It was positive! Ahh! All three tests! Pics below. I went in for the blood work, and now I'm just waiting for the call. They told me they probably won't have the results until noon or 1 (Mountain time), so I still have 4-5 hours of waiting. Happy, but still worried.
Good luck to all the other snow bunnies!
UPDATE: beta came back at 148! My e2 and p4 are pretty high (e2 is 1,844 and p4 is > 240), so that explains the continued bloating. I go back Wed for a second beta. FX for good numbers again!
