I got my betas back today - 12/13dpo was 215 and 14/15dpo was 615! Doubling time of 30 hours and the levels put me in the range of 75% chance of multiples according to betabase

Awesome! How do you feel about multiples? Im pretty torn in my mind since this will be my first, im scared 2 would be too much... But then again, maybe its easier in the long run to only have one pregnancy
I have a lot of twins in the family, so have always thought about the possibility.

 

[Haylee.]

Great news Curly and NDH! Congratulations! I'm also scared of multiples. A friend of mine has identical girls and seemed to breeze through the early years. Can't say I'd be the same

Fantastic news on the betas ladies! How reassuring!

 

[Blah11]

Congrats on your good blood work news guys!

I have just a little over 2 weeks until my first scan and I can’t wait to get it over with and the reassurance that will come with it.

I’d not cope with twins!

 

[tankel]

HAHA I used to say I would want twins, but I've changed my mind since actually having a newborn.

I'm up another lb. I have no idea what is happening. I didn't change my diet in anyway. Please help me before I roll away

I’m the same! Gained 3 or 4lns in the 3 weeks I’ve known I’m pregnant?! I actually feel my jeans are tighter too which sucks badly!

I'm going a little bit crazy over here, not having a second beta. I know my number was good on Friday, but I don't get an ultrasound until this Friday afternoon and I just wish I knew a little bit before then. Having had a miscarriage last cycle I'm kind of surprised that they didn't want to do a second beta this week.

 

[Haylee.]

I hope the next few days go quickly for you smurphy

 

[Ruskiegirl]

I think I can be excited now Still waiting on my doc to call about bloods although I don't think I need them at this point . I know how you are feeling smurphy90 my first appointment is still a month away but can't come any faster

We don't even get betas here that i know of unless it's a special case, i asked my naturopath i was seeing then to order them for me last time but she didn't really get why lol. I just wanted the peace of mind. I didn't ask for it this time, I'm with a different ND midwife now too. She doesn't do scans either until the normal 20 week one so i'll just have to wait til we can hear the heartbeat i guess. i had a tiny bit of brown spotting today, hopefully nothing is wrong. Looked back on my journal from last time though and i had one single day with spotting at almost the exact same day of pregnancy lol strange!

 

[Bloblo]

Lomelindi - im also 5w0d today and had a slight bit of tan/pink on tp today. Only once. Freaked out for a bit, but then realised how normal a bit of spotting is. I am sure both of our beans are just getting comfy.

 

[lomelindi17]

Haha how funny is that! I wrote down in my journal last time that i thought it was due to the mucus plug forming. maybe that's it forming now too. hope so!! having a harder time sucking in my tummy today, and urge to pee is def increasing. think uterus is expanding already ahh here we gooo! lol.

We've booked in for a private scan on Friday as we have no idea how far along I am. Spoke to a midwife yesterday who said I could be anywhere from 6-12 weeks but I've got to wait for my midwife appointment which is in 3 weeks to even be considered for a scan. Probably a bit overkill booking an early private scan but I'm hoping that it will calm my anxiety down as I'm struggling to sleep or do anything productive with my days as I cant concentrate. FX that everthing goes well!

 

[NDH]

Betas arent done as routine here (they check it when they do booking in bloods, but dont tell you unless you ask, and dont do repeats). But I asked because of my hisyory of miscarriages
