today has been a bit of an up and down kinda day, didn't get much sleep last night and we also had our first sleep walking experience with our son, who at 12:45am was asleep but playing with his toy's and moving them all around his room, i went to get the phone to take a pic for my hubby who was at work by the time I'd gotten back my son had crawled under his cot and curled up like a sleeping kitten, it was hard to get him out from under there without waking him that's for sure. but i did and got him back into bed again, and thankfully that's where he stayed for the rest of the night.

this morning i rang to talk to my doctor about my blood results, i got the lady on the desk (rude woman she is) asked to speak to him she asked why i told her she then proceeded to tell me that she wasn't going to be passing on the message to him as i need to get off my lazy arse and come and see him (her words). 

i was so upset when i got off the phone from her, and when i was telling my hubby what had happened he rang the rooms again and spoke the lady in charge and told her what had happened and that we would like an apology from the lady for her rudeness.

my hubby then asked the lady if she could please past the message onto our doctor, when my hubby got of the phone all he could say was what a lovely lady she was.

well my doctor just rang me to give me my HcG blood results and i am starting to feel so much happier

my doctor said to me that my HcG levels were in the range of 600 to 850 he also said that these levels were the range of a 5 week pregnancy he is really happy with this. 

I'm off for my ultrasound on Thursday to check the bub out and to make sure that everything is looking fine.

tonight I'm feeling a lot happier still feel a little nervous and worried, but I'm sure that those feelings will go once i see bub on the ultrasound screen.

thank you so very much for all the well wishes from last night's blog it was a wonderful pick me thank you.

as soon as i get home from the ultrasound I'll put a pic up for you all to see.

i have not been feeling well over the last week. I've been feeling very tired.

at first i felt that this was to do with the car acco that we had last Saturday where some idiots went up the rear end of our car, my hubby has really bad whip lash because of it and has been in a foam neck brace and off work all of last week and this weekend just gone.

we had to go to the doctors to get the C.T scan results, while i was there with him i was talking to my doctor and telling him how i had been feeling in the last week, he started asking me how i had been since the miscarriage after the IVF, i said that i had been fine hubby then added up and down with my moods, my doctor just laughed.

he then went on to ask me if i had had my period as yet after the miscarriage, i said no and was just about to ask him about that, he then said to me that he would like to do a pregnancy test just to rule it out.

well i don't think any of us were expecting to see a positive result, i then asked him to do another one just to make sure, and that one also came up very positive. he then sent me off for blood tests to make sure with them also i get the results of them back tomorrow, I'm also booked in for an ultrasound on this Thursday to check the dates.

my GP rang me today to say that he had spoken to my GYN / OB to ask him about the miscarriage and to make sure that there was a small chance that the baby might be from the IVF or not.  my OB then told him that he felt that there was no chance that a baby could have surived the amount of blood that i had lost at the time and that the uterus lining was to thin for a baby also.

so now I'm waiting for the ultrasound this Thursday to see just how many weeks i am, my GP feels that i'm only 5 weeks, so for the time been I'm working on that.

i feel really worried scared nervous excited all in one, i want to get super excited but at the same time i don't, i have all these thoughts flying around in my head, and all these feelings in my tummy.

i guess once i see the little one on the ultrasound and also have it confirmed by the blood tests i'll start to feel better about it all.
