The original post was getting so long I thought I'd start a new one so as not to push everyone else down!!
I was off-line for the weekend and just signed back on and was crying as I read everyones well wishes!!! You have all been so supportive and kind to me, I really appriciate it!!
I couldn't be happier right now! I took it easy all weekend! Will got out the cookbooks, made a grocery list and went shopping all by himself! He has done ALL the cooking and even made me breakfast in bed Sunday morning! Waffles and strawberries, my favorite!! Yummy!!! 
We went to the Cider Mill Sunday afternoon because it was beautiful here and I just wanted to get out for a little while. I made sure the apple cider I had was pasturized and had a camrel apple and enjoyed the sunshine and cool air! 
I've been feeling nauseous and dizzy, YAY!!!! LOL!! I've been very emotional, kinda bitchy one minute and then very weepy the next! YAY!! My boobs are killing me!! YAY!!! I'm so very tired! YAY!!!!! The worse I feel, oddly, the more reasurring it is to me!! 
I went in and talked to the nurse at the Re's office this morning. Everyone has assured me they are doing everything possible. I had more blood work done this morning and the nurse will call me later with the results. I'll feel so much better about this pregnancy when I can go in and have an ultrasound done and actually see my baby's heart beating. that won't be for 2-3 weeks yet as I'm only 15 dpo(15 days past ovulation) right now. Which they would consider 4 weeks pregnant! I'm TRYING very hard to stay calm and mellow. I plan on taking it very easy and just resting. Luckily, my job isn't very demanding and Will has been more than happy to help out around the house.
Thanks again everyone!! You have all touched my life in a very special way!!!

Wonderful News!!! My beta went from 35 on CD 12 to 200 on CD15!!!!!!!! It should double every 48-72 hours and mine is doubling way faster than that!!!!! Also, my progesterone, which has always been low and the suspected cause of my previous miscarriages is 42.7!!!!!! It was in the low teens for the last two pregnancies. Dr's like it to be over 20 and mine is double that!!!!!!! Wahoo!!!!
This still isn't a gaurentee that everything is fine but its certainly starting off very well!!!! Happy Dance, Happy Dance!!!!!! 
We will repeat the beta on Wednesday and do an ultrasound in about 2.5 weeks!!!!!

Yes, that thought did cross my mind! However, I still can't believe I got pregnant at all because 2 days before I ovulated, I had a follicle at 14, 2 at 12 and 2 at 10! They typically grow 1-2mm a day and they usually need to be 18 before they are mature, so its a miracle any of them released!! But, if by some chance, there are two baking in there, I'd be happy as can be!!!!

That's wonderful news! I know you are so excited! I couldn't wait to get home to see what the doctor's office said. I remember going through the same thing, and the sicker I felt, the happier I was! (No one can understand that---unless they've been through a miscarriage.)
This is going so well. Those numbers are so high!!! I just know this is all going to work out.
Does the doctor have you using the progesterone suppositories this time too? Or is it high enough naturally?
Praying for you!

YUP!!!! I was ok when I got up. I got ready for work and was feeling really dizzy and decided I'd better eat something. Will had baked a breakfast casserole, yummy! Then, my kitties decided they needed breakfast too. Do you have any idea just how bad soft, canned cat food smells??? I thought I was going to harf my breakfast!!!! HEHE!!
I'm mostly just really dizzy and have to remember to move slower. If I get up too fast or bend over or do ANYTHING too fast, everything gets kinda dark and fuzzy. I'm pretty much nauseous most of the time but if I sip water constantly it helps. I actually don't have a real big appietite right now, which is good because I need to really watch my weight gain. I'm already about 30 pounds overweight so I'm trying to limit my weight gain to about 25 pounds.
Its funny, usually I have a BIG sweet tooth and right now if I eat anything too sugarey, I feel like harfing! I think its a boy because girls are made up of "sugar and spiece and everything nice" and this baby does NOT want sugar or spiece right now!!!!! LOL!!!!
I'm also having a lot of "pinchy" kinda cramps. The nurse said it was the baby burrowing in nice and snuggley and that my uterus is actually already starting to expand! She said even though I miscarried each time before that my body knows whats going on now and things will be stretching and filling out a bit quicker than someone actually having there first baby!!

I was pregnant for a very short time in 2001 and remember the smell of coffee making me ill. I LOVE the smell of coffee and when I couldn't even tolerate the smell I thought something was up.
The smell of cat food makes me want to barf any day! That is some nasty smelling stuff.
Hey...now you have a reason not to clean the litter box! Aren't pregnant mommies supposed to stay away from litter boxes?

You're right, unless someone has been through this, they just can't understand why I'm so happy to be so sick!! I haven't actually threw anything up yet but brought a toothbrush and toothpaste to work today, just incase!
I have been on the progesterone since about 2 dpo. I was on the supplements the last two times though and it was in the low teens at this point. They like to see it over 20 and mine is 42.7!!!!! WAAHOOO!!! I'll be staying on the progesterone suppositories as insurance though until about 10-12 weeks when the placenta takes over the production!

YEP! There is some sort of toxic sickness that pregnant mom's can get from the kitty box, so Wills on cat little duty! He went to the grocery store and has been doing the cooking but when I reminded him he had to change the cat box, he was less than trilled! I told him it was good practice for changing poopey baby diapers and he just looked at me funny!

Funny you should mention that about toothbrushes and toothpaste, because those are the 2 things that made me so sick when I was pregnant! Yep! Every morning, when I brushed my teeth, I gagged on the toothpaste! It makes me sick to even think about it.
Funny how things that normally don't bother you are yucky when you're pregnant. I couldn't stand the taste of iced tea or the smell of ground beef cooking.
And toothpaste!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I remember having dry heaves in the shower---when I bent over to shave my legs.
I'm so glad you're feeling sick! (That's sick, isn't it? But you know what I mean!)
And that your hormone levels are high. That's so reassuring to you, I know. Yes, I'd continue the progestrone---just as insurance, as you said.
Good luck!

Slice a few slices of ginger the size of a quarter and steep in a mug of boiling water. Excellent for nausea.

Congratulations on your news......I bet you never thought you would look forward to feeling nauseous.
Wishing you the best of luck.

Thanks BL!! I guess puking while trying to brush your teeth is fairly common as I've heard similiar stories from others! Luckily, I've done nothing more than gag so far. Although I feel like I COULD barf at any second! I have an awful headache and I'm tired and my boobs hurt and I COULDN"T BE HAPPIER!!!
I had another beta drawn this morning and waiting for the results! I'll post an update as soon as I hear!!
