Got my BFP on Wednesday and my HCG was 170. 2 days later, it's only 221. They would have liked for it to have doubled. She pretty much said that this wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. Any thoughts? Thanks!

I think those numbers still look great! As long as it doesn't drop and continues to go up you should be fine! CONGRATS!

Ditto. Think happy thoughts and live where your hands are. Right now you just got some great news. You have no control over yesterday or tomorrow - well, mostly. Celebrate the feeling right now. Congrats! =)

I would try not to worry yourself too much about it until they tell you there is a reason to. You don't want to stress out over it if it's really not that bad. Hopefully it will pick up on the next test. Good luck!! And Congrats!

Thank you ladies! I'm really mad that the nurse who called didn't make it sound more positive. I mean, i don't think it's right to give false hope, but if the numbers didn't drop, why make it sound like it's pretty much over? And the fact that they waited 9 hours to call with the results is unacceptable. From what I've googled, it seems like those numbers doubling IS NOT what it's all about; it's the increase that's important. Thank again for your support.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
