So. Um. I'm pregnant. My beta HCG at 7dp5dt, or 12dpo, was 54. That's two days earlier than they normally would have tested, and even at 14dpo they consider anything above 25 to be positive. So that's happening.
In other astounding medical news, the ultrasound yesterday afternoon could not find the clot in my leg. They were quick to caution me that this result doesn't mean there's no clot, so I need to have additional ultrasounds to make sure it wasn't a false negative. They saved the images from the original scan and everybody agrees there was a clot there as of Friday, and clots take several months to go away, so it may have moved (to where?!?) or it may be a problem with instrumentation. I'll probably have my next leg ultrasound on Monday 2/13 but for now they are not starting me on Lovenox or anything else.
Anyway, I may or may not be growing a clot, but I am definitely growing a baby. Holy... [fill in expletive of choice here].
Well lookie here!! Congratulations!!! (also, i'm amused that you've written more about the clot than the bfp)
