Everything looks good. My doctor recommends waiting it out which means I go for a blood test every Thursday till my HCG is zero. She thinks it could take 2-3 weeks but I'll get there. My HCG is currently 855. It was 1844 on 7/6 so it is going down. I'm really hoping that everything is back to normal by August so maybe in September, I can do another transfer. I've also decided to move towards getting an insulin pump. I'm not saying the nurse I spoke with is right but she said my high blood sugar could have caused a miscarriage. I wasn't that high. I don't think I even hit 200. She said even 150 could cause it. Maybe a pump will give me more control and since I hit my out of pocket max, it shouldn't cost me anything.

Finally being cared for...
Well, after countless calls, messages left, no returned phone calls, I finally got a call that my doctor wanted to see me today. Somehow I thought that would happen. She didn't get the full story from the nurse (surprise) and thought I was going to be making an appointment. Apparently, the only information my doctor got was the letter from my RE. Nothing about me calling. The nurse is the one who requested the letter from my doctor. Anyway, I explained everything that was going on. She gave me an exam, pregnancy urine test which came back positive, blood test to see if my HCG is going down and an ultrasound and a hug. Hopefully, I'll find out everything tomorrow. She said if HCG is going down and uterus looks almost clear then I could take a medication called Cytotec that would cause contractions and expel what's left. Otherwise, I'll have to have a D&C to take care of this. I'm so ready to move on. And I'm so glad I have the doctor I have.
