HCG: “To Be Or Not To Be” - Convinced It's A Girl

As the days went by, my hypochondriasis worsened. Due to the persistent lower left abdominal “twinge” and low left intermittent back discomfort, by Monday I was convinced that we were dealing with an “ectopic” pregnancy. After some convincing, I contacted my GYN immediately. They were wonderful, sent me to the lab the same night for a confirmatory pregnancy test by checking my Quantitative HCG Levels AND scheduled me for an OB Ultrasound the next morning! It turns out my Quant HCG levels were right AHEAD of target at 5,446 mIU/ml which would date me at about 5-6 week PREGGO! However, I know that I am 4weeks and 3days  And I would be lying if I did not disclose to you that I was then concerned about a potential “molar” pregnancy due to what I considered to be inappropriately high HCG levels for my mere 4 weeks and 3 days  Anywho, the OB Ultrasound took about an hour. Although the ultrasound sonographer would not disclose EVERYTHING, I did see the gestational sac (Ray was out-of-town), and my “little” problem, turned out to be a 3.5cm CORPUS LUTEUM CYST ON MY LEFT OVARY! http://www.drspock.com/article/0,1510,5335,00.html
Which is not all that uncommon…”Whew”! And will probably disappear by the end of the 1st Trimester…”Whew”! I’m really not CRAZY! Well, that’s debatable…
So in short, due to my early onset of symptoms, aggressive changes, and whirlwind of events, Ray & I are CONVINCED “IT’S A GIRL” We would love to know what your thoughts are on the sex…cast your vote on the poll on the page!
