BETA/HCG Results In
By MalPal85 » Posted Dec. 20, 2018 3:14pm - 268 views - 3 comments
Just got the results from my 2nd blood draw. 12/17/18 was 141 and 12/19/18 was 410 so it more than doubled. So far, so good! Going to get one more blood draw tomorrow morning. They plan to schedule an ultrasound at 6.5 weeks so probably the week of 12/31 or 1/7. Already scheduled my 8-10 week appointment with my Doctor for 1/17. It's starting to feel more real now but I'm still not going to get excited/terrified ;-) until I see that tiny blob on the screen and hear a heartbeat.
Only symptom I have is very sore nipples. Ran my loofa over them in the shower yesterday and it felt like freaking razor blades. Also pretty tired but I wouldn't qualify it as exhausted...yet. Other than that, feeling good.
Pictured pee stick is from 15DPO.

 | Comment from MalPal85 » Posted Dec. 24, 2018 2:59pm Sandy, I’m liking my 3rd BETA too! Another blood draw on Friday and assuming it’s over 6,500 then they will schedule my ultrasound. They said it needs to be at least 6,500 before they will schedule which, if my calculations are correct, it should be over that by Friday. I’ve been much more relaxed recently, thank the Lord! It’s going to suck not having a glass of wine tonight lol. Thanks for checking in on me! Hope all is well with you! Happy Holidays! |
