Went to the docs this morning post blood test results from Monday. When I had the test on Monday I was 5w3d.
Negative for syphillis, chlamydia, HIV etc! (der!!), no infections of any kind or nasties to speak of. My haemaglobin was perfect and iron levels spot on. My HCG level was 13631, which was nice to see! Pretty much where it should be from what I can see on the internet! Gotta love Dr Google!
Confirmed my blood group was a+, which I already knew from past experience and from being a blood donor.
The only fly in the ointment was that my kidney function was borderline and my sodium and electrolytes were very low. In the doctor's words my sodium levels were "that of an old person's"!!! She said it MAY be because I drink so much water, but I don't really add salt to any of my food. Only the past week or so have I started to cook with salt that has iodine in it. She told me there was no need to be so careful and that I can afford to load up on the salt (within reason, of course) and that I'll need to have another kidney function test in a month. I've always had some problems with kidney function, so no doubt it's jsut something they will need to continue monitoring.
I also need to have a 12 week scan, as this is classed as a high-risk pregnancy, based on the history with having twins at 6 months. Nothing to do with my age or any other factors. But, that's exciting cause it means I get to see bub again in only 6 weeks!!
I also asked her about the kitten I found and the risk of toxoplasmosis. She said as ong as I washed my hands and it didn't scratch me to draw blood and didn't basically go eating it's poop, then I should be ok. If I'm worried again in the next blood test, she said they could check but she was pretty sure it would be ok. I think I'll still get them to check later on, cause if it's as simple as having a blood test, it would do my stress levels a great deal of good!!!
Well, a good news morning really. Pity I have to be at work now! Sooooo not wanting to be here- can see Easter so close, yet so far!!
Am really tired this past week and struggling to even get out of bed in the morning! Have been late to work all week, but I figure better late than never! So far, no MS so that's good. Really noticing smells alot more now and my BB's are pretty tender all of the day. I noticed the other night that I could hardly swallow lamb chops that DP cooked (he NEVER cooks and now I've hurt his feelings by gagging on his creation!!), so looks like lamb is going to be a no-no food for me! BUGGER!!!!!
Not really feeling like much for tea most nights to be honest. Last night made DP roast beef but I had a bowl of Cheerios! Just like being a teenager all over again!!
Well, better run as I'm off to another work seminar. This post has been all over the place, but did it in a rush before I had to run off and didn't want to forget anything! See you next time!!!
