Pregnant PCOSers - how often do your docs run labs?From: jodi (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sun, 30 Mar 2003 20:15:58 -0600 (CST)
I'm not sure if this is more fitting on the pregnancy board or the PCOS board, maybe I should try both... Anyway I discovered last week that I'm pregnant :-) and have been to the doctor's just once. I'm a little nervous that they don't seem too concerned about my PCOS. When they drew blood, I asked if my progesterone would be checked, and they said no, so I asked if it could be, since I know a lot of women with PCOS miscarry due to low progesterone. So the results of my blood work looked good, my progesterone was 27, the normal range being 11-41 (I think?) and my hcg was 10,000, which the nurse said "made them very happy." I was about a little over five weeks when the tests were run. But I still can't relax. For one thing, I was on birth control pills when I got pregnant... I asked if that could affect the progesterone reading, and the nurse said she didn't know for sure, but she didn't think the blood work would read the BCP progesterone component the same as natural progesterone. Anyone hear differently? I guess I won't have any more blood work done until I go back to the doctors, which makes me very nervous. Maybe they think that if I got pregnant without trying, I'm not that bad off? I'm wondering if I should switch to a different OB/GYN, or else go back to my RE? Other PCOSers who are pregnant, how often are you seeing your docs and having blood work done? - jodi
