MrsH, so glad your numbers look great - my doc said as long as they're up by 2/3 (b/c it doubles between 48 & 72 hours early on), then that's what they're looking for, so I wouldn't worry about the 4 points - congrats!! yay!!
DrG, lol, you one-eyed lady! hillarious!!
Just got my 48-hr results: Monday was 956 and yesterday was 1915! Praise the Lord!! So far, so good, and i am elated and relieved. I know it's still very early on, but still so happy.
Fides: I'm not trying to be super hormonal and bitchy here, so please don't take it this way... But I feel like when you are trying to make me feel better about my low levels, it may be best not to sort of rub it in that yours are so high in the same breath. Just remember, this is all very upsetting to someone that is struggling a bit and worried about the viability of her pregnancy. Not saying you can't be excited and post it for your fellow buddies (please do, because this is what we are all here for), but I just felt it was bad timing. Hope you understand.
I know she didn't, but it was just hard to see in the same sentence.
It was not in the same sentence. I was catching up on a couple pages of activity in this thread, and I tend to do that by responding to people I want to make sure to respond to, then adding in any bit about myself that I want to share with the group.
MrsH, I had no intention of hurting your feelings in any way, shape or form. I was genuinely happy that your numbers are doubling in less than 72 hours, which is a good sign, regardless of the actual number value. Believe me, I had no intention of "rubbing it in" (I don't even think my numbers are all that high!). I am just relieved that so far, things appear to be going as normal, and compared to the utter HELL of losing my first baby just a few months ago, it was a good phone calls, so I thought I would share that small glimmer of good news with others in this thread with whom I'm enjoying sharing similar experiences with. I mean, don't you think I'm also worried about the viability of my own pregnancy? Worried is probably an understatement. I think we all are. And, as for the bad timing, I'm sorry - that's just when I happened to have received the call. I suppose the next time I have good news to share, I shouldn't put it in the same post that I place my responses to others, so my apologies for that.
To tell the truth, I'm crying so hard right now just b/c some stranger over the internet chose to think the absolute worst of me. I can hardly breath, and I'm shaking. You have no idea how much that hurts. This is an extremely emotional time for all of us, eh?
I am sorry if you were hurt - that was not my intent - my intent was to congratulate you and to reassure you with what my ob/gyn had told me about the two-thirds goal before they drew my blood Monday, to also laugh with another person about something they had shared with the group, then to share with the group the good news that at least as of yesterday, my second baby is okay.
I pray that you find peace in your pregnancy, and that you will get to hold your child in your arms in November.
... but I bet you will be back on Monday with smiles on your face!! 
The protective motherly instinct only gets stronger hun... just wait till little one arrives and has it's first cold! 
thank you all so much for your kind wishes.
