Okay, friends. I caved. Somehow going into this weekend, I just felt like I needed some reassurance. Maybe it was because my fertility clinic is closing as of today for two weeks for the Easter holiday. Two weeks is a long time! Maybe it's because we plan to start telling some people next weekend. Maybe I was just doubting my symptoms too much. Maybe it was because I was doing errands right next to the lab where I do my blood work. Whatever the reason, DH and I decided I should test my beta again today. Fortunately I have a standing order for hcg testing at the lab, so I can go in anytime to do my blood work.
And, my beta came back at 5455!
Which is perfect (as far as I can tell) for 5 weeks along. And it has definitely doubled well enough since our last test. In fact, the doubling calculators work it out to a 41 hour doubling time, which I think sounds great.
It definitely brought me reassurance, and I feel confident that I can make it through the next 3 weeks until our ultrasound knowing that there is a little baby growing away inside of me. Hooray!!!!!!
Tomorrow is my tea party and I've been madly getting ready. I can't wait to share pictures. Happy Friday everyone!
Wonderful news! I'm so happy that baby is doing so well. I know it's a long wait until the first ultrasound, but I hope it flies by quickly for you. :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats! So happy for you! Try to relax and not stress too much these next 3 weeks. Waiting for that first ultrasound is ROUGH!
