HcG is 613

in TTC after 35

I posted earlier this week about BFP with 2 home pregnancy test (Sunday & Monday) then a urine test by my general physician Monday.

All week I debated on whether to go to RE to have blood work done. I read your advice (in previous posting) and I decided to make the appointment. RE's office saw me this morning for blood work and called with results. However since I did this on my own I'm not sure where I should be with number. Although nurse said numbers were good.

I plan to do more blood work on Monday so we have something to compare it to. Some charts say 4 weeks and others put me at 5 weeks.  Either way that number is sooooo much better than when I underwent ivf in Oct/Nov.

Still trying to obsorb everything that is happening. I want to tell friends but since the last miscarriage I'm VERY cautious. We have told our immediate family.

When is it safe to tell everyone?

    Congrats again.

     

    Honestly, we never tell people before the first tri ends.  I've had two m/c's and it's just easier this way.

    Congratulations!  Good luck with your second beta and I hope everything is growing perfectly.  I think waiting until 13 weeks is the safest way to go even if you've never had a M/C, but if you can't wait that long, I would at least wait until you have a strong heartbeat
    I give up trying to get a ticker.  I have a DD that is 2.5 years old and is awesome.  Maybe I'll add a quote to distinguish myself.  Hmmm.  How about...

    613 is great!  What was your number last time- 15?  Waaay different.  I told our family after I saw the HB twice.  It was probably about 10-11 weeks.  I tried to wait until 13 weeks but I couldn't make it!

    Congrats!

    Congrats and that is a great number!

     We didn't tell anyone, with our very first pg (which ended in m/c), until after my d&c.  Subsequent pg's didn't tell anyone right away either.  With both successful pg's we waited until the end of the first trimester when we heard the h/b on the doppler in the OB's office.

    Congrats on the great numbers!

     I understand how you are feeling cautious.  I told everyone as soon as we found our we were pg, the first time and it ended at week 8.  I had to make painful phone calls to let people know what happened.  We thought we'd be cautious the next time, but we weren't, I told my mom who, of course, told everyone anyway.  We told our closest friends and co-workers.  I felt that I had to think positive and not worry about it happening again and also, I'd end up telling everyone I had a m/c anyway, so why not let them know?  But you have to do what you have to do.
