finally some good news

Yes, beta was 154 yesterday and I do a repeat tomorrow.   Yesterday, when I mentioned to nurse my concern about P4, she said she'd call the lab to have them run E2 & P4 tests on the blood that was collected for my beta.  Hmm, ms. curiosity thought they'd dispose of the blood right after the test but I guess they keep it awhile.  Hoping the P4 goes up but nurse said as long as it's above 20, they're fine with it.  So I'll hear from them again late tomorrow afternoon.  And now, the busy part...filling out the maternity packet for work and the disability paper work since I can't go back to flying til June.  I'll miss not working but I'm not risking anything and we do such heavy lifting on the job.  Hoping for good numbers on Wed.

Keep us posted on your e2 and p4. 154 sounds very good to me though. What do you do, are you a pilot?

I\'m a flight attendant...love my job but wish it paid more :-) Great for working moms b/c you have so much time off. E2 went down to 111 and P4 went up to 61. That made me happy (P4). Asked nurse about E2 & she said it\'s normal for it to go down. No more b/w for me for awhile!!!
