Beta #s and symptoms

OK!! now for some data and facts. "Beta" is short for the pregnancy hormone that is tested to confirm pregnancy. Anything over 25 means your pregnant and anything over 50 means you have a very strong pregnancy. Your level after 48 hours should double. My first one was 50!! and then it more than tripled at 181!! today! So happy

My sore boobs went away (hint #1 I was pregnant) but still feel full and bigger. I am hungry faster and more often now. Feel OK during the day, but start to get done at 8 or 9 pm. A nap during the day is very welcome.

Flying home today. Sad to leave my brother's place in Salt Lake City, but excited to get home and see my birdies and begin our exciting journey!

  2. Congrats on a great beta! Mine only rose 71%, and here I am at 20+ weeks. More than tripling is awesome! How many embryos did you transfer?

    My boobs were only sore in the very beginning as well, but they sure haven't quit growing. :)

    So so happy for you!!
