So, last night I woke up really sweaty and super crampy. Think worst (.) cramps ever. They lasted 15-20 minutes but I was so worried and I had a hard time going back to sleep because I was freaked out. I am continuing to take my BBT each morning (until our first doctor's appt) just to make sure it's staying up - and this morning it was .2 lower than yesterday. All of this combined had me completely scared. So, when I got to work I told G that I was calling the Dr - just for a piece of mind. I explained to the nurse what was going on - she didn't seem too worried but asked me if I would feel better if I just came in. I said, YES. So, they are seeing me today at 5pm. I am so freaked out. What if they tell me I'm not pregnant or that I wasn't ever pregnant and that Aunt Flow is just running late and those tests I took were just wrong? What if they tell me something is really wrong with me or the tiny person inside me? I am freaked! But, I am feeling good that they are going to see me. I know it's too early for a heart beat - at best I am 5w1d - but chances are I am more like 4w4d if my charting is correct. I know they are going to take blood, make me pee, take my bp, weight, etc...but hopefully we'll get good news back and that all of this worrying is just me being crazy.

Well, the doctors appt. went well. He made me feel like I wasn't crazy and that sometimes weird things happen to you body. My bp was good. He did an ultra sound and things looked normal. We even saw the sac - which he guessed put me around 4w1d (veeeery early....I must have ovulated later than I thought?). It was weird because I have always seen a female doctor and really thought that I wound never see a male one - but he was great - and I didn't even care what gender he was. Had to go back this morning to do blood work - and have to back on Friday to do more so that they have two samples to compare. Praying my hgc #s look high and that the progesterone looks good, too. Still praying!

Nurse called yesterday afternoon and told me that by hgc count was at 2,000 which was good and that my progesterone was 38 (point something) which was also good. She scheduled me to come in tomorrow (Friday) at 8 for another ultrasound and blood work. I was expecting the blood work...but really praying everything is fine and that the ultrasound is just to compare Tuesday's measurements. This is really stressful - but, I've stopped googling everything that I feel or worst cast scenarios. This is only freaking me out more. Plus, the internet does not have all the answers. And reading other people's horror stories doesn't help me sleep at night. So...waiting till tomorrow.

Went for the follow-up this morning at the doctor's office...and, the ultra sound looked great - bigger sac than Tuesday which is awesome! Also, they didn't make me give more blood because so far everything looks great. What's crazy...in a week or so, there should be a heart beat! Ah! We go for our Nurse Talk/Ultrasound on Tuesday, August 7...which is
