First Visit Blood Work

MrsMartin27

I went for my very first prenatal visit yesterday. When I sat with the nurse, she said that my urine pregnancy test had a very dark line and that is rare for me to be this early in my pregnancy. I told her I got a very faint line at 3 weeks 3 days and a very dark line 2 days later. All she could say was, "Wow, wow, wow." I took it as a good sign. My doctor felt my uterus and he said it felt larger than he would expect. They also went ahead and did an ultrasound. Before it began, the tech told me not to worry if we couldn't see anything because it was still very early, but we saw a very definite spot. She said it was measuring about 5 weeks 1 day.

 All that to say, my doctor said he was going to do some additional blood work by mixing some hormones into my blood that was drawn. What he is looking for? We are both hoping for twins, but will be happy as long as our baby is healthy! Thanks.
