Betas are still climbing! Up to 7491 at 23dpo. I have a hunch there are two in there... But there's no way to know until ultrasound on June 22. I cannot wait.
Beta tomorrow. Hoping for a nice strong number tomorrow.
Tonight we had a double rainbow over our house. One was really bright the other faint that disappeared quickly. Hopefully our little rainbow baby sticks around. I am taking it as a good sign.
623! Moving right along. Feeling so much better about this cycle. Doubling time about 42 hrs. So that is also great. Now we just have to make it through the last beta and ultrasound before I think we really may end up pregnant. Of course that is when my fear about prematurity will kick in. Good times.
I just got back. They found the heartbeat right away, and I got to hear it! For some reason I didn't think you could hear it this early? It took me off guard, and I immediately fell to pieces. I basically bawled the entire 45 minutes I was there which I was just not expecting to do. My absolute favorite nurse teared up with me and gave me a gigantic hug which was just amazing. And I was cleared for sex! Finally! Going back on the 23rd, then a week or two later before I'm released.

I would be lying if I said I did not google identical twin chances with ivf. Chances are low but still in the back of my mind. Makes us very happy that we didn't cave to our stress and put two in.

FTR, I went from 319 to well over 1000 (though it was more than 48 hours between draws) and I have one healthy (and potentially viable!!) baby in there.

DW had high betas with a SET and there's only one baby in there. Fx for your ultrasound!
The doctors seemed happy with that I go back for another beta on Sunday. I really just can't wait for my u/s which I think is the w/o the 22nd- I think I will feel a lot less anxious at that point!
I have a scan on Monday at 7w1d to check progress, and I just got off the phone with the geneticist to talk about the CVS. She is so nice, and everyone at the hospital is super nice, but it will be weird to see familiar faces associated with such bad experiences. Luckily I've been up to the fetal medicine unit since (my therapist is based there) so I likely won't have a nervous breakdown. Right now I just feel all kinds of sick. I had it bad with V and I think I have it worse with this one. I'm trying to make my H suffer as much as me, but it's not easy! (devil)
Beta #3 1221. Doubling time is 49 hrs. So this one seems to be a sticky one. But like swiftly I will not be feel good until the ultrasound. Scheduled for 6/29.
I'm mainly freaked out because twice now (two separate nights- a few days apart) I have woken up with really bad cramp pains (like doubled over on the floor pain, maybe I'm a wuss). No bleeding so RE isn't worried, but it terrifies me. Then again, it could just be gas (lovely).

Negative nellie: My post-ultrasound confidence lasted about five days before I started freaking out about the next ultrasound.
Pregnancy is causing me more anxiety than probably anything I've experienced before. Which I guess makes sense, but damn, I'd love to relax and be excited.

I'm sure I'll be the same way! I just want to know that it's not ectopic or something.

5 days is actually pretty good! I know this won't help at this stage and it seems so far away, but once you're able to feel baby move, you can hopefully start to relax a little.
