TTC after 35

XP: Beta #2

Beta 1 = 58
Beta 2 = 114 

That's a doubling time of 49 hours, or just 2 points shy of perfect doubling.

I was giddy when the nurse called to update me. They she said my RE wants me to come back tomorrow for one more test to see how much it increases.

Bummer. My poor veins. It's getting harder and harder to find a good place to get blood from me. Not to mention the $119 they charge for every Beta. Oh well, I am not complaining. I am sure he just wanted to get one more in before the weekend and not wait 4 days until Monday.

I know it is still early, but today... I am pregnant!

I guess it is time to "graduate" and move on over to PG>35 but that seems so weird to me. 

Single Mother by Choice. Life didn't work out the way I planned so I did it on my own. IUI #s 1-3, unmedicated = BFN, IUI #s 4-6, 50mg Clomid, Ovidrel = BFN IVF #1: 23R, 20M, 17F. 5 day transfer 2 blasts. 2 Snowbabies BFP 6dp5dt, Beta #1 7dp5dt = 58, Beta #2 9dp5dt = 114, Beta #3 10dp5dt = 187 1st Ultrasound = 5/3, not much to see yet. 2nd Ultrasound = 5/17, TWINS!!!

  • I'd be irritated about the $119, too, but I suppose the irritation will quickly melt away if you see the same upward trend! Yay for you (ALL of you! :) )
