16 dpo = 4 weeks (2 days)

Went to the doctor. She isn't OBGYN, just a regular GYN. She was the one who I went to a couple of months ago for my annual and PAP. I thought she was OB but she wasn't. She said to come back once I get my BFP and she will refer me to someone.

So I went back. First of all, the nurse asked for my LMP and said I was 4 weeks 1 day today. I told her that I temp and that I Oed a day earlier than I would if I had a PERFECT 28 day cycle with 14 days Luteal phase. But she didn't care. And than she changed her mind and said I was actually 4 weeks even! I am not really sure how she got that conclusion because I have exactly the same pregnancy wheel and with the "default settings" it says 4 weeks 1 day. Whatever. I know I am 4w2d.

The doctor came in with a big smile of her face; she is such a nice woman. She examined me and said I felt soft, which is a sign of pregnancy. She sent me for weekly blood work until my Hcg reaches 2000, and then I should get an u/s. She said no sushi, no soft cheeses, and no hair dying(! what am I going to do?! My roots are already showing!). No chemical hair removal too; I didn't even dare to ask for laser. I have a groupon for 6 rounds of laser for $120 and was planning to use it this fall. I think it will expire by the time the baby is born. But let's not get ahead of ourselves here.

the unspeakable aka 2ww is over!

I was feeling uneasy last night when I was getting ready for bed. Next morning's temperature was going to tell me so much! It will probably fall dramatically, and my hopes will follow soon after.

I awoke to the much welcomed sound of alarm clock, 7 AM couldn't come soon enough! Bit on the thermometer. 10 seconds, 20, 30, 59, beep beep beep! 97.98F. Hmmm, not quite over 98, which would be a good sign, but not quite as low as 97. Bathroom. Hmmmm, no blood, no spotting, not even right on the cervix. Well, AF is probably on its way and it's just a matter of hours before she shows up. But not even tiny little pink drop, not even after a series of Kegels? Well, I do have two HPTs... Maybe I will try one only... No, I'll just wait till tomorrow. Let's not waste the test. OK, I'll try the cheap one, Clear Blue.

Pee in a cup, get the test, open it, dip it, and wait. Wait for 3 minutes. 30 seconds, 60 seconds, 90 seconds... wait, there is a line! OMG, there is a very strong, big fat vertical blue line! Calm down, blue ink tests tend to give false positives! Get the FRER, the digital! Open the test, dip it, and wait. Wait for 3 minutes. 30 seconds, 60 seconds, 90 seconds, nothing. 2 minutes, 3 minutes, nothing. Is the test broken? Oh no, now I'm not going to know! Wait... OMG, there it is! PREGNANT+!

14 dpo and such a fast clear line? What if it's another molar?

Happy? Surprised? Scared.

EDD April 2011. Almost exactly one year after. Will the story be the same?
