Pregnant after IF

BFP with DE...and super nervous!

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!

  • Congrats! My betas were way lower than that (see siggie) but I'm not sure how they compare since the dpt could be different. You could compare your numbers at betabase.info. Welcome to the board!

  • 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!
