Jessica, The only blood test I had was at about 2 1/2 weeks post-conception, and I've requested a copy of all the tests that were run, but haven't received it yet. I haven't had another blood test to compare any figures. Yes, the waiting is driving me nuts, too! I don't understand why my OB recommended waiting TWO weeks before another ultrasound is performed. I've prepared myself for the worst since everything I've been disovering on the Internet paints our situation as pretty "bleak". I've been sick with three severe colds ever since we conceived in December and this week I've started nausea (I'm wondering if it's "morning sickness"). Is this your first pregnancy? It's my first and I'm just anxious to begin the next step and start over again, but unfortunately I'll have to wait until the 11th (for the next ultrasound) unless nature takes it's course and I miscarry before then! It's been nice connecting with someone else who's experiencing the same exact hardship as I, although I'm so very sorry that you're going through all this. (I've been glued to the Internet, too!) My thoughts are with you as well.
