reference (it was 1893, by the way), and then told me that the new result from yesterday was 8587. HUGE INCREASE!! So here I am thinking that everything is fine, but she says that she wants to run it by the other doctor in the office. And I asked, "Does that mean there is something else to worry about, or something else going on?" She said no, she just wants to have a doctor looked at it and see what comes next.
See, I hate when I have to deal with people who are not my regular OB (Dr. Jayne) or the regular nurse I deal with (Tammy). Tammy is awesome, and is very upfront with me. She tells me exactly everything. Dr. Jayne will tell me that I have nothing to worry about - when the ultrasound tech told me about the extra fluid with Casper, I was scared spitless. But Dr. Jayne said it was a negligible amount over normal, and she would look into what to do and handle everything. She knows how to calm me down, unless there is something to really worry about. I know she cares, and I know she knows ME.
Ugh. So needless to say, more waiting. Who knows what kind of answers they are going to give me. I want to see Dr. Jayne. I want to get HER opinion, and hear what SHE says about everything! Why can't things work the way I want them to? These other people cause me unneeded amounts of stress (mostly because they don't know the whole situation, and what it means to have a rainbow baby....) and I do not want to deal with them!!!
*sigh*
UPDATE!!! I heard back from the clinic. The nurse talked to the physician's assistance, who said everything looks great, and the next step is the early ultrasound! She wants to wait until next week, since 6 weeks is the earliest they want to do an ultrasound. As it is, not much will be visible, but it's a start!!!
