BETA BETA BETA!

I feel like I've been waiting forever for my first beta date to arrive.  Beta results always seem to bring both reassurance and fear.  I already knew I was chemically pregnant.  The lines on my hpts continued to darken.  Quantifying that line is reassuring but nothing will really reassure me until the ultrasound.

The RE was the one who actually called to give me the results.   This was a first and something I am trying not to read into, as usually it is a nurse who calls with results.  It probably means nothing, just unusual.  He said I have a nice, good number.  167 at 10dp5dt (compared to 124 at 9dp5dt IVF#1 and 67 at 9dp6dFET, both of which doubled appropriately).  He said he had a good feeling about this one.  I hope he is right.  So far so good, but it is early.

48 hours from beta #1 will be Saturday.  Even though my local clinic does blood draws on Saturday, I'm not sure when my clinic would actually get the results and when I would get the call, so I'm going to wait until Monday for beta #2.  That actually sounds better to me than 48 hours.  For some reason waiting longer in between betas makes me feel like I will be getting more accurate results.  Doubling seems too easy in 48 hours.  Let's see if this pregnancy is still on track after 96 hours.  More reassurance.  Less days of fear in between beta #2 and the ultrasound.
