beta

[judecorp]

Beta was 260. Or maybe it was 270. I was a little flustered. I think 260, though. I had to ask a second time. I think I said, "Can you tell me that number again because I was totally not paying attention?" and the nurse laughed and said I was cute. I said, "No way, just telling the truth."

Wow, they are way nicer to you on the phone when you are pregnant.

Also, they apparently don't do repeat betas at my clinic unless your intial is under 100. Most places do 2 or 3. They said I could ask for another if I am feeling like I need one. They do not know how neurotic I am. HA! (Seriously, though, I am trying not to ask for one.) Ultrasound on the 7th (5w6d). Good times.

I go out of town for a couple of days to visit my parents, skim posts when I get back, and totally miss the Big News? *beats head on desk*

If you ever have a hard time getting to sleep one night, give me a call and I will totally explain all of the numbers for you. ;)

Heh. I'm already sitting here wondering if I should ask for a second beta for Friday.

miss an LJ day and already you're behind on the news, sheesh. I read this and was like "holy what? 5w6d???? ;-)

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

No crying! Just lots of good happies! And of course let me rub your lucky belly for extra luck!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Keep your fingers crossed!!

[mayna.livejournal.com]

I know! It's like a happy ending to a dramatic fairy tale. Yay *tear*

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Well, it's up there. You figure that most of those early pregnancy tests can read levels of around 25 or so... and they say the numbers double every 2-3 days... so things seem to be progressing nicely now.

[rainbow-slinky.livejournal.com]

If they do it upon request and if it would make you feel better, I think 2 beta tests isn't unreasonable!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

SCARY!! I've been pregnant for like 5 minutes and I've already gone off on Jen!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Awwwh! I hope I wasn't TOO dramatic.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Dude, I am SOOO jazzed about your cycle. So jazzed. Go kick its butt!!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Exactly. I had a dream that it was like 500+ and THAT was scary! This is much more manageable and well within the range of normal for 14dpo. Two tops. I can totally deal.
