First ultrasound (6 weeks) will be Monday 10/20 at 8am. Eeeeeek!

I had a mild case of "vasovagal syncope" last night while I was giving myself a hep.arin injection. Thank goodness hubby was home to catch me and pull the needle out. He said I dropped like a brick. Scary! The PA at hemo's office said it's fairly common and that I should lie down while doing the shots from now on. Sounds like I need to invest in a fainting couch. (Think they would let me write that off as a medical device?!)

That sounds scary!!
wow...sounds a little scary, but glad you are okay now :) Really excited for Monday! Whoo hoo!!
I don't know what vasovagal syncope is. Did you faint? Holy goodness, that's scary! You definately need to invest in a faiting couch (oh, and a fan to hold in your hand (a 'la scarlett o'hara) so you can really be prepared to faint! (although I definately hope this doesn't happen again!). Yikes!
I'm glad you are okay, but I have to admit I did chuckle, thinking of the whole scenario in my head. lad hubby was there to help you! Congrats on those high beta numbers. YEAH!
Dude! I *cannot* believe you've been giving yourself shots standing up! I do it in bed, because I do get that woozy feeling sometimes. Never passed out though! lol
My doc prescribed Prometri.um 2x a day (they are yellow pills) to be used vaginally instead of orally. Not sure whether that would get more progest.erone into your system than the Cri.none, but just a thought. Also, my doc said any level over 20 was fine, so as long as you're not continuing your decline, seems like you'll be fine.
I can't wait to see your u/s pics on Monday!!!!
