I went in this morning for my beta. By the time I called, I really wanted to go, but I had a terrible headache and didn't even want to get out of bed. But I figured if I didn't go today, I would have to wait til Monday for my 2nd one and I hate waiting.. so I went. They usually call sometime between 1:30 and 3pm with bloodwork results.
Oh, and that test I took last night that showed no lines.. it's just screwy. I glanced at it last night when I went to bed and the couple times during the night that I had to get up to use the bathroom and still nothing. After I called the RE for my appointment, I went into the bathroom again and there were 2 lines. Weird. Like some cosmic force was saying "I'm not going to show you until you do what you need to do." And that is such a beautiful beta number, Jamie!

Alright December Team - I am going to jump in! According to my count my EDD is Dec 12th. I am very excited and feel really positive, but that 2nd beta on 4/4 is really going to help me "hit the roof" so to speak.
This seems like a wonderful, positive group - I love that. My 2ww group was out of control wonderful - we made up swimming cheers for the sperm, sticky cheers for the embryo - it worked for me. I welcome all the support you have until this Friday - I am sooooooooooooo happy to be here

Yep. Friday at 8:45.. should have the results by about 2 or so. Though now that I think about it, I think their office closes at noon on Fridays so I might get the results earlier. Guess I'll just have to wait and see

Thanks ladies!
For whatever reason, I'm not nearly as nervous this time as I was last time. I find myself wanting to just tell everyone. Somehow, I just know that we're going to bring home a healthy little baby in 8 months. My nurse told me yesterday that my numbers look a lot better than last time too. With my ectopic, my first beta at 21dpo was 90. This go 'round at a full week earlier, it's a little more than half that. I'm just so excited and I'm so happy that I have this wonderful group of ladies to share everything with!

You know what Jenny? I actually feel the same way. It's weird. I thought I would be completely paranoid (which I guess I kind of am), but I'm not obsessing over it nearly as much as I was last time. It's like I was preparing myself for the worst last time. I am just surprised that I am as "relaxed" as I am this time around (although I have my moments). I think I feel like I'm in better hands (being followed by an RE now instead of just OBGYN). I'm also a little more relaxed because the RE is letting me stay on the metformin, and of course has me on progesterone support. I wasn't on either of those last time. I take that back, they had me take prometrium vaginally after I started bleeding THE SECOND TIME (a little late).
 Anyway, I feel this weird sense of calm, as if everything is going to be alright, and we will bring home a healthy baby in December just in time for Christmas.
