Hi ladies, I don't know if any of you remember me - I've been on the IF board for several years. I didn't post a BFP there because I haven't been very active lately (better for me to keep my mind off anything baby-related), so I'm cautiously dipping my toes in over here. If any IF ladies are lurking, thank you so much for everything over the years!
My first beta on Friday was 237 and the second today was 517. The nurse said they are fine with it although I think it should be higher... I'm super nervous because I don't know if I could handle another loss and have been at this for so long I just really want this to be it. My next beta is Thurs. Any thoughts on my numbers are welcome!
Thanks ladies!
Re: BFP with DE...and super nervous!
Congrats! Your numbers look great!
I know its hard, but don't worry and try to remember the eggs this time were better than they've ever been. It will turn out wonderfully for you!
After two losses, third time was a charm.

Unexplained Infertility
After two Clomid cycles, three injectable IUI cycles, two IVFs, two miscarriages, and one lap surgery, IVF #2 has brought us our little boy!
TTC #2
After months of being postponed or cancelled, FET #1.3 (Natural FET) brought us twin girls!
I recognize you from IF!
Congrats!! I think those are good numbers - higher than my first beta!
Thanks for the warm welcome!
My concern with the betas was that the second beta was drawn after 3 days (not 2) so I felt like it should have increased one and a half times, but it didn't. I guess I'll see what happens with my next beta on Thursday!
