my docs wanted me to take an over the counter pg test before they'd even consider giving me the blood test. the otc tests usually detect only higher levels of the hcg hormone, so waiting until a missed period was pretty much my only option, even though i was almost positive i was preggers anyway. blood tests can detect the hcg at lower concentrations and can, therefore, be taken earlier...just a few days past ovulation i think.

i forgot to add that my tummy got kinda hard to the touch...about 2 months in or so, i think.
