BFP! And morning suckness.
So. . . in continuation of the last post, we got all of our test results back, resulting in the celebrated BFP (big fat positive)! I also have a row of HPT's (the kind you take at home) on my bathroom windowsill. I think I'm up to 5 now. Gross, I know, but I like looking at them. Each positive is darker than the last.
The hormone they test for (HCG) is on the high side, and even moreso the doubling rate is on the fast side. Usually they look for it to double within 48-72 hours, and for me it's doubled about every 28 hours. That could mean that it's just a really healthy pregnancy, or it could mean there's more than one in there. T-minus nine days until the ultrasound that will tell us for sure.
Right this minute, lots of HCG seems to mean lots of morning suckness. Yes, suckness. First it was a typo, now it's just a more descriptive term for the condition that has me always feeling green around the gills. I'm also very very very tired. . . which I know is par for the course, but I seem to be more tired than I was during my other pregnancies. Or I just forgot. Or I'm just getting old.
Whatever the cause, we're here. . . expecting, excited, a little nervous, and a lot happy. :)
