I'm pregnant!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe it! The doctors just called and my first beta is in.....215.
Is that good? Please ladies....feedback! The nurse said it was a great number, I go back Monday for another beta!
Thank you to all who have answered my questions (and will probably answer more) over that last year and some......what a help you have all been! I am so excited.......
Thank you all for your well wishes! We are so excited, and trying to avoid being negative. There is so much to be nervous about, but we want to do our best to just enjoy the first glimmer of light that has come from our IF journey. Good luck to everyone!

Does anybody have any feedback on the 14dpo beta level of 215?
thats a great number. what i've learned from the boards, and my nurse--the number right now doesn't matter as much as it doubling. Some people's number is much smaller (mine was 44)--but my number more than doubled in 2 days. So thats what they are looking for, so they were happy.
i'm a few weeks ahead of you (7wks pg) and i can tell you that i worried a lot in the beginning too. But i had a fantastic nurse who explained that numbers are numbers, and they are different for everyone. Don't worry about the numbers, because it can drive you mad for no reason, just enjoy the fact you are pregnant. Enjoy it. Don't stress.
Thanks so much! When did you have your first u/s? My RE does them at 7 weeks....ugh, I can't wait! Also, have any of you experienced mild cramping at the beginning of pregnancy?
Thanks all- wannabeamomma- Best of luck and thanks for the info!
well, mine was at 6 wks-but they were also thinking i conceived later than I thought i did. So by the calendar, i would have been 7 wks, but they think i was 6 wks then.
re: cramping--Before and around the time i had my bfp, I had cramping yes. I was pretty convinced AF was coming. And I know everyone says that, but i really thought it was coming--and since it was a natural cycle--i had no reason to believe it wouldn't be coming...
since then, i still get occassional mild cramps--but they feel more like a little pull when i turn funny...or sneeze...its totally normal.
