3rd beta is in!
It was 404 today. It still isn't doubling every 48 hours which is the ideal scenario, but it is increasing at the same steady rate of every 59 hours or 75% increase every 48 hours. My RE says that it is fine. I'm not jumping for joy because it wasn't quite the spectacular rise that I was hoping for to make me feel completely relaxed and comfortable, but I'm not completely stressed out either. When I talked to the nurse, I didn't have access to a calculator to calculate my doubling time, so I was quizzing her about how good it REALLY was. Anyway, she assured me that it was a nice steady rate and that it looks good, so no more bloodwork is needed and she scheduled my first sonogram for Tues, May 29. About 2 minutes after hanging up, she called me back and said that she could sense that I was feeling pretty nervous so they moved my sono up to Fri the 25th! Yay! This is my favorite nurse by the way :). I'll be 6weeks3days on the 25th and she warned me that it may be too early to see the heartbeat but I know from years of message board experience that most women are able to see the heartbeat by then. So, now we have a long wait ahead of us! This one will be the longest of all, I'm sure! Wish us luck!

Hi Jennifer!
I am glad to see that your numbers are speeding up. That is a good sign! I knowthat it is a loooong wait until that first US but it really will go by quickly. We were able to see two heart beats at 6w 0d and I am sure that you will too! Take care and please tell out group that I said Hello!
