Getting Darker! (Update!)

A few people (okay, a lot) have asked why I keep testing, when I am in fact pregnant?! I like to see the lines get darker. It's like reassurance that the pregnancy is progressing! That and I like being able to see the positives now, ha.

They're getting darker! Top to bottom, in case it's hard to read my writing: 12 dpo 1am; 12 dpo 9pm; 13 dpo 3pm; 14 dpo 9pm (Monday, the 24th - Wednesday, the 26th)

These particular tests I am really loving, as the result line grows gradually darker each day. I wish I could say the same about First Response or Answer, but I can't. :( These tests though, they are Aimsticks/Aimstrips, which I've always loved. While BabyHopes no longer has the ones in the cartridges, you can buy the individual strips. I also had to plug BabyHopes real quick, as I love their company! Great customer service, prompt shipping, they include a packet of "baby dust" with each order (so cute!) and they've been around for awhile. :)

I'll be doing one more beta today, I think. Just a little reassurance that the number is increasing as it should. I have no doubt that it is, but it's just nice to have that extra, "Yep, it's going great so far!" Hopefully I will have my result later this evening. I will update THIS post with my number!

Update as of 10pm: Either the lab lost the vial of blood, or they are extremely slow today in getting results. I'll be calling the OB in the morning to hopefully get my result, and to also schedule the 6 week ultrasound to confirm placement and heartbeat! :)

Update as of Friday, the 28th at 4:20pm: 270! This gives a doubling time of 34.89 hours, which is fantastic! I go in mid-next week for one more draw, hopefully it's 2,000+ and then they will put in an ultrasound order. So excited!
