Beta #1....is 19!

I cannot believe that I am posting this. Yesterday day morning was my scheduled pregnancy blood test at the office. It was only 11dpo, which I thought was kinda early. But I trust my doctor to do what is best for me.

Anyway, I took a hpt before heading out the door. And it was a BFN. But off I went anyway. I really had a good feeling about this cycle, although I had only had minor cramping, no nausea, and no spotting (I always read about people spotting before getting their BFP - but only 20% do.)

At the Dr's office, the nurse had a hard time getting blood from my veins, no surprise there, and I felt pretty queasy. When I got home I really hoped to get a happy call from my otherwise surly nurse. Meanwhile I am looking at this bloated belly, thinking: "if this isn't it, I really need to get this bloated belly under control with some serious ab workout...

... But numbers came back, and I am pregnant. Finally!! It is still very early and I go in for 2nd beta on Monday, but for now I will celebrate my beta of 19 and progesterone of 78!!
