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.

Yeah, I am really pleased about the number. It was good and high and showed that things had been happening, without being SO high that I got really, really scared. The nurse seemed really pleased, too.

I actually ended up asking for a repeat with a progesterone check since my doctor's office doesn't check progesterone and I've been having some cramping. I am going on Monday. Here's hoping the number is still good! (But I totally know what you mean about unnecessary worrying, too.)

Boy would be lovely but I think we're both kind of pulling for Team Pink. We'll have to see.

We were both kind of pulling for Team Pink, too! We're both really excited, though. Good luck with the progesterone check.

Thank you!
