Drawing More Blood... Anxious to Hear Results.

It's two days later. Though I am more relaxed after a high positive preliminary blood test, I'm still a little anxious as I prepare to go in and have blood drawn for the confirmation, or blood test #2. What they look for is whether or not the HCG levels rise between the first day and this day. They should nearly double the initial test.

While all logic states the results should continue to be positive, based on the initial HCG level reading of 143 iu/L, there is a little voice in my head that holds doubt and keeps whispering "What if?". I mean, all signs point to a good result... but stupid doubt just won't let go.

The result was 258 iu/L, over double the levels from the previous test. We are officially pregnant! Woohoo!!
