The complete lack of reliability of Medical science

After my scattered results with the pee tests I asked the doctor to send me for a blood test. The results were in today. Here's the part I love. When I called to ffind out the results the receptionist at my Doctor's office said this "Well your value is 915" So I asked what does that mean? She asks the doc in the background " He says you are probably pregnant". Probably! Probably? Well I already knew I was probably pregnant. Taking 20 or so tests revealed that possibility! So then I asked if I needed to make another appointment.You know, for my Probable pregnancy. And she told me that they wouldn't need to see me for another 4 weeks! Well, I should have known to expect that. With my first pregnancy they didn't even have me come in to confirm it. They just booked me for an appointment near the end of my first trimester.

In other news, I'm dealing a whole lot better with being pregnant. I finally told my parents and I was dreading the sound of disapointment in my Father's voice but all he said was " some people will do anything to get out of losing weight." Beyond that he was very supportive and happy. I asked the Doctor about continuing to work out and she gave me the go ahead. She did ask me to wean Monk and that happened with very little fuss. She told me to keep eating well and exercising and she'd like to see me not gain any weight in the first trimester. I think that's a goal I can stick to.

Here goes nothing.
