So my dr. checked my beta early along with my progesterone. I can't believe it! I was so excited I forgot to ask her what my beta was. I rushed home to do a HPT. I just had to see those two lines .

I am and Im not. We are not telling anyone yet. Everyone who asks, we tell them it did not work. My mom does know. So far I cant say I am pregnant, I can only say the test is positive. I hate feeling like this, this just feels like deja vu.

Cari, I can imagine how you must be feeling aprehensive to really allow the joy the set in. But this baby is growing inside of you, maybe slowly yes, but it is fighting to be with you. Hopefully your numbers will continue to double and soon enough you will be able to tell to the whole world that you are pregnant! I'm for your great numbers next Beta.

Cari your numbers are doubling isn't that what they want to see? I'm just curious as mine are the same way.

My freaking mother in law put up a bullentin board sign in our home town for us. I was PI$$ED!!!!!My DH told her to take it down. I feel like she jinxed us now. I told her she could tell the family but she told the whole frigging town.

Yes, doubling is good. We are both moving in the right direction. Your numbers are a little ahead of mine. I dont mean to worry you with my worry. My numbers are following really closely to my m/c cycle (they are actually a little lower than that one). I cant help but compare this one to that one. Eventhough I had researched betas all week and I have plenty of reason to feel like I am still in the game its just hard. Especially when I got PG with my son I had some pretty good numbers( I dont know what they were), they were thinking multiples. I know every PG is different.

I would be pi$$ed too for doing that. I know she is excited but it is so early.
