What is lupus (SLE)?
Imagine your immune system getting over-active and instead of protecting you, it attacks you. There are good days, bad days and really bad days. You'll never know.

Beta HCG : 70 U/L

Sample Collected : 15/9/11

Quantitative H.C.G  - 70 U/L
*Consistent with pregnancy*

Yay? Or not?

Roughly knowing the 'conception' date puts me about 22 days or roughly 3 weeks gestation on 15/09/11 and reference range for 2-3 weeks 100-1,000.

Oh boy, this is not looking good.

Again?

Again?
I'm not sure what's going on with me.
I've been getting faint lines on UPT since 31-Aug-2011, today is 19-September-2011!!!

Anyway, last Wednesday, I was at the hospital for my routine blood test. I hoped to get pass the nurse to see the doctor. As expected, nurse did an UPT and it was negative.... so, no see doctor.
I hate hospital UPT, the last I had, first reported negative, then faint positive even though my beta HCG was at 180 something... I HATE HOSPITAL UPT!

%Q###$^#$^^@^%%#

Other than feeling my boobs getting bigger (hehehe ...), not much of pregnancy symptoms.
Boobs still, it could be that they are bigger because I'm now much fatter.

Also, I noticed light spotting. Nothing needing a pad ... just 'spots'.

I really don't know la ...
After two short-lived joy previously, I am trying very hard not to be hopeful ...
I've done a beta HCG test at a private clinic last Thursday, supposedly getting my result today but doc hasn't called!!! $#%@#$%#^$%^$%$%@

The lines could also be coming from leftover HCG still floating in my system after my miscarriage....
BUT, I seriously remembered taking one or two UPT after 16/8 ultrasound (doc couldn't find anything then and it was deemed 'complete miscarriage') strips were stark white, only one line!

Or is it something else? Oooooooo Twilight zone...

So, I don't know la ...

Tooth / Gum ??? Ache

Woke up at 12 something midnight as my tooth / gum was aching.
I took one big Panadol Actifast.... didn't work...
Gargled / Swirled around with Listerine ... didn't work....
Flossed ... didn't work ...

Then I remembered, 'warm salt water'!!
Swirl with warm salt water!

Did the trick - back on bed at 3.00 am.

Trying to be very gentle with 'tooth / gum' today.
