I had blood drawn for Beta (HCG) and Progesterone yesterday. My beta at 13DPO came out to be 406. It is on the high side for the DPO. I had what I call implantation cramps starting at 5DPO and ending at 8DPO. That might have been due to an early implanter and might explain the high beta. I am waiting until my 15DPO beta results to breathe a little easier. Going for the draw tomorrow and should have the results on Friday.
I have had sore boobs since 9DPO but the soreness comes and goes. I've read that is normal, but still worried. I POAS every other day to see the lines progress, and today was an off day but I couldn't stop worrying so I did. The lines came up darker so that was a relief.
When the nurse called me back with beta result, she said it was positive. Like I was expecting it to be negative?? What is the number I asked. I POAS that morning so I know it was positive. Would I get a blood test for that? Actually, with DS that is exactly what I got the blood test for -- to confirm it officially I got a blood positive and never asked/knew about the betas. Just goes to show how different this pregnancy is.
Symptoms tally - So far I have gas, bloating, sensitive nose and slightly sore boobs. This time around with DS, I had sore boobs for sure. I wasn't testing so didn't know I was pregnant. Ah, the good old times.
