Beta #2 Kinda Disappointing
Second beta today was 153, first was 101. It didn't double and now I'm concerned. RE said all numbers are rising and isn't worried and to come back next Tuesday. WTF.....wait an entire week!? I am going in on Thursday instead for another beta. Please pray it rises! I'm soooo worried. This was our LAST try; our last FET. We have no more totsicles and no more insurance to do another ER. And here I thought the 2ww was torture....OMG all of this waiting is just so hard and I know stress is not good but its such a challenge to be relaxed right now. Aarrgh....

Hey I know someone here on DS whose Beta #s were on the slower side at first ...didn\'t quite double the way we \"think\" they are supposed to...and then they took off...and now she has a 3 year old!
Everyone is right. As long as ut\'s rising, it\'s good.
I have been on the hcg ride before so I know how stressful this is. Sometimes technology is helpful and sometimes it creates........more stress unfortunately. It\'s like you want to know but you almost don\'t want to know so much. I agree with what everyone is saying. That rising is good. And that it doesn\'t always perfectly double. And I agree with what you said and others are echoing....that we HAVE the present moment. That is the one thing we are sure we have. So to embrace it. I know it\'s so hard to enjoy the moment when you don\'t know what the next one holds. But no one does...not with anything. I\'m so glad you\'re getting your next test tomorrow for peace of mind so you don\'t have to wait until Monday. Looking forward to good news and some well deserved worry relief for you.
Sorry...I accidentally posted this on your Sept 2nd journal today....but when I went back I couldn\'t find it so I tried to recreate it (above). Now you have two similar versions of virtually the same thing.
