@BookishMomma I'm so glad that they finally called --- and with GOOD news! YAY! I'm sorry that you're concerned about the doubling times, but I think it's a great sign that your RE is pleased with them. The great news is they ARE rising!!!!!!!! What a great Monday!
ETA: Do they want you to come back in again, or wait for your u/s?
@hmr110913 No more betas. We'll wait for my u/s next week, which is scheduled for Tuesday, 11/11.
Glad to see rising numbers and that they are happy with the results. Thinking of you and your laid back babe with many wishes for a good appointment next week.
I'm thinking positive for you! I also know it's going to be a looooong wait for that ultrasound. Today you are pregnant and this whole forum is sending sticking thoughts to your little one!

Please, PLEASE stick this time!!!!
I'm glad to see your betas are still rising. I have been thinking of you since your first set and it made me wonder what mine might have been if I had them drawn more than twice. My first doubling time was 65 hours... definitely slower than yours. So who knows what mine would have been if I had them drawn 2-3 more times. And yet, my little guy has been anywhere from 2-5 days ahead in growth on my 4 ultrasounds. When is your first u/s scheduled for?
@bananaboat05 My ultrasound will be one week from tomorrow, on 11/11. I'll be 7 weeks from LMP at that point.
That's a girl. Hold on to the hope for your baby. We are here with you. When is the next draw?
@chicagojackie I'm not getting another draw and, actually, I'm kind of relieved about that. My first ultrasound is scheduled for a week from tomorrow, when I'll be 7 weeks from LMP.
today you are pregnant and your doctor is not concerned about the betas. ((hugs)) mama. sometimes its a curse to have this much knowledge about pregnancy.

^^This - all of this! Congratulations on rising betas!!!!! ((hugs)) for the stress.
@bookishmomma that IS good news. If the RE feels you are looking good that is what you should go with. Remember that those of us posting the betas here are two very self-selecting populations--moms with TEXTBOOK rising betas and moms having a disaster. Everyone else goes in between, with the majority skewed towards normal, statistically. You know the scenarios deep down and backwards and forwards--the mom with the "perfect" betas who still has a loss and the mom with the "disaster" betas who goes on to have a healthy kid, and the mom with the "inbetween" betas who's in the second trimester, whatever. Those stories don't ultimately matter because you are your own case.
Fingers crossed that you get a good look at this little stinker bean on the ultrasound next week.

So excited to see rising numbers, especially that your RE is happy with them I know that feeling of relief at no more betas!! Phew!! Your ultrasound next week will show your beautiful little one who is just growing at his/her perfect pace!
I am just so happy that it went up! I'm gonna think positive things for you! It's weird I was at the RE this morning and waiting for a nurse and I accidentally overheard them tell a lady who had slow rising betas that they were optimistic. I said a little prayer for her right there. Can't wait to hear about your u/s!
.Became a mama to my sweet little boy after 3 years of waiting and praying in October '12.

It's good that your RE is satisfied with the numbers - I know it's gotta be a little concerning that it's not as high as you hoped, but as long as the Drs aren't concerned, I wouldn't be either (easier said than done) FX for your u/s next week!! I'll be stalking you again!!
Sending many T&Ps your way. I know it's hard to stay positive sometimes, but I would definately follow your RE's lead and try to look at the bright side until you are told otherwise. I'll be thinking about you!
