21st September 2012
Today is the day we find out if I am pregnant or not. We get up early and go for the HCG blood test. After the test we are told we need to wait up to 2 hours for the results. I have already decided that if the result isn't what we want we will be drowning our sorrows at the nearest brunch so I'm keen to get the results as soon as possible. We wait in the clinic at opposite sides of the corridor. I had broken my toe chasing our puppy Merlot the day before so wanted to sit in a comfy seat. The results came through on a fax and the nurse walks to me with a big smile to say "Congratulations you are pregnant'' and shook my hand. Mike and I exchanged a smile and for some reason a crowd forms as the nurse tells me what to do next and when to book a scan. A very different experience from others who are generally in the privacy of their own bathroom ( not that i am complaining or anything but grateful at this stage) The nurse then calls the doctor over to tell him the good news and points out that my HCG levels are very high which is a good sign. We decide to stay cautious about the pregnancy until at least the first scan, we have to wait until the 10th of October which seems like forever away as we have found out about this pregnancy very early, I'm not even 4 weeks pregnant.
In the weeks before the first scan I don't experience any bad symptoms, a bit of light headedness, bloated and tiredness maybe. The 10th of October cant come quick enough.
