First Trip to the Doctor

So about 4 or 5 days ago I took a home pregnancy test that said I was pregnant. I was so giddy I could hardly contain myself. I was snowed in that day with my husband, Jason, and as soon as I felt he had had enough sleep I woke him up and showed him the good news. It was a very faint line, but it was a line!

The next day, I was doubting the faint line so I went to the store to get a digital test. I came home and took the test. This is what showed up:


 I'd say that's pretty straight forward. Of course I think it is too good to be true so I wanted to schedule a doctors appointment too. At this point though Jason and I are so excited we can hardly contain ourselves. The next day we tell our parents.

Today, Monday, January 31, I went to the doctor for a confirmation. The did the urine test and that came out negative, but they said their test just might not be strong enough since it is so early. They took blood and told me they would call me with the results tomorrow.

Right now I am feeling a bit nervous. If I got a positive 5 days ago, why aren't my hormone levels high enough for their tests to detect? Maybe I am just over reacting. They said I would be about 4 weeks pregnant and that is still pretty early for regular urine tests.

I am also feeling super bloated. Ugh! I'll take it though if it means I am right where I am supposed to be and all my hormone levels are fine. I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow.
