Beta #2 = 3936
At least I think that's what she said. I kinda blacked out when she started saying "three thousand..." I mean, that is a high motherf*in number. Like a doubling time of 36 hours. Like shorter than the gold standard of 48 hours.
Wha???? I haven't had anything remotely close to an "above average" result in... well, never.
I had broken down and gotten on the beta calculator website earlier this week. Based on my first beta last friday of 273, I set my expectations. If it was as high as 2000 I would be thrilled, 48 hour doubling time. If it was at least 1200 I would try to keep my hopes high that I was still in the game at least. Below that I would start mourning the loss.
So I literally can't quite get my head around this. I know all too well all the terrible things that could happen from this point, but for now I am something totally foreign... reassured. We're still in this. Deep breaths. Let's take this one day at a time.
Good news. I am pulling for VERY clear and normal full steam ahead. I know this is nerve wracking, but it is perfectly fine. Grow little brightside!
ReplyDeleteOMG.I have happy goosebumps for you right now. This is very good news and am holding onto so much hope for you. One day at time - another hurdle cleared. ((hugs))
ReplyDeleteAwesome - that is a great number. It's hard to find reassurance in ANYTHING at this stage, but it sounds like you are off to a perfect start. Did they schedule another draw, or an early ultrasound? You've got it - one day at a time (I often had to break it down to five minutes at a time, or one breath at a time).
ReplyDeleteit's so hard to hope, but how can you not?
ReplyDeleteYip yip! Glad to see good news. Keeping my fingers firmly crossed for the next update.
ReplyDeleteWow. Lovely digits, Mrs. Brightside. It's one day at a time, and this day is a great one, to be sure.
ReplyDeleteHoping so much that everything continues to look this good.
Oh gosh, that's a great number! I'm so happy for you!! I know how hard it is to have hope and believe that this is working....just take it one day at a time.
ReplyDeleteFantastic news! Hope it continues!
ReplyDeletegood numbers and great news. Fingers are in the crossed position for a happy outcome for you guys!
ReplyDeleteDeep breaths and one day at a time is all you can do. Glad to hear that you're staying centered (or at least coming across as centered). Not sure if you've read "To Full Term" by Darci Klein, but it is an inspiring story after RPL. Keep breathing...
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! So nice to have TWO things going right for you right now. Hope all the good news keeps piling up.
ReplyDeleteTake care of you :)
OMG, I am SO happy for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI've been a little behind on my blog reading, so a delayed congrats!! What awesome news and an even more awesome beta:)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!!! YAY! ♥ Keep us posted :)
ReplyDeleteNice numbers!! Here and pulling for you, Brightside.
ReplyDeleteThat's a wonderful number. I'm right where you are and it's almost impossible to keep hoping isn't it? I know just how you feel like when you said a BFN / miscarriage would almost be easier to deal with. I feel the same way. Good luck to you!
ReplyDeleteHoly Moly-thats high, and a belated congrats!
