First Dr appt today

So today was my pregnancy confirmation appointment. The HPT they had me take at the office came back a faint positive, but that's to be expected because it wasn't FMU and technically AF wasn't due until today, so I'm still pretty early. They drew some blood to find out my hCG numbers, then I'm going back again Friday to draw again. The Dr wants to find out how fast my numbers are increasing so he knows when to schedule my first ultrasound. Although I was a little worried at him wanting to check my numbers, he didn't seem the least bit concerned. In fact, he walked into the exam room and said, "Congratulations!" So, now I just hold out until Monday (and try not to buy a bunch of HPT's just to make sure the line is getting darker) to find out from the Dr. Fun fun!

That's so cool. You know, I totally would buy a bunch of $ tests and keep POAS. It'll be therapy for all those months of BFN's, hehe.

    Oh it is definitely darker! Very noticeable difference, especially in the pic that you tore the test apart! :) You have every right to be obsessed... as you know, that is our RIGHT being a mother and all. Try to relax. I bet that once you have the results of the HCG test you will feel a ton better. Best wishes to you and your family!!!

    I would say it's darker. You don't really get those super dark lines until you're pretty late.

    I think it's a BFP either way.
