So the nurse called at 1:40, but meant to call the lab and that was the longest hour+ waiting for the next call. Then she proceeded to tell me all about how they almost lost my labs and that she was on hold for 20 min. See how annoying all that was when I know all of y'all have skimmed over this to get to the beta #!!! Anyway, beta 1 was 63, beta 2 is 119.....the nurse said they are pleased with the number, I wanted something in the 200s but then hey today I am pregnant and I haven't been able to say that for 10 months since my CP. they didn't mention repeating the beta and I am ok with that bc that is just one more thing to stress about. U/S is set for feb 21st at 9am!!!!!!!! Oh and I did do the beta 46.5 hours apart. I might find one of those calculator websites and see what it says. If I have time between all my peeps that are waiting for an update!

Seriously though, congrats on another great beta, it sounds like you are on your way. I didn't do a 3rd beta either, went straight to u/s, so that's a really good sign.
Time to do the happy dance!
If I could, I'd have a celebratory drink in your honor, and believe me I'd love to, since it's Mardi Gras time over here and we're doing girls night at the parades. Certain ones start 3 blocks from my house and tonight is one of those nights, with two of our girlfriends riding.
Sorry to get on a tangent there. Go celebrate mama. Congrats again!
This looks great!!! I am sorry for the mix up, but glad you got good news. I'm sure you cannot wait for that u/s!!! Can you request another follow up beta for peace of mind?
