The dreaded 2 week wait was over but we aren’t confirmed as pregnant yet.

I had my blood draw at 7:15 am so that we could get lab results the sane day. I got a call just after noon from my amazing coordinator who said pregnancy hormone was detected. Many people who have natural pregnancies unassisted don’t know that we don’t celebrate this first blood test. It’s indicative of successful implantation but the pregnancy is not yet confirmed. We take another test in a few days. If that test shows no hormone then the experience is termed a chemical pregnancy that never became confirmed or viable. If a specific increase in the hormone is detected, then the pregnancy is confirmed. So, again, we wait.
