A little secret

Well,  now that we've told the parents.... I think it's safe to put this here. 
Took a test Wednesday and Thursday and saw this  (top is Wednesday, bottom is Thursday) I apologize for the quality of the picture, it was taken with my phone.

Had my bloodwork done yesterday and beta came back at 354 and progesterone 127.  It's official, we're pregnant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To compare numbers,  my first pregnancy,  at equivalent date, beta was 50 and progesterond about 27.  I was told that was too low and not a good pregnancy,  they were right.

Second pregnancy,  beta 2 days later than this was 37 and progesterone 38.  Stopped the meds and progesterone dropped to 3.  This pregnancy was ectopic.

The nurse said that in 2 days from now they want it definately over 100 to be viable and ideally over 300.  We're already there!

Our first ultrasound is scheduled for Thursday to rule out for sure another ectopic and to see if it's one or two!  It will be too early for a heartbeat but we should be able to see a baby as a little blob :)

I am over the moon happy right now and since this is probably our last chance at being pregnant no matter what the outcome,  I will try and enjoy every minute of it and crossing my finger we're in this for another 9 months.  Our due date is January 25th :)

If you know me in real life,  please keep this a secret for now, extended family have not been told the news yet and probably won't until we see a heartbeat.
