Blood Tests

So I went in on Monday and got a blood test done. My hCG vale was 869. She said that was a good number considering I was 17 days post ovulation, but it was more important how well it doubled. So I went in today at lunch and had my 2nd blood test and they just called me with the results. The value was 2,234 so that means that it's doubling every 35 hours which is right on target as it usually doubles every 24 - 48 hours.

I graphed it based on 17 and 19 days past ovulation values (image #1). My values are higher than their HIGH trendline but definitly on target for a singleton (sorry mom!). So I changed the days to 18 and 20 dpo (image #2) and the values are right on the HIGH trendline so I might actually be a day ahead of what I think.

I scheduled my first ultrasound for January 11 which will be at 6.5 weeks.

Just wanted to let you know that so far so good!
