Hi there,

After my spotting scare Tuesday a.m., I had betas drawn Wednesday and today. Finally, finally got the results from my first beta, and according to my doc, they're right where they should be! The physician's assistant told me they're in the 5000s -- does that sound right to all of you? Not that I'm second-guessing -- I just don't have the expertise many of you do. ;)

I'll get the results of my second beta on Monday (I'm supposed to wait??), then might go in for an u/s late next week. I would oh-so appreciate the peace of mind of an earlier u/s... although I was really looking forward to seeing a little bean with arms and legs at 8w.

I've been an emotional wreck this week, but at least today the tears are happy tears. :) I'm beginning to feel more confident again, like this is really happening!

Thank you so, so much for your ongoing support and prayers.

Big hugs,

yay Andrea! So glad that your numbers are looking good. Can't tell you from my own experience if you're right one since my betas were drawn during my 4th week - but there is a website that will tell you - maybe one of the other ladies has it.


So glad that your tears are a bit more joyful today! Hugs!! Being a PAL is so hard! Looking forward to hearing your numbers from Today - is there any way they could have them ready to give you this afternoon? Waiting a whole weekend would drive me insane too! :)


Hugs!!!

Yes, it is really happening!!
I'm glad you are starting to enjoy the pregnancy too!
I'm sorry I can't answer your questions but he truth is I never ask about my numbers only because I know how much information can I handle and I would be crazy over the internet looking for answers!!
As long as I can see my little bean and my doctor takes care of me and assures me everything is OK, I would be OK too.
Looking forward to your next u/s update!!!
