Today is 12dpt and for it to be considered a healthy pregnancy, we are looking for the HCG levels from Saturday, to at least double. So I'm hoping for a solid 300🤞🏼.
My appointment was at 10:45...it was the same phlebotomist from Saturday, who remembered me and my veins😂. She greets me and immediately says okay which one are we going with today? I decide we better do the right one, since my left was stabbed on Saturday. She says okay, it will be quick since your veins are awesome. (I'm so glad I can be accommodating😜). She did her thing, a quick 2 minutes and I was done.
I didn't have a solid breakfast this morning, so I decided grabbing some In-N-Out was in order for lunch. I ordered my usual grilled cheese with no tomato, add raw chopped onion, and sub ketchup and mustard instead of the spread...with some light well fries. (Fries have to be crunchy or its over🤪!)
Everything comes out great, my grilled cheese completely hits the spot and I take one bite of a fry and it's a no. I didn't feel nauseous, it was just...nope. 😂 Hated wasting food, but I was by myself and there was no way they were going to be consumed. 😐 Can't really explain it but I remember having an aversion to french fries when I was pregnant with my first child, Brooklyn also.
So not sure if this is going to be a permanent thing... because with Brooklyn, it was the entire 9 months. I remember the smell of McDonald's french fries would make me ill. 😭🤢 I can do without the nausea...so if this is all I get, it's going to be a breeze! 🤞🏼😁🙏🏼
No call by 4pm, so I message the clinic...like I had to on Saturday. (Ugh.) I ask if my levels have been received yet...33 minutes later the clinic calls me. The woman on the phone lets me know that my levels came back at 408.4! She said that is really good and she would like to schedule me for a third HCG test on Wednesday at 9AM.
I end the call and then notice that while I was on the phone, I also received a message from the clinic telling me about my HCG levels and scheduling me for an 11:15 draw.

| Yay for a great HCG result...Boo for being scheduled for two appointments 😂 |
In either case here's where we are:
10dpt HCG-146.8
12dpt HCG-408.4
14dpt HCG... TBD 9/27 AM (Hoping at least 850🤞🏼🙏🏼)
I'm considered 4 weeks 3 days pregnant today, even though it's only been 12 days technically. We still don't know if both babies stuck or if it's only one. HCG isn't telling that way unfortunately. (From what I read, at around 5w5d they will schedule an ultrasound, which should tell us how many tenants I have growing, but nothing has been scheduled yet...perhaps after this next blood draw on Wednesday?🤞🏼)
The baby or babies seem to be getting comfortable and liking the "womb" so far😁🥳! (The last 6 tenants had to be evicted by induction...so I'm hopeful that the little one or ones in there now, end up feeling the same!) I'm still on levothyroxine once a day, two tabs of estrogen, three times daily, and my evening PIO shots.
My tooshie has become pretty numb on both sides, which kind of makes it easier for me. I can't really feel the shot or the oil as it's injected. I don't think it makes it easier on Phil unfortunately, who still feels bad before and after every shot.🥲 The shots will continue until I'm about 12 weeks gestation, from what I understand. So...we have about 8 weeks to go! 🥲😜🥳
