I just got off the phone with the Ob/Gyn Nurse. She said my HCG level was 1265, which is consistent for a pregnancy between 4-6 weeks. (I'm estimating 4 weeks based on my BBT.)

| HCG level on 02/12/14 |
Due to my previous miscarriage, the doctor wants me to repeat the HCG level every week until it surpasses 10,000. Once I'm 8 weeks along or have an HCG level above 15,000, I'll get an early ultrasound with a nurse to make sure everything looks good (again due to my history of miscarriage). Since HCG doubles every 48 hours, it's hopeful that I'll be at 15,000 on Wednesday when I go back for bloodwork again.
Additionally, we booked an OB group class (where they tell us all about pregnancy & childbirth) for March 12th (at around 8 weeks) and an appointment with my doctor on March 26th (at around 10 weeks) to hear the baby's heartbeat by Doppler! So exciting!!
