10 WEEKS!! Huzzah! Double digits AND I'm a quarter of the way there!
I have my first ultrasound appointment on the 30th, so two more weeks to go! I've been having fearful thoughts about a missed abortion, but this afternoon I did a pee test and I still have a nice solid line. That seems to be the only thing that puts me at ease, at least until I have the ultrasound and I can see my baby and hear a heartbeat. I really wish I had a doppler. I might be able to hear it using a doppler at this point. I do have a stethoscope, but those don't work until about 20 weeks.
I've been feeling a little tight chested today, which is making me feel like I can't breathe very well. I don't have any history of anxiety either. It doesn't help that my nose is all stuffed up too. I know the stuffiness is a symptom, but feeling like I have a tight chest? I dunno. I was walking around the apartment making dinner and such and felt short of breath. I took my pulse and it was about 120, just from walking around the apartment. It felt like I was coming down from a workout. My apartment is hot and stuffy with electrical heating, which doesn't help either and Nate doesn't like me leaving the window open because he gets cold. But I need fresh air! He should just put on a sweater and deal with it, lol.

yay for u/s in 2 weeks. its wonderful seeing baby for the first time.
I've had a missed m/c or missed ab, not to scare you, but you would still get a positive HPT. B/C the baby passed but your body continutes producing all the hormones, thinking baby still alive. You wouldn't notice anything until 12 weeks when the placenta takes over.
I am sure you are fine, they are rare. and at home dopplers usually don't pick up on baby's heartbeat until 12 weeks.
