now this is what I call a line and docs appointment




So I had my visit with my OB today.  He did a blood draw and ordered to have my beta, progesterone, TSH and prolactin levels checked.  I should be able to get those results by Wed.  I just have to call the nurse.  The one thing he didn't do was give me a slip for a repeat beta.  He said with all the extra precaution we're taking, if the numbers aren't rising properly, there was nothing more that we could do.  He also adjusted my progesterone script.  I have to take a 100mg pill twice a day.  I also stocked up on prenatals, extra folic acid and baby aspirin.  I'm going to keep this sticky bun sticky if it's the last thing I do! 

He also gave me a script for an ultrasound to do next week after I hit 5 weeks on Saturday. I'll probably schedule it as late in the week as possible, probably Friday.  It's going to be hard because of school, work, and little mans birthday, but I'll get it done.  From there I follow up with him on the 12th, and that's when he's going to do another blood draw.  I'll also probably see him two weeks after that so I can get more progesterone if needed. 
I finally got my hands on my ICs this morning.  So of course I had to test since this mornings dollar store test wasn't good enough for me with FMU...and I got a fucking awesome line at 10AM with like 3rd mornings urine.  Now, I don't know if my FMU sucks or if it was the dollar store tests that suck.  Maybe I could have avoided the worry if I had gotten my hands on the ICs on Wed. when they were delivered after I left work. 

Picture time!!!!!

15/16 DPO lovely lovely line
Progression (including this morning FMU)

I might still test a bit more but I'm not going to go crazy about it.  I feel pretty good about this sticky bun.
