So on Friday April 20, I went and had a real blood pregnancy test (Test 6). My nurse said that I would have to go back on Monday (Test 7) and do another one because they like to look at how the levels of HCG change.
Here is my recollection of how that Monday went:
Scene: K has called nurse to see if paperwork has been sent to do next test...left message..went to Kroger for groceries...the phone rings:
K: hello
Nurse: we got your test results back and you are definitely pregnant. Your numbers are high so we need you to come in on Thursday midday to see the doctor.
K: Can I come in after school?
Nurse: No we are working you in and you need to come.
K: OK. I'll be there Thursday.
Scene: K checks out and goes to car...decides that she does not understand what the conversation meant so calls back:
K: what will the appointment be on Thursday?
Nurse: the doctor will be doing an ultrasound.
K: should D be there (duh??)
Nurse: most people like to have the S.O. there to see the ultrasound for the first time.
K: what does it mean that the numbers are high?
Nurse: it means that there may be multiple babies. that is what the ultrasound is for..to see how many there are.
Scene: K calls D at work and relays the conversations...D does immediate research on the internet!
