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!

I got a call from my nurse. My hCG count was at 43 yesterday. That definitely explains the faint lines. Even though I will have my next blood draw tomorrow, I won't know until Monday what the result is. I am trying to stay calm, though. Hopefully it'll be up around 100 tomorrow!!
