ballerinagirl,

congrats on your beta!! What a great number.......I would be so more at ease if I had high beta's like that. I know mine were on the high side too but I still am nervous about tomorrow. I am scared my numbers will drop because I haven't felt anything...... I am just overthinking.

Martieroo congrats on your second beta that is high!!
we've got lots of strong beta's ladies!!

Journey congrats on your BFP, six more days until beta!! I bet it will be high too.......

well ladies best of luck and hope that we can share our 9 month journeys!!!

Tisha

Second Beta is Tomorrow

My second beta is tomorrow they say this is the very important one. I am soooooooooooooo nervous. My de nurse told me she has seen singletons with high betas like mine. I must admit I am totally exhausted is this normal? Or is this all in my head.

WELCOME New girls I'm so glad our thread is growing.

MY husband is stressed. He said have you done the math on this number. I keep telling him betas vary and not to read into it. When I cycled last year my estradiol was in the 8000 range and I got really sick with ohss. He is worried about me so I am trying to stay calm and be the rock.

Great news!

After one year of trying and two MC (chemical pregnancies) we got a BFP this weekend, today I received my beta count of 469! or is this too low? I'm excited since the last two times they started at 75.. my RE will keep monitoring my HCG levels, I am they keep raising!

May 10th is my due date, what better mothers day gift could a woman ask for!
Congrats to all!!!

BTW we conceived naturally, we did 2 rounds of Clomid unsuccesfully then had an HSG and Dr said our chances of getting pregnant were 12% because my left Ovary had scar tissue from Cyst removal surgery.

Since last month was so hard emotionally, I decided to take a break, no OPT, no raising my hips for 30 mins, voiala!

About me:

HSG 08/12 must have ovulated right after

Good luck Ballerina. I wish there was a way to absolute sense of the BETA #s, but it appears the U/S is the only way they can certainly tell. I can see why your DH is nervous. I am a little nervous about triplets and my #s are lower than yours. Good luck on your BETA tomorrow.

Congratulations Laula! How exciting!!!

Journey- how are you feeling?

I can certainly tell my sense of smell has increased. I walked by the seafood dept at the local grocery store tonight and it smelled like dead fish to me ( and I love seafood). We went to eat at a restaurant on SUN and the table smelled like bleach to me, but my hubby couldn't smell anything. Crazy! I have been having hot flashes at night. It seems like most of my symptoms are coming on at night which is consistent with my twin sister. I felt a little queezy tonight.

What are ya'll feeling?

All I have to say is OMG!

My beta came back today at 6, 126 and they saw three sacs!!!!! They are all measuring 5 weeks and 5 days and look good she said.

We are still in shock but very grateful! I still can't believe it. A lot can still happen we go back next Wednesday for heartbeats!!

SOME OF YOU HAD HIGHER BETA'S! GOOD LUCK LADIES, I can't wait to hear what you are all having....

Heather - your symptoms are funny. I am having the bleach thing too. We were out over the weekend and I kept smelling bleach and of course no-one could smell anything but me. I'm really tired, have the metallic taste in my mouth, and the frequent bathroom breaks have started.

Tisha - That's amazing. Whew Hew for you! Triplets - an extra, extra, extra blessing.

I did my Beta this morning and am waiting for the call. I'll keep everyone posted.

Wow! Tisha, that is great. Are you nervous yet???

Journey-- looking forward to seeing what your results bring.

It looks like I am within a few days of Tisha, but my RE is not doing our 1st U/S until 09/18/2008. Ugggh! It's a long time to wait.

Well I finally got an answer about my Beta and it's a (as if the 4 HPT's I took weren't enough - lol) and the number is 94. They told me not to worry about the number BUT remember it's 4 days early, soooooo, ummmmmm, we'll see. Can't wait until the 17th for the ultrasound.
