Susan called with the new beta around lunchtime again. "Another very good beta," she said. And I instantly relaxed.
2181.
So it doubled and then some. It was exactly what I wanted...a good number, but not too low and not TOO high.
But after googling as much as I can, I can't figure out if all 3 stuck or not. I can find blogs with people pregnant with triplets with betas much lower than mine at this point. I can find blogs with people pregnant with twins with betas much higher than mine.
The only thing I'm pretty confident about at this point is that it's *probably* not a singleton.
The next doctor appointment isn't until the first U/S July 9th...so I don't have much to talk about for the next week and a half. That is just to rule out ectopic (and I'm not very concerned about that) and see how many sacs there are.
It is extremely weird being in this position, a bit surreal, since I'm not the one pregnant. I guess I feel how L must have felt all those times. Excited but you don't quite feel part of it because it's not you who's pregnant.
Tonight I miss my babies from last year, because I don't feel a connection yet to my babies that are currently in Gabby's belly.

Beta #2
I was terrified for Friday's beta. I've never doubled before. I actually asked my coworker to listen the message (when the phone rang, I let it go to voicemail). While she did, I took a walk around the entire floor before coming back, afraid of what she might tell me.
It was 177, so I needed 354 to double. Although, it really needs to go a minimum of 2/3, so as long as it was above 300, it would be ok (not great, but ok). Below 300, not.good.
Beta 2 = 413. Yahoooo!
That's twins territory, according to Betabase. OMG.
It would be awesome, but all I want is a healthy take home baby, no matter what.
E2 was 875 and P4 was 38.2 - all good.
My next appointment is the first ultrasound, scheduled for 5/5 (7w1d). I have NOTHING inbetween. It could all go badly, and I wouldn't necessarily know. Then again, I could start spotting any day too. I hate this wait. I'm terrified it's all going to disappear tomorrow. Why can't I enjoy this more? This is what recurrent loss does to you...
Since 5/5 seems so far away, I'm concentrating on making it past 25dpo, the longest I've ever been PG before starting spotting. Today is the equivalent of 17dpo. Can I make it 8 more days?
