My RE had me come in for blood work. They'll call this afternoon with the results. I hope it all comes back ok!

My regular OB said she won't see me, I have to go to the High Risk OB. When I called them, they set up my first appointment for Feb. 12. Yikes! I'll be 7 1/2 weeks! I wish I could get in earlier, but I guess there really isn't that much they can do.

Congrats Rebecca! I thought we were on same timings but obv not. for your little bean. Sorry you have to wait so long for app and breaks my heart to hear your story. Praying this is it for you have.

Hi everyone! I recognize a lot of you, but lots more new faces. Sorry I've been MIA for awhile - we bought a new house in November, then with the holidays and everything - we decided to just take our minds off it and come back to the next step (injectables) sometime in the spring.

So....I could not have been more shocked than the BFP I got this morning....crying, laughing, shaking, all at once. After 29 months of this nonsense (started trying on our 3rd anniversary 8/2011 - Clomid cycles, every test under the sun, two failed IUIs)...I still can't believe it. I am just now praying everything goes okay. Please stick, little one!!!

This one (posted in the gallery, http://www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test-gallery/image.php?galleryid=221244) was actually the 3rd test I took....the first one I took with FMU was positive, but realized after the fact it was expired....so took an FRER when I got to work, instantly positive - and JUST to be sure, I went to the store and got a digital one.

I'm planning on telling DH tonight....I can't wait. We've tried so long that it still doesn't seem real. The two I've taken at work, I've wrapped in paper towels and stuck down in a zipper compartment in my purse, and I just keep taking them out to look at them.

Please, ladies, if you're so inclined, say a quick extra prayer upwards that this all goes well. Congrats to all with the BFPs for September babies (my EDD by my count is 9/22), and don't lose hope, those of you trying for awhile.

Love to all!

nsking - You're only a few days ahead of me! I will certainly pray for you.

My RE called back. It scared me to death they would call so quickly, but it was all good.

HCG - 230
Progesterone - 19

I have to go back next Tuesday for another check. They want to see the HCG around 900 then. Ultrasound will be around 1/31, then weekly after that. They may continue to do blood draws as well, but will play it by ear.

Well ladies, I broke down and showed DH the 2 's.

He looked at them and didn't believe they were mine..lol

He said how early can you tell you are pregnant? I told him a few days before your missed period.

He's in shock and can't believe it since we only had one BD session.

He patted his junk and said, "My guys do work!"
All I could do was smile.

He wants me to take another test so he can see it for himself. I honestly can't believe that I've got such strong marks at just 11dpo and even 10dpo on yesterday's test.

We aren't going to tell anyone until we get a confirmation from the doctor. I will have to schedule an appointment around DH's work schedule so he can go with me but I am shooting for February 14th since I will be between the 6-8 week mark that my GYN/OB generally sees new patients who are pregnant.

nsking!! - OMG! Congrats!! My EDD is 9/23/2014!! I remember you, my dear. Praying for a sticky bean!!

AFM - My appt is this afternoon, 3PM AZ time. I'll post afterward.

Here is a link to my internet cheapie progression:

I'm all out of tests, now. Ha!

rebecca - thank you! MyLuckyDuck, you too! How did the appt go?

AFM, I am sitting here about to shake out of my skin waiting for DH to FINALLY get home....I got him a card and an Ohio State onesie with all (four...lol) tests I've taken today....I am trying to guess at his reaction and I just can't.

Called my RE first thing this morning and they sent me for bloodwork check - as quickly as the tests turned + today I would have to hope that all looks good. I know the one brand test I used was a 25-threshold, so that's good news, right?! Won't hear back until Monday morning, then she said they will send me probably again that day and then probably Thursday just to be sure levels are progressing. After that I will go in at around 7 weeks for an ultrasound. Just praying for the little bean to stick, stick, stick!

The bad news is that I've been fighting some sort of cold/headache/cough nonsense all week and it has now settled in my chest. Just trying to fight through it b/c I am NOT risking anything happening by taking OTC meds!

I always talk at work about how fast time goes....now it seems like the next 35ish weeks are stretched out ahead of me endlessly. Just enjoy them, right?!

Congrats nsking!!

Took another test this evening to show DH it's really my test and my results.
Sure enough it's showing a at 5:30 in the evening.
DH said that I'm definitely pregnant after seeing all 3 tests...lol

I have two CVS Early Result tests from today (11dpo)
One from 7 am and one from 5:30 pm

It's way too early (3weeks and 4days) to announce anything. Praying I can wait for my confirmation appointment and 1st ultrasound before blabbing my mouth to everyone.

Hello, ladies!! It's official. I'm 4w3d and due 9/23/14!! My next appointment is Feb 3rd at 6w6d for an ultrasound and indepth prenatal appointment. They only did urine today. She said they typically don't do bloods unless there's a history of losses.

We're so excited!! Please pray for a sticky, sticky bean!!

rebecca - congrats again :) blood work sounds good! also hope the high risk OB is good.

nsking - awesome, congrats!!!! praying for a sticky bean!!! this is our 16th cycle trying and clomid is next, really hoping we're lucky this cycle that we won't need it!

gds - your husband is a hoot!! :)
