2nd hCG Quantitative blood test

I took another urine pregnancy test this morning and it was not as faint as the other ones it was much more positive. My emotions have been all over the place today. The best way to describe the way I was feeling was a heavy heart. I want so badly to be pregnant but I also know that with my history that there is a huge chance of another miscarriage so I do not want to get my hopes up.
At 2:30 this afternoon I went in and had my 2nd blood test done. They ordered it STAT for me so that I could know the results today. Kathy (my Nurse) called me a half an hour later and she said that my number went UP to 14! That means it way more than doubled! She said this is really good but it does not mean that I am out of the dark yet. I requested that we do another blood test in 2 days to make sure that the numbers continue to double. I have been having a little cramping here and there so I am still a little worried.

YAY! I am so excited yet I know that I am kind of in Limbo for now! So the plan for now is another blood test in 2 days, continue taking progesterone and a baby aspirin and then a Ultrasound and appointment at 7 weeks which is scheduled for September 1st. Due date is April 20, 2012. So for now we will just "Let it be" and hope and pray for the best. I am trying not to let it consume my every thought but it is rather difficult. I am still not posting these posts as we feel it is best to wait at least until after the ultrasound to tell anyone. So for those of you reading this in the future thanks for all of your support.
