The call

I got to the clinic just before my appointment at 8am. Did my Lubion injection in the car as wasn't sure how long I would be in there and I need to do it at 8am and 8pm every day. Got in, sat down and was called in almost straight away. It was one of my favourites nurses, Nicola. First thing she asked me after we got into her office was if I tested this morning. I said I did and that it was positive. She was very pleased. Started checking my left arm for veins, chose one but it hid. Moved onto my right arm and actually found a better vein and got the blood. One little vial. She told me they would call me 3pm the earliest  and 6pm latest. It was gonna be a long day. I was there until 8.30am as I decided to get all medications until the first scan already instead of driving there again later this week. Scan is booked for Halloween! On the way out doctor David just got in and we met in the reception area. He was asking if everything is good and I said yes, I'm very happy. He asked if I tested and I said it was positive. He looked happy. Almost made me cry. I really like him.
I was quite nervous all day, awaiting the call that would either confirm the result of home pregnancy test or crush our hopes. Sophie called just after 4pm. It came back positive! Any result above 25 units of hCG in blood is considered positive and my number was 1198! We are over the moon!
