Great news from Dr Naiker today! All of my blood screens are perfect :)
HCG: 553 (norm is between 9 and 750 at this stage)
Blood sugar: 4.9 (perfect)
Kidney function is clear, which means there are no infections lurking like last time. And best of all, clotting factor is bang on. The last gyny we saw thought that my clotting fact might have been reduced and that was causing our problems. She put me on a Mega B Complex and Vitamin D supplements in February to try and get it under control, so it looks like it might have worked!
Dr Naiker has referred us straight through to the Antenatal Clinic (usually this happens at about 12 weeks) so we will be in the care of the obstetrics team from as early as next week. Hopefully that means that they can pick up any issues straight away and I won't be left carrying a dead baby for 5 weeks before anyone notices anything.
Blood pressure was 120/70 on Thursday, and 120/80 today so that's good too.
Back to Dr Naiker on the 25th to check in after the scan, and check how I'm doing after coming of the antidepressants.
I think I feel good about this whole thing.... don't want to jinx it though....
