Great number again: 228
I will go back for one last beta on Monday the 3rd and if that is still tracking normally, I discontinue the blood work. I do not have a lot of faith in rising betas but I do gain a small sense of relief when they are high and doubling.
My first ultrasound is scheduled for 11/17. They wanted me to come in on 11/10 but I requested to push a week further along so there is no question as to whether or not there should be a heartbeat. I simply cannot handle the ultrasounds really early anymore.
2.5 weeks from now seems so far away to me. This is a time when I need to relinquish control and allow my body to do it's thing. I will be grateful each evening that I end the day with a healthy pregnancy and I will wake up the following day hopeful for another day. And that is all I can do.

Yeah!!!!
I did the very same thing with the u/s. too nerve wracking to be at that "in-between" place and not see a hb.
good luck waiting it out,

I like the sign! And waiting is the worst. Hang in there.
I love the sunshine note. I wrote stickies on my computer to remind myself everything was going to be ok.
And I'm with you, the first ultrasound after the blighted ovum scared me. I was in tears before it began.
Good luck with the wait. And Hawaii sounds wonderful
I love your attitude. I will need to keep that in mind the next time I get PG, and will likely write little notes to myself to just enjoy each day as I can. I've had 2 consecutive mcs (one in July 2008 and one that ended in a D&C on 9/26/08). Wishing you all the best.
First, great beta! YEAH! Second, I am so amazed at your brave attitude. It is wonderful, and I support you and salute you! I LOVE your sign. Keep it up, and hang in there over these two and a half weeks!
I'm glad you got another good number! I don't like early u/s either, it was like putting it off gave me more time to cling to hope. I hope that the time flies and you see a strong heartbeat at your u/s!
I did the same thing with my u/s. That inbetween place sucks and there is nothing you ~can~ do but wait.
I like your attitude!! I am looking forward to good news in 2.5 weeks
The sign is great! It will be a long 2.5 weeks, but you'll get through it. One milestone at a time.
Hooray for a good beta, even if it's hard to put much faith in it.
Best wishes until and on the 17th. I love the sign -- positive affirmations are such a good thing.
Congrats on the super second beta. I love the sign...what a great reminder. Wishing you nothing but the very best! :)
Congrats on your great doubling beta! I think that's all we can all do is take things day by day. Keep us posted and hang in there!
Yeah!!! Wonderful 2nd number!
This is the hardest part, I swear. It felt like time stood still, but you will get through it!
Nice beta #s!
