My beta test was 49 today, which seems really low so I don't want to get too excited yet. The nurse said it's a good number as long as it continues to increase - I guess I need to think positive thoughts. I have my second beta test on Monday. I am in disbelief that the first IUI actually worked. I didn't think I would ever get pregnant.

Thanks for the good wishes everyone! I went to acupuncture this afternoon so now I feel like maybe I have a little extra boost of sticky-ness for a good number on Monday.
Thanks @Samuelismomma! Today's I was at 151. The nurse said it's a good increase but the way she said it makes me wonder if they wanted to see it higher than that. I have another beta next Monday and an u/s in 3 weeks. I can't believe they can see/hear something that soon - I think that's when it will become real.
Wells it's doubling that's what is important! Good luck on your next beta , once they are over 1200 it can take 3 days to double:) I will keep looking for an update:) so happy for you!
@stellasoo If its really worrying you, you could always lurk on or ask the 1st or 2nd tri boards if any of them had low betas to begin with. I hope Monday comes quickly for you. Good Luck!
