My first Bhcg was yesterday.
I got the call from the nurse that afternoon. Because I cheated, I already knew what the answer (pregnant, not pregnant or maybe) was. I knew I was pregnant, just not how pregnant. More than anything I did not want her to say, "For now, let's just be cautiously optimistic." So when she said, "Congratulations, you're pregnant." I quickly said, "What is the number?" In my mind it went, WHAT IS THE NUMBER, JUST TELL ME THE NUMBER!!
I didn't tell them that I cheated and already knew.
My hcg level was 124. They want to see over 50 at the first beta, 9dp5dt.
Of course, I am still cautiously optimistic. My hcg levels still have to double. The embryo still has to grow. And stay put. And have a beating heart. Whew, I will try to take this one day at a time.
We talked about my horrible breakout, which may or may not be caused by high levels of estrogen. They decreased my dose of estrace to 2mg once a day. I hope that helps.
As for symptoms, I am experiencing some cramping on and off. Some moments I don't feel pregnant at all. My boobs aren't sore. At night they feel full and hard, but not sore. Yesterday I was tired. What I mean is, I really don't have any symptoms.

So happy for you!!
Woohoo, such exciting news!
CONGRATS! I had more symptoms from my trigger than I ever had with my BFP and my numbers were high. So no symptoms no drama's. My main issues exhaustion and ()() growing. But that is one hell of a first number!
I didn't have symptoms either until a few days post-beta when my boobs finally were a little sore, and I didn't get m/s until 6w4d.
What I'm saying is that you don't need symptoms to be FRICKIN PREGNANT!!! CONGRATS!!!! :)
I didn't feel anything until 6 weeks or so. I just felt bloated and constipated from the PIO.
Congrats on that beta. Great number!
Screw symptoms. You're totally knocked up! That's a great number, congrats!
Oh my God!!! This is super fantastic news!!! So so happy!!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! So exciting!!! Don't worry about the early symptoms or lack thereof... they come and go! Wishing you the best!!!
woohoo - great first beta numbers!
My symptoms kicked in at about 5.5weeks, before that i was just a little more tired!
That's AWESOME!!!!!
YAYAYAYAYAY!!!
Yay!!! So exciting!! I had no symptoms until about 6 weeks, and at 12 weeks, I still don't have that many except for some serious hunger and fuller boobs. No sore boobs, no nausea, no morning sickness, nothing... It just really really depends. Congrats!!!!!!
