ok here's where it stands right now. I have gotten BFP's for 4 days in a row now, I am officially 12DPO today. the tests have gotten progressively darker, so I know my HCG is going up. Tuesday (10DPO) I had bloodwork done, and my test was negative, but I had the nurse check the numbers for me. My HCG was at 10, which is completely in the normal range for someone at 10DPO. because it was so low, she was very hesitant to tell me I was pregnant. I went back in for bloodwork again today, 48 hours later, and as long as there's an increase, even if it's a small one, she will call it positive. Judging by the HPT I took this morning, it's not going to be an issue. it was blatantly positive. I took 3 BFP's I had from home and both nurses said they were definitely positive. I left my camera at my mom's house yesterday, so I'll post the pics in an update tonight or tomorrow.
so that's where we are right now. tomorrow morning I will get the results and be able to actually start my prenatal care. my dr is really great about ultrasounds, so I'm going to ask to get one pretty quickly. around 10 weeks it actually starts to look like a baby on ultrasound so I'm gonna try for 10-11 weeks. we'll see though.
ok so that's where I am. very obvious BFP on HPT this morning, and bloodwork results tomorrow morning. which I am not going to call for unless I haven't heard from her by 9:00! I'll post this BFP's as soon as I can!
