Thank you so much for checking on me! I woke up today and realized that I didn't want to ruin a fun outing with my boys just WAITING for the phone call with my number, so I decided to skip it. I'll go in Monday or Tuesday and update then. I have some good symptoms - boobs are insanely painful, very tired, and my stomach is very sour, so that's helping me keep my chin up. Thank you again! You all are so nice!!!

You are such a sweetheart, and you've been through so much too. Ugh. Do the doctors have any idea why your transfers aren't sticking? What's your plan for what comes next?

And trust me, I'm not patient. But the last 4 weeks have been so so hard, I just wanted a day without too much worry. At some point I'm going to have to just let it go and hope for the best, so I'm trying to embrace that. I will definitely update. Again, thank you so much. It means a lot to have someone rooting for me!!

Sorry to cut and paste but I'm all worked up right now:

So the nurse just called and was all "Well, it's *close* to what we want to see."

Beta is 561, which is a doubling time of 54 hours from my last beta of 120 on Wednesday the 14th. So now we have:

3/12/12 (8DP5DT, 13 DPO): 55
3/14/12 (10DP5DT, 15 DPO): 120
3/19/12 (15DP5DT, 20 DPO): 561

When I told the nurse it was right in-between 48 and 72 hours, she was like "Yes, great - everything looks good." Then WTF about saying "close to what we want to see?" I freaking HATE the nurses I'm working with. Really hate them at this point.

Back on Thursday the 22nd for one more beta and my first ultrasound.

What do you guys think? Should I relax? I feel like I've been hit with an adrenalin hammer. When you compare my 5-week beta with others online, it's NOTHING. Most people are at least 1,000 - that's the lowest I saw. I have been doing so well, and now I feel like sh**. :-(

Sorry for the drama guys. I just don't know what to do with myself right now...

I think as long as its rising, that's a GOOD sign. Leveling off or dropping would be bad.

Hang in there...only 9 more months to go! Happy Wink

As I posted on your other thread, my 8dp and 10 dp numbers were exactly like yours. I don't remember what my 3rd beta was - i think close to yours, too, but can check my records at work tomorrow - but I remember that it levelled off. It only doubles every 48 hours the first few days and then takes longer to double.

Don't stress, those numbers look fine to me. My beta's are in my siggie, they were EXTREMELY low, I actually scoured the net looking for numbers as low as my first one which ended well and struggled to find only a couple.......BUT.......my handsome prince is perfect and definitely here and not a miscarriage like my nurse told me to expect :( They say it's not really what the numbers are to start with, it's what they do afterwards, ie. the doubling. They look to me like they are heading in the right direction, just relax and enjoy.

Thank you everyone! I'm trying to keep the faith. Zora, just post your number if it was REALLY similar to mine, otherwise just tell me you can't find it. :-) Will keep breathing, keep counting my blessings, and update on Thursday with (hopefully) good news. Thanks again ladies!

I checked my records, and I had my 3rd and 4th betas done on day 12 and 20, so difficult to compare.

This article, however, gave me lots of comfort while I was waiting for my first u/s: http://humrep.oxfordjournals.org/content/17/7/1901.full I did not bother reading it in full, but focused on Figure 2 and where my 10dp5dt beta put me on the graph (the article talks about betas measured at 12 days post day 3 transfers, which is an equivalent of 10dp5dt).

It's crazy how if we weren't doing IVF etc.. we probably wouldn't be so aware of Beta numbers! My second son was IVF and my second Beta did NOT double at all, I never asked what the third or fourth Beta was I was just so damn happy to be pregnant..and though it DID NOT double, he was a full term almost 9 pounder!

What does Dr. Google say? Then again Google is not always your friend, everytime I got a BFN on day 7 I obsessed over sucess stories despite getting a BFN on an HPT, I know better for the next cycle ; )

I pray that you will be fine, why does this have to be so hard : (
