IVF #2, Beta #3

Today's beta was 896 - not a doubling of Tuesday's beta, but the nurse said they were not concerned about that. I do not have to have another beta test, but I will go in for my first ultrasound on Monday morning.

I'm feeling good physically - not too tired, no more crazy hunger, just some breast tenderness from the progesterone.

I'm really looking forward to Monday!

  6. This is a solid progression and I'm glad you are off the hook for another beta.

    I am curious, though, if it's standard practice with your clinic to routinely do 1st ultrasounds so early (you'll be 5w3d on Monday)? I only mention this in terms of what they've conveyed they are hoping to see (gestational sacs? fetal poles?) vs. waiting an additional week where all of those things + heart beat can been seen.

    And, often with twins, one sac may be visible at 5 wks and the other not until 6 or beyond.

    I guess I'm just trying to set expectations.
