Well, I went for blood yesterday (4th beta) and of course, I'm always nervous when the drs. office calls.
The nurse called to say my numbers were really great for my gestation. She even said they are high, but I'm not looking too much into that. There is no way they know at this point how far along I am, so I might be further than they think -by a few days -but I doubt it.
In comparison to my numbers with IVF #1. At 4 weeks and 4 weeks 2 days - I was lower than my numbers for IVF #1. At 5 weeks, for this pregnancy I was 1,000 pts higher and at 6 weeks - I am 3 times higher. I hope that means - this is a strong baby. My progesterone hasn't shot up, it has stayed the same. It even went down 2 pts on my 2nd beta, but they were not concerned. They told me progesterone fluctuates and mine was high for my gestation, so they weren't worried. It is up now. Progesterone is a lot lower than IVF #1, but I was on progesterone support. I think I am within the normal range.
I have been feeling nauseous in the mornings a little. I wasn't nauseous with my son, but each pregnancy is different. My mom and my sister only had morning sickness with girls. I haven't thrown up though.
I go in for an u/s next week and I hope the baby is growing and in the right place.
I am less nervous than I was last time, but still nervous on big days. My symptoms had died down, so of course that is always nerve wracking. Boobs less sore - still sore, but not constantly. When I first found I that I was pregnant, I was so tired. I have more energy now, but I'm trying to take it easy. I went grocery shopping with my DH one day and I felt bad, so he is doing the shopping from now on. I'm not walking around too much - even in the first trimester.
I went to see S.ex and the C.ity last night with a girlfriend. I enjoyed it. It will probably be the last movie I see at the theater for awhile. Last time, when I was pregnant, going to the movies kinda bothered me. (especially loud action movies). Last night's movie was fine, but it was such an ordeal to go on openining night (not my idea). I've never seen so many women at the movie theater. I was exhausted after going to dinner and the movie - late night!

My sympotoms come and go to. I am so happy for you guys. I can't wiat for you to have that first u/s! I loved mine.
Well, just wanted to say hang in there. I know it's gotta be tough with all the betas. But, your first u/s is right around the corner! Good luck!
I saw SATC on Friday night and loved it! Great movie!
I did not love the movie. I really thought I would, but it was slightly disappointing to me. I prefer the series so much better. And what's with the microphone peeking in the screen throughout 90% of the movie?
I can't wait to read more about this sticky bean :-)
I am just getting caught up, but CONGRATULATIONS! What wonderful news! I will be thinking of you!!
I came from Monica H's blog to say congrats! I know how hard things are, especially with an incompetent cervix. There are so many different fears, including the fear of moving the wrong way...as if that will have any bearing on whether your cervix will open or not.
Hang in there...make sure DH is taking good care of you : )
Oh, and your beta's are much higher than mine were at 4w. My first one was only 48 but thankfully went up from there. Keeping my fingers crossed for you and can't wait to read more about your journey!
