I was SO WORRIED that I broke down in uncontrollable tears in the RE's office.

My beta went from 314 on 14dp3dt to 1640 4 days later! Doubling time of 40 hours!

U/s is next Friday, 2/22!

Holly,
So glad you got good news.
I just read some of your blog. You have a great attitude and a gift for writing.
BTW, you made me giggle as I pictured you lying in a parking lot watching Spiderman after your ET.
Good luck:-)

Can't wait to hear how the u/s goes!


Kristin

Thanks guys!!!

I am starting to really get excited. I will feel much better after the u/s, but my last beta (and the fact that I have PG BOOBIES!!!!) is helping me relax a bit! I've only lost one after h/b was detected, and that was with my own eggs, so I'm very hopeful!!!!
