Beta #3
Although I am still very anxious, my 3rd beta came in at 1253 one week after my 2nd beta. It's a little higher than expected, so they tell me it is a good solid number. But I still feel so worried about what is happening inside of me. I can't even count the number of time I have searched "ectopic pregnancy" and "signs of a miscarriage." I haven't had any of these signs, but I have just convinced myself that it is coming. I also haven't had any signs of being pregnant at all, except maybe being a little extra tired, but that always happens to me the week of the time change. I have felt more side effects from not being able to take my allergy medicine for the past 3 weeks than I have from pregnancy. Everyone at the fertility clinic said that it is normal for people not to feel anything yet, but my brain isn't buying it just yet. Next week will be my 6 week scan, so hopefully I can hold off another emotional meltdown until then. And the waiting continues...

Ugh I totally get it. Praying for a beautiful scan. Xoxo
Wow! I was hoping your number would rise, and it definitely did! I had some trouble believing it was real at first. I started to get pain in my right side so I became convinced it was ectopic, but then I went to my six week scan, and the baby was in the right spot. And we even saw the heartbeat flickering on the screen. Hang in there, and hope for the best!! I\'ll be thinking of you!!
