worrying news and FINALLY some good news!

After not hearing from my doctor, I assumed everything was fine. Yesterday I checked my phone after school and saw that I had a missed call from the doctor's office, and when I returned it they said that although my progesterone levels were in the "normal" range, Dr. Moss wanted to put me on progesterone supplements until I was 12 weeks along just to help support the pregnancy. Originally they said the word "suppositories" which made me go "eww", but after finding out I don't live in Murfreesboro, they decided that the pills would be fine. Thank God!

As I always do, I googled "low progesterone" and found that it's usually prescribed for women with a history of miscarriages, which worried me slightly, but also made me confident that this would help avoid a miscarriage.

The good news--I randomly ran into Dr. Moss at school today (it was Visitors' Day so I assume she was here for a parent panel or something), and I was able to stop and talk to her for a little bit about everything. She seemed surprised that I didn't get an ultrasound at my first visit, but remained positive about everything (as I'm sure she's trained to do). She did ask me if I was scheduled for a new OB appointment, which was the perfect opportunity for me to ask her if I could see her for that appointment instead of another NP. She said that she would take care of it and make sure I was rescheduled with her, and wouldn't you know it, a few hours later I get a call from her office telling me when my new appointment is! I'm excited because the appointment is 4 days earlier AND it's with my doctor. Finally some reassuring news--and it's only 3 weeks away! I simply cannot wait to be 12 weeks + and leave all of these worries behind!
