Beta is rising
Today was beta #2!! Went to clinic for more blood work to see if my beta HCG level has risen like it should! They want your beta number to double every 48-72 hours. My original beta number last Wednesday was 332. We had a guessing game going on to see who could guess what today's number would be! I guessed 2705, Keith and my mom guessed 2400 and my mother I law guessed 2855. She won cause she was the closest even though she wasn't really close! My beta today was 8,769!!!!!!!!!!! Holy moly!!!!! That's a doubling time of 30 hours! Incredible! No one thought it would be that high! The nurse was even impressed with the number! So because my beta is so good and so high they want to go ahead and do the first ultrasound this Thursday to see how many are in there!!!!! I'm so excited cause I was going to originally have to wait 9 more days! I will be 5 weeks tomorrow! Can you guess how many babies are in there? 1? 2? Dare I say 3??? Just because the number is so high doesn't automatically mean there is more than 1 but it's fun to speculate so tell me what your guess is and we will tally up the guesses and announce on Thursday after the ultrasound. Sometimes, they can't always see how many are there are on the first ultrasound so the number may change! God receives all the glory and He is just blowing my mind with His goodness and faithfulness! With my pregnancy 2 years ago, my beta never got over 1,105 so I'm just beyond happy that things are progressing well! Continue to pray with us and for that baby or babies that they continue to grow like they should! I will post Thursday after the ultrasound with a pic!! 😃😃😃😃😃
