Update: SO early and SO nervous

LMP 4 weeks today, but really 14dpo... and have had increasingly positive (lines getting darker) HPTs.
Decided to go for a blood test today to double-confirm, and see where my HCG is at, before leaving for a two week international trip on friday morning. I'll get the results tomorrow morning.
Why I'm here: I'm just so nervous about everything-- it so SO early-- I almost regret knowing, but who am I kidding? There was no way I wasn't peeing on those sticks. But every little twinge, I'm concerned. With the blood test I'm worried the HCG will be low, so that's my newest concern (with zero basis).
Every time I go to the bathroom I'm checking out the toilet paper for blood... I know I'm not alone in this but I'm having a hard time.
Truly everything is fine- aside from the fact that for the last few days my glands are swollen/sore throat, I have a mild yeast infection and I pulled a muscle in my neck so badly I can only turn about 20 degrees to my left...
And positively freaky vivid dreams... which I guess is a good sign??
Trying to be positive, I really am, but it's hard when you want something so much. SO grateful you guys are here- I know you understand. Just having 'a moment' over here... obsessing about the first test results I will get for this pregnancy, and hoping so much that they are filled with good news.

Re: Update: SO early and SO nervous
sending positive vibes...reading everyone's posts helps because you realize being scared isn't crazy! good luck and baby dust!!
HCG at 475 (in range from 5-500) at exactly 4 LMP!! In reality- without LMP it was only 14dpo, so I'm really pleased the number is so high at this point! No tests until I get back from a two week trip to Ireland, but the trip will be a welcome distraction. That way when we return I can do the full bloodwork and it should be late enough to do the dating scan (while looking for a heartbeat!).
Feeling wonderful right now, and plan to hold onto this feeling for a good long while. Thanks again for all the support!

thank you! the fear I have during this entire process is unlike anything else. I knew this would be emotionally taxing but this is another level.
