I went in for my second beta today. RE's like to see your beta number double every 48-72 hours in order for the pregnancy to be considered healthy and viable.
Well, mine almost tripled...in a little less than 48 hours. It's up to 56. Our reaction? Laughter. Honestly, what else could we possibly do when we get news like that?
We are being VERY cautiously optimistic...you all know what we've been through, especially since June...so we are fully aware that this can easily take a nasty turn. But for now, I am pregnant, AGAIN, and we are happy as can be.
Thank you to EVERYONE who has been praying and pulling for us...please continue...it seems like it's working :)
Now I'm off to take a nap...Dad was back in the hospital again last night (he's out now, but he really has me worried) and I am in desperate need of some zzzzz's.

Caution must be used in making too much of hCG numbers. A normal pregnancy may have low hCG levels and result in a perfectly healthy baby. The results from an ultrasound after 5 - 6 weeks gestation are much more accurate than using hCG numbers.
YAH!
Pulling for you!!!
Awesome!!!! I am ALWAYS pulling for you guys! I was thinking of you all morning hoping your second beta would bring good news.. keep that miracle coming!!
And I hope 2008 brings some feeling better vibes to your Dad also!
Yay Melissa! Maybe 2007 won't have been such a horrible year afterall? I am crossing all fingers and toes and saying extra prayers for you guys.

I just wanted to share that I have a friend whose first beta was 9 (after Clomid and metformin with TI), and she has a son who is almost a year old. And she never got a BFP from POASing either. I will be pulling for you and hoping for a similar happy ending!
