Pregnancy

Yes! we are pregnant. Its early days yet, a whole 5 weeks since my last period, so that makes baby 3 weeks old. Woohoo! We are very excited!
I have only been off the pill since the beginning of September. I have not had any symptoms yet. Apparently my bbs are bigger and i have a tiny tummy where I used to be flat, but other than that, nothing.
Guess right now I count myself very fortunate, :-)

I cramped really badly mid-cycle and my nipples were very sensitive for about 2 days. then just before I was due to menstruate, i started experiencing pain in my tummy. I left it for about 4 days, then decided to call my doctor. I explained the scenario and she said that she thought I was pregnant, so off for a blood test we go. (Now I was only 2 days)
That evening it came back positive!! HCG count at 86.
Went off to see my Doc the next day due to the pain. We were concerned about ectopic, or cystic ovary or twisted ovaries.
Doc did an ultrasound and all looked good. Uterus was expanding, placental development noted, no cysts, no excess fluid.
Diagnosis of pain: Heavy ovary dropping onto spinal nerves, referred pain in abdomen.
Lauren: is there anything I can take?
Doc: Welcome to pregnancy!!!

Friday was back off for another blood test, to make sure that HCG was doubling. Result at 48 hours: 240!! so far so good.

I think i am neurotic. Every twinge I feel i rush to check Google or one of the many books I have received, to see if the pain is normal.
My poor husband. I teel him about every twinge, every "ouch", every time I think my bbs grow or darken. ;-)

I hope that you will check back to see my ticker...
I intend to blog my pregnancy... hope its useful...
