Beta #3
381
I thought that was a good number but according to my RE's nurse she said that they wanted it to be 389 which would have been a 1.5 x's rise so I am repeating beta on Wed. I guess the numbers aren't quite doubling as they should be but it still did go up. Seriously? Talk about making a person feel discouraged 
UGH - this beta limbo is the worst!!

Re: Beta #3
I'm so sorry you're in beta limbo, but that is SO close to 389! I'm holding out lots of hope for that LO.
It seems to be doubling within every 72 hours, which is perfect. ((hugs))
beta limbo is torture, but it is promising that your numbers keep going up!
i hope you get a great number on wednesday!!!
