Beta 3 is tomorrow. Then I guess I'll find out what's next. I went ahead and made an OB appt for Dec 2. Not sure when the RE will release me, but I wanted to get on my OB's schedule.
I go to my RE on Wednesday to check that my thyroid levels are good for pregnancy and adjust meds if needed, and she wants to confirm pregnancy. I'm assuming betas, though she did super early ultrasounds when we did a treatment cycle for our May 15 baby.
I should probably call my obgyn tomorrow. He's really popular so it can take time to get an appointment on the day you want.

No appointments for me until December 7th or something like that. My last OB did an ultrasound at 8 weeks but this one doesn't do anything until 10-12 weeks and no ultrasound at that point. I'm looking forward to hearing that little heartbeat!
I'm sorry some of you have to wait until December! I would be so anxious.
I'm not too anxious. I'm just really glad my insurance covers midwives this time! I didn't necessarily have a bad experience last time but I am excited about the not quite so medical mind set of midwives vs. OBs. Hopefully it's smooth sailing so I can stick with this plan!
Also, I hate leaving work for doctor appointments. It always stresses me out.

I have an appt on Wednesday. It was supposed to be an appt for infertility testing but now it's prenatal. This obgyn specializes in infertility but when I called and told them I'm knocked up they changed the nature of my appt due to past history of mc. Kind of freaking out. Wondering if he's gonna do an early Us since I had one with my first pregnancy--but only cause I had bleeding and I haven't had any this time...

Beta 3 is 770! I go back again on Thursday for another draw. They wanted me to do Friday but I'm out of town for work. I'm not sure how many more of these they will have me do, but I guess I can't complain because it keeps me informed.

Yay for awesome betas!!!! I'm so anxious to go back for mine! Thankful I have symptoms to keep my mind at ease.
My beta came back at 650 this morning. The nurse said it was a very good number and she sounded genuinely happy when she confirmed it was an unmedicated cycle. I love my RE and her office.
I go back in a week for another draw and then she'll do an ultrasound probably a week after that, then I can be released to my regular OB. I'm always happy to be released but miss that office. They're so awesome there.
They didn't test me TSH so they'll do that next week in case I need to adjust meds.
My beta from 10/31 came back yesterday at 21,336 (that seems really high though so I'm wondering if I misheard the doctor. Maybe she said 2136?). Had a repeat beta drawn today. I should get the results tomorrow.
Have a requisition form to go for blood tests and I won't be able to go until Monday. My Us is at the end of the month because my OB said there are no signs that I need to go any earlier (last time we had a 6 week US because I had bleeding).
Change of plans, I get to go in on Tuesday for an US! Yay! Nothing wrong, but they just called and said if I wanted one I could have one. Woo! I'm so glad.
