FINALLY my clinic called. I'm officially pregnant!! hCG level is 3x as high as the minimum number for 14 dpo so that's great! I'm at 146. I have another test on Tuesday to confirm numbers are doubling like they need to and as long as that is good, they'll schedule an ultrasound for me at around the 5-6 week mark.
My hubby immediately asked if my number meant I was having triplets. LOL! No, it's not high enough for that. There is a beta results website where you can look up betas that other women have had for singleton, twin, and triplet pregnancies: http://www.betabase.info/ So according to this site, my 1st beta is above the median of 103 for day 14.
Once I get my second number on Tuesday, I'll be able to determine the doubling time - the test of a viable pregnancy. There is a calculator on this site: http://www.ivfconnections.com/forums/content.php/751-Use-Our-Beta-hCG-Calculator-to-Understand-Your-IVF-Beta-Levels

So 1 more hurdle down, 3 more to go. But we are looking good for sure! I have to go order more progesterone so hubby can continue poking me with a 2" needle for 8 more weeks. Awesome!
And of course this makes it feel even more official:
