By the way... you were concerned last weekend... and now everything is Ok. Are you still spotting or did it stop? Just asking. Some have mentioned that IVFers spot for nine months.

I was just sitting here thinking the same thing I thought a week ago it was over. No more spotting no more cramping. I have a full dull aches every once in a while extremely tired at night and not all that hungry at night. Finally the headache I've had for a week has gone away! I figured it was my body adjusting to increasing hcg who knows though

When I was pg with my son, my RE told me not to read into my symptoms at all during the first trimester because they will come and go the entire time - and he was right. I freaked when my boobs stopped hurting, but it was nothing. I prayed for morning sickness, but never had any. I would worry about every cramp and twinge, but in the end, it was all ok. I know it is much easier said than done though! Congrats again!!

Cathy-congrats on your increasing beta! I am so happy for you! It's a good sign that your doctor isn't requesting anymore betas, but maybe they will let you have another one for peace of mind. This is so exciting!!
