Yesterday was so stressful. The hospital's machines broke so my RE never got my latest beta results. I called my RE early this morning and finally got my results. It went up to 176 from 70. I just can't believe it. The nurse said it was a great rise and that I don't need to do anymore betas. I'm a little nervous about that, but I trust that they know what they're doing. I had more cramping yesterday evening and had some brown discharge which really scared me. I called the on-call nurse and she said it could be good or bad, evidently it might be from late implantation. I'm supposed to just watch everything closely. I have my first ultrasound scheduled for October 25 7am. It's going to be a long two weeks.
Thank you all for being such amazing IF sisters to me. I apologize for not commenting lately on your blogs, it's been kind of a stressful week to say the least. Thank you again for all your comments and prayers, I wouldn't be here without all of you. Lots of love!

I'm beaming!!! That is awesome. I would be nervous too not getting anymore betas! Hope the next 2 weeks go well!!
ReplyDeleteWoooohooo! Sounds like exactly what happened to me. This is wonderful news. I know how stressful waiting for the first ultrasound is-- trust me, I remember! But try to relax and take it easy as much as possible. I had brown discharge too (and bleeding at first!) and, as you know, everything turned out fine. I have an almost 1 year old to show for it. ;) SO HAPPY FOR YOU!
ReplyDeleteWoooo hoooooo!!! I've heard funky beta stories before, but I knew yesterday would not have been the time to bring them up - even though I had so much hope for you.
ReplyDeleteHope the next two weeks FLY by!!!
HUGS!!!
Whew! Thank goodness. Congratulations on the great rise!
ReplyDeleteYAY!
ReplyDeleteWOO-HOO!!!! AWESOME WONDERFUL news!!!!!!! SO HAPPY for you, Congratulations:)
ReplyDeleteYeah for such a great rise in your beta!! I had similar betas and after two my dr did not think another one was necessary either -- when I got nervous between them and my u/s (as it was a 3 week wait), I called and ask for another beta for reassurance. I would call for another one if that will help you....
ReplyDeletecongrats! Sounds like you just had a late implanter.
ReplyDeleteI literally want to do cartwheels for you Melissa! I am so freaking excited about this! They didn't do a beta for me after it doubled either and I know how stressful the first few weeks are. As long as the discharge was brown I think you are completely fine. It's totally normal and so is the cramping. I had cramping for the entire first trimester and it was always freaking me out. I am so so so excited for you!!!! Can't wait for the 25th when you get to see your miracle(s) for the first time!
ReplyDeletecongrats on the awesome beta! i'll keep everything crossed for you! hope the next 2 weeks fly by, if that's even possible!
ReplyDeleteWOOOOOHOOOOO! So happy for your Melissa! Congratulations! Here's to a sticky 8 months or so. xox
