I totally had the same freak out moment that you did today....

I was sitting down having a pretty stern conversation with one of my employees and I felt the gush....you know the one that feels like AF is heavy and here to stay. Not like any cm I have had since I got pg.  I couldnt get up in the middle of the conversation....so I had to kinda cut it short and I didnt even discuss everything I wanted to talk with her about! I dashed to the bathroom only to find......

absolutely nothing! Just a little watery CM. I had myself all talked up for m/c by the time I made it to the bathroom!

I hate this.... I sooo want to be able to relax.  I spent about an hour today trying to think of a way to sucker my doctor into ordering more betas... or changing my u/s earlier.... when I know I should keep my 8 week 3 day u/s.

Grrr.

Otherwise how are you feeling???

I was doing great until saturday when I got my 2nd beta back.....only increased 70% in exactly 48 hrs.....but I was in the higher #s (over 1200) and I guess it can take longer for them to double the higher they get! They werent worried....but of course I am. I go back in on Wednesday for a 3rd draw and they said I should be between 4000-5000 then. My clinic won't do an u/s until hcg is over 5000.

I dont have another appointment until the 24th of Aug....I will be 9 weeks then. OB said she will try to get a hb and if cant then will give me an unltrasound....otherwise I may not get one until 20wks! EEEEEEP!

DH and I are planning on getting the 1st tri screening and NT scan done just so I can have an earlier u/s!

I see you commented on the apple juice! I totally didnt think that it would do anything....but it totally works!

I guess kiwi is really good for that,too! If you need something else to try!

I think that I wouldn't freak about your numbers yet... they are looking good overall and you ARE in range.  I think Wednesday will help though.

I think we are going to do an NT scan... but I don't know if my doctor will offer one if I need to ask.  I think we would just feel better. 

I can't imagine not having an u/s until 20 weeks.

I will get my first one at 8 weeks... should have been 6 but I purposefully delayed.... and will get them monthly thereafter.  I think this is because I go to a perinatologist and that is their protocol. 

I will have my fingers crossed for you for Wednesday and will send up some extra prayers:)

We got sent paperwork on the NT scan..... But the test isnt done until 9-13wks.....so you will probably hear about it at your 1st appointment! That is what I would guess. They will probably give you information on it when they 'educate' you on everything else!

Thanks for thinking of me and my #s!
