Finally got my results back (after blowing up the answering service bc the office was closed) and my HCG is 137 Progesterone 15.8. I think those numbers are good/normal??

Are they doing another draw? My understanding is that it isn't the number that is important as much as the rate in which it increases.
What symptoms are you experiencing? I smell everything. Seriously I have a bloodhound nose right now. I can smell my coworker's salad from across the office. Other than that sore boobs, exhaustion and mild cramping.
How far along? 4 weeks 5 days
Any anxiety, fear, or questions brewing?? Yes all the fear. I think if you suffer any type of loss anxiety looms over you. I'm trying not to get ahead of myself and take it one day at a time. I'm forbidding myself to think beyond 12 weeks right now.

Yes, they did a second draw today but only for hcg and it was 221. Not quite 48 hours, more like 42, so I am hoping that 6 or so hours could have brought me up closer to doubling. But since its not double I am going back in on Sat and will get results Monday.
What symptoms are you experiencing? Mostly just light cramping/pulling, on and off soreness in breasts, gassiness, and shortness of breath. My nose is totally plugged but I can still smell some pretty random things, not sure if it's pregnancy or just what breaks through my sinuses.
How far along? 3w3d
Any anxiety, fear, or questions brewing? A ton of fear mostly. I don't know when I'll get into the OB to confirm my pregnancy, but I'm terrified it will be gone before I get there. Scared to see blood when I wipe, scared it won't have a heartbeat, just scared. I keep having dreams it's a little girl, but I wish my brain would shut off with that until after my first tri is over. I am wondering, provided I make it to the 10 week mark, what the pregnancy program at the OB's office is like. It's like a group session once a week or something recurring and at the end of the session they do one-on-ones so moms can hear the heartbeat and talk privately with a doc or midwife.
