Question re: Numbers and Beta Tests

Hey guys! So I'm a moron and don't have any clue how y'all are getting those numbers and beta tests. Is it because you were under medical care? I am so paranoid with this pregnancy, I would love to have tests done to calm me the f*** down.

    My tests were done to check progesterone because of past miscarriage and increasingly odd post-ovulation spotting. With the first test the lab made an error and ran hcg, so my doctor gave me the option for the 48hr check on those.

    I promise you, it hasn't done much to calm me the f*** down ;) I was much more calm with my first pregnancy, lol.

    @NoeliaV Thank you for the background! I am really clueless. My DD came with a ton of m/s so I always felt pregnant. Now I'm just tired and emotional... And hungry for Doritos.

    My tests are because I went through IVF and I'm seeing an Reproductive Endocrinologist.  I haven't been released to a regular OB yet.  Honestly all the early testing has just made me more anxious and I wish I wasn't having it.

    @sunshine1810 I guess the grass is always greener. I feel lost because I don't feel like I used to when I was pregnant with DD. Kaiser basically told me to STFU and read its website. So here I am clueless as f***.

    @GASuzuki, I think the grass is always greener unfortunately! A few of my friends have said they had a completely different pregnancy the 2nd time around then they did the first.  Hopefully it's just normal!

    God, I hope so. I feel like a completely paranoid person. But I hope we are both here in 2nd Tri laughing about how crazy I was!

    @GASuzuki, I have Kaiser, too. Since I had a chemical pregnancy last month, they had me come in for beta testing. I had two blood tests, they saw that the numbers were normal and doubling and that was that. I think they only order the tests if there is a history of miscarrying or, as in my case, I *just* had a miscarriage. I really think they weren't sure I was pregnant again when I called to schedule my first appointment and they probably wouldn't have ordered the tests otherwise.

    Agree with PPs. Betas CAUSE anxiety. They don't do a whole lot to ease them. I've had great betas in the past and still miscarried, so they are only one hurdle out of many for those of us with a history of loss, infertility, or high risk.

    Also, we can say FUCK on this board. No need for F***!
