Final Beta Today

Well, my 4th and final beta was today - a 75% increase over 2 days ago (from 1567 to 2736). My nurse once again reassured me that this is perfectly normal, not doubling after 2 days (guess I am closer to every 3 days, which I read is fine), and that the RE isn't concerned. If the RE isn't concerned, then I won't be! She also said that my estrogen levels are "super" and told me to stop the estrogen supplement.

Below is the chart of all my betas. Looks like one little cashew (I like cashews more than peanuts). Don't know if my increases are off because my first beta was so high?

My first ultrasound is on Monday. Please, God, let this be a healthy pregnancy!

  1. Congrats on a strong beta result. My nurse called with last beta yesterday. She told me my estrogen was over 7,000! So she told me to stop the estrogen patches. I'll be thinking about you on Monday. I know everything will go well. You have such good beta results! My first ultrasound is Friday. I'm so ready!!!
