Second betas

MsZoeB · December 2011

Well we are officially on our way. I was really pleased with my first numbers (430) but even happier with my second. Taken almost exactly 48 hours later they came back at a 945!!! More than double.

It is strange how good I feel. I remember getting sick around 51/2weeks and I am approaching that date but feel so good. If I didn't know that I was pregnant I wouldn't think anything was up.

Now the decision is when to tell. I posted my dilemma in June's BFP news post below.

Yay congrats! I had no pregnancy symptoms with dd until heartburn in 3rd tri. Maybe you will be lucky too!

Great numbers! I was so sick by 5 weeks 6 days with R, I am waiting for it this time! I have had a few not so great feelings in the morning but otherwise feel good as well.

Does everyone get betas done? I didn't even know what this was until I lurked on TB during my first pg. I have never even been offered a visit until I am between 8-10 weeks. I've had 2 different OB groups too so it seems like standard practice where I go to not be seen until you are further along. I feel like such an outsider with regards to betas because the numbers don't really mean anything to me other than I know they are supposed to keep multiplying.

Yay for doubling! Deciding about when to tell work is a tough one...is your H going to be at either of the functions and maybe he could drink the drinks for you? Or make bathroom runs with them and refill with water or sprite?

Beth, I'm not the authority but I don't think everyone gets their betas done, because I never have before. I assumed it was more common to do if someone has had a loss in the past, but I might be wrong too.

Standard in the IF world. R wasn't from fertility meds but I was on a break cycle so I went to my RE when I got the BFP. This time I just asked to have them done since that is what I know, they told me it wasn't necessary.

I had mine done this pregnancy because I was spotting at 4 weeks, and given my history of miscarriage, they wanted to see if it was a very early loss. Normally I wouldn't be seen until 8 wks.

Good to know. It just always seemed like people had so much for information about their pregnancies than I did. I felt like gosh nothing was happening and the doctors weren't even interested in seeing me!
