The nurse called while I was trying to get Syd down for her nap. She left me a message that said, "I got your labs back. It doesn't look bad but I think we need to start the progesterone." She called 30 mins. before they all left the office to take their hour-and-a-half lunch break.
They are out on lunch until 1:30. I have been waiting 16 minutes since I got the message and it already feels like an eternity. This week has sucked. I found out one of my teen girls is pregnant, another kid I used to work with in Texas got thrown in jail last night, my daughter has not napped in two days and my husband and I have been fighting for the last 20 hours.
I hate this. This is bullshit. I am sitting here shaking wondering what in the hell I'm supposed to do with myself for the next (now) 40 mins. Will they want me to come in today? Will it make any difference? Will I have a baby? Will I have a miscarriage? What is going to happen?

I am sure you have answers by now, so I hope that they got you in and answered your questions.
Hang in there! I'm sorry about the kids you work with, I know it is frustrating for you.
I am also sorry you are fighting with your husband. Hang in there!

Agree with Emily - if the beta had been lower or stagnant the tone would have been completely different.
Progesterone isn't BAD. It's sort of CYA - can't hurt, might help. Betas can be all over the map at this early point.
Still, SO DOUCHEY to leave that message and then go to Chik-fil-a for a sammy.

Praying for you, Manda. I think if it had been BAD, she wouldn't have left that kind of message. She would have said, "Call the office." So I am keeping the faith.

That waiting is the WORST PUNISHMENT EVER. I'm praying for you right now and that little life inside you, and I hope beyond hope that the nurse has some plan.
