Liz & Shdy Grove 2-

Thank you so much for your responses, they have made me feel better about what the nurse said. Shdy Grove- it is great to hear that you had a similar number and ended up with a successful pregnancy...those are the kinds of things that definitely make me calm down when I read them. So thank you for sharing that!!

The more and more I have read and talked to others, the more I have found out that my number is not that bad and that it is not that unusual either. I suspect that I did implant late as my spotting ended the day before my BETA. I have not had any since. I also have been getting a bit more nauseated on/off starting yesterday so I feel that perhaps the hCG is just now kicking into gear and making me feel some symptoms.

I will post with the news when I receive it, until then I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed!!

Congrats on your BFP's!!!

Hi Shansy
First a big congratulations on your BFP! Sorry to jump in but I thought this site was great and I looked at it every time I got my HcG results... I attached the first few ranges - they're really big ranges! Lots of positive thoughts! When I had my call from the nurse with the BFP they didn't tell me the number. They only told me two days later after my second test. The nurse said they consider a BFP for anything over 5 and they just want to see it over 50. I think you're fine :-) Lots of positive thoughts!!

Good luck on Friday. Let us know how you make out.

That info you gave in awesome. When I got my results back I had found that one too. I referred to it often. I guess it kept me sane. :)

Take care everyone and lots of postive thoughts for you Shansy.

Hi everyone,

Well my 2nd beta came in at 260 today (16dp3dt) compared to Monday's 57 (12dp3dt), so it did more than double every 48 hours!! I am very excited although the nurse said I am still not out of the woods yet b/c of my initial beta at 57- she said that since it started out that way it may not be a good pregnancy... do you agree with this??? or do you think she just has to say this??? It felt like she was raining on my parade just a bit.

Thank you ladies sooooooo much for your info. and support, it means the world when you are going through these stressful times!! I hope to be able to confidently join this board soon. I go back next Tuesday for beta #3...please keep your fingers crossed for me. :)

Shansy -

Great news! Congratulations.

I have noticed a really big difference with the way the re nurses proceed in a pregnancy. They are much different then the ob nurses who would never dare mention something could go wrong. After my u/s on Monday and we saw the 2 sacs and the 2 yokes the nurse was very polite and offered her congratulations however she was sure to tell us that there is always a possibility we could lose one. I don't think they mean to be insensitive to our feelings I think they are just trying to keep us from getting too excited since it is still very early.

I am very happy for you and will keep my fingers crossed for your next beta test on Tuesday. Rest and take care of yourself you need it and you deserve it.

Let us know how you are doing and again Congratulations.

Take care,
Liz

Hi everyone,

Well my 3rd beta came in at 1063 up from 260 four days ago, so I think this is pretty good...although I am not convinced yet that I can celebrate. I go back on Saturday for Beta#4 and then my first u/s is on Tues., Sept. 5th... I will be 6w2d, however I don't think that is really accurate as I believe my embie(s) were a late implant. Just wanted to update you.

Hope all is going well with you guys...

Hi Shansy-

Thank you so much for the update.

Congrats on the good hcg level!

I know you are nervous but try to relax. Yeah easier said then done I understand. I am constantly nervous and worrying about everything. I really do try to live one day at a time and keep praying everything will work out!

Take care of yourself and let me know how you make out.

Liz
