I need to decide on an OB today. Ugh. I absolutely LOVED my OB and NP last go around, but it's a large practice and you get whoever is on call for delivery, plus residents. I had finally fallen asleep 29 hours after I delivered DD and the damn resident came in 1.5 hours later, flipped on the lights, asked me 3 questions and left without turning off the lights. So frustrating. There are other practices where there are no residents and the OBs will never wake you. To many decisions at this time of day.

Tgrrl, I need to pick a new OB too. My old OB left the practice to go do research. I'll probably stick with the same practice, but it sucks going into a new pregnancy with someone who doesn't know you.
akraus2015, what tests are you using? I have found that the new FRER's suck when it comes to line darkness.
I'm using Wondfo internet cheapies. I just expected to see a darker line today...
I have another digi that I left at work, but I don't even know if I should take that one or not. Next blood draw is tomorrow morning, but I'm a mess worrying about what is happening.
Oh no akraus2015. Were all the tests done with FMU? Have you spoken with your dr? Hoping for the best, and sending hugs in the meantime.
They were all with FMU. Doctor called yesterday with beta results at 41. With a history of 2 losses and no successful pregnancies, the anxiety is crippling me. I think I'm going to call them back when they open just to see if she has any suggestions for keeping my panic and anxiety down until the next beta draw tomorrow. I don't know what to do with myself...I've been trying to get ready for work for almost 2 hours and I'm just walking around like a crazy person.
akraus2015 I am so sorry. I know the feeling of wanting darker lines. I feel like the dye is different for each brand and test. I took two FRER out of the same package with the same pee and one had a barely there line. I wish I took a pic of it. Have you tried listening to meditation music or positive affirmations? Fx for a strong repeat beta tomorrow.
Not yet but I need to do something that's for sure. I need to find a way to distract myself. Both my grandmas live in the same retirement home. I think I'm going to take my work and a pizza over there today and have a party with the olds.

It took a long time for wondfos to darken for me. They were really faint for the first week. I wouldn't make any assumptions based on that.
akraus2015, tests can be inconsistent with the amount of dye, your urine nay be more or less concentrated, you may have compared at different times within the testing window (they dry darker). There's 101 explanations. A line is a line.
Urine test are qualitative, not quantitative. Try focusing on that.
Sending good thoughts your way akraus2015. Hope your pizza party helps to ease your anxiety.
I had one wondfo left in the last batch I bought. The line was so faint compared to the FRER I took at the same time. Hopefully it is just an inconsistent dye issue.

I made a cup of peach herbal tea this morning and then forgot about it. I just put it over ice and it's delicious. Plain water is not appealing to me, but I can definitely get behind iced teas! #gamechanger
Well it was too early to see anything on the ultrasound. Boo. The yolk sac is measuring two days behind what they thought, which doesn't surprise me. So now I wait a week and go again!
I'm impatiently waiting for my u/s on 11/29. I'm roughly 6 weeks. My betas were 21,336 and 25,353. I'm going crazy at such high betas. I'm wondering could I be further along and not know it?

Do you have a history of multiples in your family?

akraus2015 - Yes. Maternal grandfather was a twin. Twin cousins on my paternal side, too. I've read that high betas don't really signify multiples. I'd be lying though if I said it isn't something I'm wondering about. Yet another reason I am anxious for 11/29 to get here already.

For my 3rd pregnancy, my betas were around 30,000 at 6w3d and 36,000 at 6w5d, so maybe it's not too crazy?

Maybe, @amazingtulip ! My betas were taken when I was 5 weeks. But yes, good to know! PS: Is that your dog in your siggy pic? He/she is gorgeous! What breed? We're thinking about getting a puppy for Christmas (I'm probably insane for even considering that)
The case of wine I ordered last week just got delivered. Guess everyone is getting wine for Christmas this year.
I bought a few bottles of nice wine (read: wine that's more than $10/bottle) the day I got my BFP. So now it's just sitting in my cabinet. I was really excited about that wine
