My HCG was 1,969 - definitely doubled from the 400 or so it was at on Friday! Yay! Now we get to have an early ultrasound tomorrow afternoon to make sure that everything physically looks like it should so far. It'll be too early to see a heartbeat or anything, but at least we should be able to see the "yolk sack." Fingers crossed!
BTW, we should be at 5 weeks today.
Baby's now the size of an appleseed!
Your embryo, which doesn't look like much more than a tadpole right now, is actually starting to form major organs (heart, kidney, liver, stomach) and systems (nervous, circulatory, digestive). Baby's presence in your uterus triggers production of HCG (the hormone detected by pregnancy tests), which triggers the production of other hormones like estrogen and progesterone, which triggers all those great symptoms you've probably been noticing!
