Not again...

My weight shot back up and my girth increased, so I called the RE. They told me to go ahead and come in that day. They said there was definitely a re-accumulation of fluid, and there was a chance they'd have to drain it again, but they'd like to avoid that if they could (yeah, me too!). They also drew a 2nd beta. It came back at 100. Doubling time? 72 hours. The outer-outskirts of normal. Great. This thing is over before it started.

Monday, I went back to work (against Dr. T's orders). Around 11 a.m., I went into the bathroom and thought that my incision was bleeding everywhere b/c my shirt was soaked. Luckily, it was black so no one noticed. But thankfully, it wasn't blood, it was my old friend the straw-colored fluid - the same stuff they just drained 4 days before. I called the RE, and again they had me come in. They ended up stitching the incision closed and this time ordered (didn't advise) me to stay home and off my feet until at least Wednesday. So I went straight home and happily went to bed. Are we noticing a pattern here? I love sleep. :) However, I did go to school, b/c I didn't have any absences left. :( That was awful, then again it always is.

Then, Tuesday, I was back to the RE again. I think they were really getting sick of me. This time it was for my 3rd beta. Again, I was in bed all day until I had to get up for school. RE called at 5 p.m. to tell me that there was a mix-up with the lab and they didn't run my beta. !! The nurse said that they should have it in an hour and they would call as soon as they got it. Finally, right before I was about to go to class they called. 193! So it doubled in 48 hours; Dr. W seemed pleased, and told me to call the next day and schedule an u/s for 2 weeks out. Whew! Still PG. For now.
