I Have Something to Share


Okay, first of all, I'm sorry I haven't updated sooner. We got the results of my first beta on Thursday. My number was kind of low at only 39. I was warned that it was really low, and could be a sign of miscarriage. They don't do pregnancy tests on the weekend so I had to wait until today to get the repeat beta done. We were hoping for something around the 160 mark. That would have been perfect 48 hour doubling. My beta came in at 447! Someone told me about a calculator. I guess my doubling was 1.13 days or 27.12 hours. :)

The same nurse that called on Thursday called again today and I could tell she was so excited for us. She said this is a really good number based on where it was on Thursday.

Next week I have one more beta and then an u/s the following week.

Could it be possible that this is actually happening? I sure hope so. I'm more than ready!
