This is real life!

It's beta day, and it's a good day! 

 


Beta #1 that was taken on Friday, 8/30/13, at 9dp5dt (14 DPO) was 108.4.  Pretty on the mark since it was 2 days after the digital turned positive.  Today's beta at 13dp5dt (18DPO) is 565.2!!!  That's a doubling time of 40.3 hours!  It's doubling faster than the ideal time of 48 hours!  YAHOO!  I found a fun website that makes a chart with your betas and compares them to averages.  Here's what mine looks like:






 
This is also going to be my last pee stick progression picture.  I feel withdrawal coming!  I keep telling myself it has to stop sometime and I'm not sure the line can get any darker than it already is.

After all of this excitement today, I talked to my friend this afternoon who did a FET at my clinic 3 weeks prior to mine.  She had really good betas starting out.  She told me today that at her ultrasound they discovered that the baby stopped growing at 5 1/2 weeks, and she should have been 7 weeks.  I feel so, so bad for her.  And it was a huge reminder that just because my betas are good, doesn't mean I'm out of the woods.  Ugh.

But for today I'm going to enjoy the moment.  

I'm the most pregnant that I've ever been.
