Yay, 6 weeks!

So I had some more weirdness today, still spotting but then also some dark flecks of something more solid like, EW.  So that freaked me out enough to call up Dr. H and talk to the nurse.  Interestingly enough she was pregnant too and has the exact same date of her last period as me.  She said she's also been having the same symptoms and has a similar history so she's been a crazy lunatic around the office.  That made me feel better.  Anyway, she said sometimes the blood kind of clumps up and sticks together and as long as it's still brown it's probably fine.  She said if it would make me feel better she'd order up another HCG, stat, so I took her up on that.  I just got the results back (already!) and it's up to 14,533.  So if my HCG was exactly doubling every 48 hours then that is just about right.  She said right about this time the HCG starts to taper off so doing any more would probably worry me even more.  So that's it.  Now I REALLY have to wait unless I kick and scream and insist on having an ultrasound.  But the last thing I want is to have an U/S too early, not see a heartbeat, and then have to sweat about that for another week before they can do another one.  So I'm happy now.
