AW BFP Update

In a bout of excitement (and mild anxiety about faint lines) I became a bit of a poas addict. Yesterday, I had an acupuncture session where my acupuncturist (of four years) told me she knew I was pregnant last week based on my pulse but didn't want to tell me. She also said "I told you so" about November being the month to try, which is true and I may have waited until after the new year. Then in the afternoon I called my ob/gyn office and they said to come in for a urine test (not that I think theirs are better than the four (yes, four) brands I have, but whatever). Regardless of darkening lines this morning, I went today and after a wait got a sheet that says I'm (officially) pregnant.
I then had a call with the nurse where she encouraged me to make an 8-week appointment (including ultrasound that I wasn't planning on). I asked about ordering a larger quantity of Endometrin (so I can save money at the pharmacy). She wanted to check with the doctor and then called me back and left a voicemail for me from another (non-ob) doctor that I should speak with the prescribing doctor about whether I should increase my dose. Not helpful. I talked to a consulting nurse (not ob specific) who left a message for my obgyn or the prescribing obgyn to call me tomorrow. All of this is weird as the prescribing ob just said "if positive stay on it for the first tri" nothing about increasing. The consulting nurse was super sweet and reassuring.
Overall I feel good, some cramps and breast tenderness, but nothing else that's not progesterone related. We're still being a bit cautious with our hearts, but C and I talked about my/our favorite midwives and doulas over lunch which was fun. I keep having moments of amazement that this is happening.

POAS away! I was too chicken to EVER poas since our first betas were so low, and then after we were past that I had massive SCH-related bleeding, and I'm actually a little sad that I've never seen a positive pregnancy test.
I understand your cautiousness (is that a word?), but do enjoy those moments of just letting go of the worry and the "we shouldn't...". They are to be treasured!
