*Update*
Here is some good news today!!!
hCG results should be back in 4.5 to 5.5 hours. Blood draw was crazy. I've been craving medium rare to rare red meat for the last few days, ate 6 steaks in since Thursday...., and now I know why. My body has been BUSY making blood. When the nurse stuck the blood draw needle into my arm, blood spurted out all around it. And when she went to fill the vial, well, I have never seen blood whoosh into one of those things so fast!! It was amazing. Glad I listened to my body and ate what it told me to!
We also has our first post-conception u/s today. Our clinic's u/s machines are not very high powered, so we didn't know if we'd be able to see anything yet, but there it was, right where it should be, our gestational sac! Yayyyyy!!!!! There was something in the sac as well, but the machine isn't high enough resolution to have picked up exactly what it looked like. Doctor refuses to say what it is because she can't get a clear image, but it was obvious that she thinks we were looking at the yolk sac.
We go back in for another u/s in a week (23rd, 6+5). By then, we should be able to see more. And we're having the doctor in charge of the entire clinic doing the scan. He's the one who did my transfer.
Then another scan on the 30th (7+5) by my regular doctor to check for heartbeat if the machine isn't powerful enough to pick it up next week.
That amount of relief I am feeling is INTENSE.
One, maybe two, more ultrasounds and we should have proof that everything is okay.
