As I mentioned in the symptoms thread, I had my 2nd beta draw today. My doubling time is 26.7 hours and my progesterone went up from 10.9 to 49.
I have had light bleeding since last Wednesday, and had my first beta on Thursday, so I was almost waiting for the worst today. Totally not out of the woods yet, but happy today.
My first ultrasound is on 8/4. So I guess I'll be counting down until that!
On a side note....I am really having trouble concentrating at work lately. This is a problem.

yes!! I was thinking about you today (it was easy to remember since my second beta was today as well!). Are you going back for a third on Wednesday too?

How did yours go?
Is three the norm? Trying to gage if I'll be back again on Friday.

I am not going back on Wednesday, but I wish I was. I had heavier bleeding with clots this afternoon. I'm pretty confused as to what could be causing this bleeding. This afternoon really freaked me out, so it would be nice to have another blood test to make sure things are still progressing....sigh.

doublehammock, yay for a good beta! I go every other day or so until the HCG level reaches a certain level, at which point I go for the first ultrasound. My memory is hazy on the level.
Mine was "beautiful" today, as the nurse said. 15dpo and HCG is at 321. I couldn't tell you what the first one was - I was too excited to listen, but if the nurse says good, I'm happy. We'll see how the doubling looks on Wednesday now that I'm writing this shit down!
My doctor just keeps saying to stay off my feet if I am bleeding. If I am laying around, I don't bleed. I think I'll work from home tomorrow and see if I can come in again on Wednesday.
doublehammock I do have it scheduled for a week from tomorrow. FX.
My beta was 2532, up from 208 on Thursday. I've been bleeding on and off since Thursday, but this afternoon was the worst. It has since gone away?
Man, I'm feeling like my 2nd beta was so wimpy now! It went from 54 (12 dpo) to 120 (14dpo), which doubled, so I'm going to focus on that. My OB said in the online message that it was "appropriate" and that she doesn't need to see me until 8 weeks. I would love to go in for another beta, though, just to see a nice increase. This is the first time I've ever had betas for a pregnancy (due to spotting since 3dpo) and it's just something else for me to be anxious about!
glb30, I'm sorry that you're still bleeding. It's frightening to see, but for now, your numbers are good and you are KTFU! Maybe you can request a third beta to ease your mind.
ETA: I just saw your last post about going in again. Your hcg sounds incredible! How many DPO are you?

That's a huge leap in betas - try focusing on that and use the excuse to lay down a lot! Hopefully they will let you come in and you can get more reassurance. I'll be crossing everything for you in the meantime.
minae01 Congrats on the doubling betas! Is your spotting getting any better?
I don't totally know how it translates, but I did IVF and am 15 days past a 5 day transfer. We did an elective single embryo transfer, so very low chance of twins.
glb30, sorry, I'm just now looking at your history in your siggy. You're under the care of an RE, and with your past history, I am actually shocked they aren't having you come in every other day until the ultrasound. Are you on progesterone suppositories of any kind? I'm surprised you would be bleeding through that.
Ann612 very good advice. I probably won't leave the couch tomorrow. The numbers are comforting.
I was also reading the intros and laughed when you said you are the resident party girl. I stopped drinking after my retrieval, and I've already been made aware of a few rumors that I am pregnant. (I haven't even gone out- just been making lame excuses!)
Ann612 I am on endometrin 3x a day. On Thursday, when my progesterone was low, they added 2 PIO shits of 1ml a day. I actually am surprised I haven't been in more either.
I'm going to call to see if I can come back Wednesday. I'm glad I'm on these boards, or I would never know what was normal.

My spotting is better. It's not totally gone. I still see some traces of pink and brown from time to time, but I'm happy that it seems to be going away. How is yours today? I hope it eased up!
I just got my first beta level back from 13DPO, and it was 98, which the nurse said is appropriate for that time. I go back Monday for a second to make sure my levels are rising appropriately.
