Pregnant after 35

First Beta 767 update

They called this morning with the results of my first Beta for some reason the lab was "waiting" until they called to see why it was taking so long. Anyway first came in at 767. She said thats a nice strong number and she's not anticipating that my second one wouldn't increase as needed we'll see of course... just gave my blood at lunch and will get results tomorrow.My progesterone came in at 20.4 which is only slightly over what they wanted so we retested again today.nbsp;This is finally becoming real. I'm overwhelmed by boughts of tears, anxiety, joy, frustration, and fear. I know that's totally normal but whoa, what a rollercoaster of emotions!nbsp;Thanks for all your encouragement last week for me to call into my RE's office instead of my OB. They were nice enough to get me into the rotation there, which also means I can have my first u/s at 6.5 weeks. :

  • Results of second Beta are in. I'm at 1904 which is more than double. I'm so overwhelmed with emotion right now that I keep bursting into tears.
    Progesterone came in at 26.something So no need to supplement. Phew.
    First u/s is the 17th!

    Had my first outburst at work today and stormed out on the verge of tears. Need to get that in check or it's going to be a long 9 months!!
