My beta has me a little worried. It didn't quite go up enough. It was only 757. She said for me to come in on Wed. for beta #4. I knew it was too soon to get my hopes up, but it's so hard not too.

Well, got the results from my beta, it was 240. What does everyone think? I started getting positive HPT's on friday, wonder if this is high enough. I go back wednesday morning for a repeat. Asked RE's nurse about the cramping and they said it was normal.

Hope everyone is having a great afternoon.
