Update on hCG Levels

OK Update!
Well my hCG levels were 60. My dr. didn't send me for more bloodwork until Next Friday, because he wants there to be 7-10 days between the two tests. He said that number is fine, seeing as I got bw taken so early. I asked him about 5 times if he was concerned with that number, until he finally said "No, it's positive. Relax". Sooooooooo that's good news.

The receptionist, again, was not friendly. And when I asked her when I am suposed to book my pre-natal appointment, she said "After the new bloodwork that the dr. just ordered to confirm the pregnancy". I said "Well, he's confident that it's positive and has no problem with that number" and then she said "Let me ask" ... she asked the other receptionist, and whispered something to her, and came back and told me that I should really have more bw done, and that I should get it done today. I told her that the Dr. wanted a 7-10 day span in between... and she said "Oh, went over and whispered into the other receptionist's ear AGAIN and came back and said "well I guess we will book you in after these results.

It is obvious that they both think that 60 is way too low. However, my dr. doesn't have a problem with that number, so I am just not worryig about them. Considering they aren't doctors, or nurses, I'm sure that's the right thing to do. OH it just made me SO MAD!! I even tried to explain to her that I tested very early.. and then I found myself thinking "WHY am I explaining this to her??" Anyway, the good news is that the doctor was not concerned... that's all I care about! I can certainly deal with a b*****y receptionist if I have a healthy baby in my arms in September.
