July 16, 2019 I got my BFP emailed doctor and she had be go in for a follow up HCG testing.

July 16, 2019 HCG levels were 60, doctor say looks very early and said let’s check in two days to see if they have double.

July 19, 2019 HCG levels were 221, doctor says looks great, still very early let’s do one more testing one week from today.

July 26, 2019 I went in early morning to get blood drawn, then waited all day to hear my results only to have my heart broken. Doctor informed me my levels had gone back down to negative 1. Meaning I had a chemical pregnant and would soon pass.

July 31, 2019 days had passed at this point and I made peace with the news. However I couldn’t quite shake the feeling of nausea and tiredness. So I grab three different pregnant test and they all showed within seconds of a positive test. All dark and digital responses. Here I thought from the things I’ve read online usually the test with no longer show positive but this wasn’t the case. So I emailed the doctor with my gut feeling to hear her thoughts. She couldn’t believe my test was still showing positive and order that I go and get blood drawn once more. I drove to Kaiser the same night anxiously.

August 2, 2019 I receive and email stating something happened she couldn’t explain, and that it was good news and she’d call me once out of delivery. She called and share she’d try to research how such a thing could happen but my HCG levels have now increased from negative 1 to 34,000. 😳 I couldn’t believe it and asked her what happened. I knew something was off. Turns out she thinks my blood work was mixed up with another patients.

August 6, 2019 I got a special ultrasound appointment so that they could check and see if I in fact have a viable pregnancy. Doctor email and said she could see a small embryo with a low heart beat, we’d check one week from that day or so.

August 14, 2019 I went in to see my doctor today and boy was I nervous, I still at this point was in shock. We jump straight into the ultrasound and she brings another pair of eyes in the room. Now I’m even more nervous, but I see my little bean and heat a strong heart beat at 167bpm.💕 due March 30, 2019.

Doctor is super apologetic about the whole mix up, and asked if anyone in the executive office has contacted me and I’m just happy I followed my gut and was my advocate. All I can do is pray that baby stays strong and that I never forget this experience. I know this may not be the case for everyone but I wanted to share my experience. Hubbie and I are very happy with the news, we loss back in 2016 at 6 weeks and have a 9 year old currently.

Update: Thank you all for thoughts and comments. I’m currently 13 weeks in this photo, now 16weeks💕👶🏽
