blood test

It's confirmed--bun in the oven. Or buns?

My doctor took a look at my well-kept chart, and couldn't dispute that I ovulated on Feb 13th. OPKs and temps said so. So he was a little surprised that I had my first +HPT at 11DPO, and that it wasn't a "is that positive? it's faint, but I think it's there...I better check again tomorrow" test..it was a "no question. that's a line" test. and on a cheap-o dollar store pregnancy test at that, which suggests that my hCG level was >50 mUI/mL at 11DPO. kind of high.

I think his real concern was making sure that it wasn't an ectopic pregnancy that was further along than I thought...getting pregnant in January, having a "period", so never doing a pregnancy test, and now sitting at 7 wks ectopic.

so he did the blood work, and at 13 DPO my hCG is 264. Not too high, but higher than normal for how far along I am.

It might be twins.

We have an ultrasound in two weeks to confirm the number and position of the embryo(s).

KYFX.

my girls respond to cold hard cash

Turns out all my ovaries needed to get moving was for me to spend $400 on fertility drugs. Not to actually use the drugs mind you, just to shell out the cash.
I bought the injectibles and was waiting until my January travel was over to start them...when I ovulated on my own. And then I did it again.
So now I'm in the TWW, fingers crossed, temping and waiting to POAS. Just like a normal woman who ovulates. It's kind of nice.
