Good news ladies!
Beta #3: 1208 (18dpo) - it more than doubled from Thursday's number!
The nurse said it looked good and we proceeded to schedule my first u/s (!) for March 24. That should put me right smack in the mid-7 week mark. I'm sure waiting for these betas will be nothing compared to the wait for this u/s! For the record, I have never seen a yolk sac/baby, anything on an u/s - all other times I had m/c before getting the crotch cam so all I've seen is all black... this will literally be our first time and I think I might just faint!
Please continue to keep us in your prayers, I have felt wonderful knowing that I have all of you supporting me in prayer and in your wonderful comments of encouragement - how funny that our God is a 'high tech' God eh? That He's using this blogging medium to bring together people like us - who have had similar life experiences and need the support and prayers? Awesome!
I'm floating on Cloud 9 right now and I hope I stay this way after March 24th :)
Symptom watch:
Smells are starting to make its appearance - I was on my way home from brunch with my parents and picked up a chicken carbo.nara sub for my hubby (he was studying for a finance exam) - and one whiff of it in the car totally grossed me out. Then a few times during cooking and also when we went over for potluck at my in-laws on Sunday - the food I had made (which was delish) was giving me waves of gag-ness on the car ride up.
Still tired ALL the time. I wake up tired, want to take a nap during the day, (which - btw, I took one this past Saturday pm and it was GLORIOUS - just fantastic!) - just low energy over all.
Frequent trips to the bathroom (both 1 and 2 actually) - and lately around 3 or 4 am-ish (just #1 LOL).
Sorrre bbs. Also enlarged aerolas (like holy saucers -- sorry for the visual) and a few darker veins too.
The cramps from last week have worn off - at least for now - but I will get the odd 'sensation' here and there but it may just be gas, who knows for sure ;)
What fantastic news! I'm so happy for you and I can't wait to hear all about it on 3/24!
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for you! I will cross and double cross my fingers! I have a feeling that everything will work out this time!! Looking forward to the updates!!!
ReplyDeleteAnother AWESOME beta and your symptoms sound right on track! I really am hoping that this will be it for you! I wish we could just skip a bunch of March and get that US already.
ReplyDeleteI have been checking all day to see how things went. So so so happy to hear good news! Praying things continue being positive and you get to enjoy every bit of your appt on the 24th!

ReplyDeleteYay! I feel like I need to apologize for my previous comment that said "just think--if they did a third beta, it would be in the thousands!". I am so glad that this draw was in the thousands...but I'm sorry that you had to survive a few days of concern to get here. I'm continuing to pray for you!
