It looks like I'm finding myself back here again. A little about my history... I had 2 first tri mc's, starting seeing a RE and began treatment cycles. DS was conceived on a natural cycle and was born February 2015. We started TTC again right before DS's first birthday, thinking that it might take a long time again. I got another BFP in February, but ended up having another mc. As if that weren't enough of a blow, my mom became sick right after I found out I was pregnant and passed away a few days before Mother's Day this year. I've had a rough few months and am happy to welcome some joy with this new pregnancy.
I had betas drawn at 11 dpo and 13 dpo, went from 42 to 84. The numbers are still really low, but I know it's the doubling time that counts. I had some cramping and spotting yesterday that freaked me out, but it's gone now.
I'm happy to see some familiar faces here and look forward to getting to know the new ones.[
**Update: So, after a week, my HCG only went up to 290. My OB called me with the results yesterday and wants me to go in for a repeat tomorrow. F*ck. The numbers are going up, but really slowly now and it doesn't look good. I'm praying that this won't be loss #4, but I don't have high hopes.
**Update #2: My OB just called and said my HCG from Tuesday went up to 880. She wants me to go back in today and then come in and see her tomorrow morning. She asked me if I'm in pain and wants to do a pelvic exam. So, I'm suspecting that she's concerned about an EP, but I'm not having any spotting or pain. However, I just did a few calculators online and they say that it's a doubling time of 60 hours (I know we're looking for 48-72 hrs at this point) with a 74% 2-day increase (should be >60%). So... I don't really know what to think. The numbers still seem a little low to me. But the doubling time seems good!
**Update 9/12: Hcg was only increasing by 200 every 2 days and was last at 1270. I had an ultrasound today at what should be 6 weeks 2 days (based on OPK), but the tech said I must be measuring less than 5 weeks because the machine wouldn't register the measurement that small. I got a BFP at 10 dpo, so I don't see how my dates could be off that much.

. But I am very happy to see you back here and have everything crossed for you and your growing family.
