I had the fingerstick portion done last week, so I could get the results yesterday. However, they lost the blood work.

I had this vision in my mind that the pregnancy test would be immediate--of course that's ridiculous. Anyway, now I wait for the results... <BR> <BR> On a positive note, I really like my doctor. My regular doctor does not take high risk pregnanci...
