Beta #2

My beta more than doubled so we are still good. I'm glad he didn't tell me the number Friday because I would have freaked out. My beta was 11 on Friday and 29 today. He said it's probably because my embryos weren't quite blasts when we transferred and may have implanted later. Because I am completely anal about such things I looked up my betas from Madison and they were comparable with this pregnancy. I took a test the day before my period was due and it was negative and I just assumed I wasn't pregnant. A week later I took another test and it was positive so I went in for a beta with Dr. T. My initial beta was 127 and a week after my period was due! If I had done a beta as early as I did with this pregnancy, it would have been extremely low. I'm trying not to worry, but that's easier said than done.

I certainly didn't feel this bad with any pregnancy this early! That is helping me stay sane about this process more than anything. I'm so nauseous and I go back and forth between starving and feeling like I'm going to throw up. I'm extremely tired and dealing with some insomnia issues too. I'm kind of astounded that I feel this bad with such low levels of HCG! I typically start feeling pretty bad when my levels hit about 500+.

We will just keep on keeping on and hope things continue to go well. Another beta on Wednesday, then an ultrasound in about 10 days. I'm seriously just praying for a good outcome right now.
