  ME!! In fact my numbers only increased by 55% in three days between beta 1 and 2, my following betas did double but barely. I've also had chemical pregnancies prior so I had no hope with this pregnancy, but things turned around and here I am! I realize stories Iike mine are uncommon but they do happen, best of luck to you! (It was also our only embryo so I understand the added stress)

  Try to focus on the fact that they increased. You might just have a slow starter in there
  Keep us posted on today's results and good luck!!

  Thank you! It took quite a bit of stress off. My poor husband was so relieved. He said he was putting on a strong front for me but was freaking out. I guess this is getting us ready for the next 18 yes. .
