Beta Day!

So I stopped by the RE's office at 8am and had my blood drawn for the beta test.  I was expecting to not hear back from the doc till late morning at the earliest.  Well I got a call an hour later I hadn't even made it all the way home yet from des moines.

And the number was.... 388!  yeah, I'm officially PREGNANT!   The doc said that I need a second beta test and in 2.5 weeks an ultrasound and that I have to continue to do the PIO (progesterone in oil) shots, joy :o(

I need to have the test repeated in 2 days to ensure that the number is increasing. Which is a slight challenge on its own.  I'm out of town this week for work and so the nurse gave me the lab request to take in someplace. So I have to find a clinic or hospital close to where I am (which turns out is in another town).  And then I have to figure out what to tell my coworker why I have to leave early or not go to dinner with her without telling her the real reason.

The hubby and I have decided to wait until at least after the ultrasound before telling some family & friends.  That way we're sure that everything is progressing properly. Which I know that doesn't mean that nothing will happen but here's to hoping!
