19DPO: Betas again

19DPO beta = 3257. Overall doubling time is less than 48 hours. Nurse asked to scheduled an ultrasound and a first OB appointment.

Ultrasound: 9/24/2009 1PM
OB : 10/2/2009

Betas doubling

13DPO beta = 406
15DPO beta = 911. Progesterone = 20.26

Breathing a slight sigh of relief today. I went for another beta today and should get the results tomorrow. After this, I will set my first appointment with the doctor. I'm afraid to do it too soon and jinx it. Guess I'll set it up for after coming back from Disney. We're going from 9/16 - 9/22. I can't get on any rollercoasters though. But it's ok. I'd rather go to Disney with another little one in a few yrs.

15DPO: I don't feel pregnant

Apart from soreness, there is no pregnancy symptom at all. I'm getting worried. Had the repeat beta done today and will get the result tomorrow. I'm officially late today. Yay! I am taking this pregnancy one day at a time, as I named the title. So today, I am pregnant and that is something worth celebrating. I had chipotle again today :-) With Mehul I craved mexican food as well so this sounds like a good sign to me.

14DPO: Beta at 13DPO

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.
