Well 1st of all congratulations. Hoping that those num.'s keep doubling & your little bean is where it should be. I know it's hard not to worry but try not to it's not good. Try and stay pos. there are many tr sisters that have had ep and went on to have a normal pg. I pray that this is one is for you. God Bless Michelle

Congrats, Jen! All your numbers look fantastic. I worried until I saw a heartbeat. My second to third draws didn't jump as fast as my others. But our bodies don't go by the textbook. There are normal variations within normal range. I so hope this is the one for you! BTW, I am a GA girl, too. I have a 3 year old TR son.

Thank you all so much!! It really does help to know that I am not completly crazy with worrying so much. So, I got my third set of numbers and here's where we are:
I have an ultrasound scheduled for Tuesday afternoon. I know I am over thinking things, but is it okay that the doubling rate slowed just a little bit from 26 to 36 hours? Does HCG every keep a consistent doubling rate? Sorry for all the questions, I have never had numbers actually double before

Jen, Good Luck! Be sure to let us know what those #s come back at. Wishing you a sticky bean and a happy/healthy 9 months! I too lost two but I am now 19 weeks 5 days. Like Jenn, I am still worried about... let say ... what can happen. I got my 1st BFP after my 1st cycle, I m/c after only knowing for 2 weeks; I went on to get a 2nd BFP right after but again m/ced after know for about 3 weeks. So with this one, I counted the days.... I even rebelled, I didn't go get my #s which I look back and it could have been really bad, fortunately for me everything was where it needed to be, I made my 1st appt and they actually rushed to get me in within a day of my calling to get my 1st u/s done. After the losses, I just couldn't make myself go in for bw to see those numbers only to see them fall like the first 2 times. I pray for you and your family that this is your prayers being answered! All of us have gone through so much of the same case scenarios that I truly hope this is it for you too!!!

Georgiamom, Congratulations! Please keep us posted on your numbers. I know it is hard not to worry but you just have to make yourself be positive and have good thoughts. Come up with a project that is not stressful but fun that will keep your mind preoccupied-a little.
Unfortunately, you don't! At least I couldn't. We went through 4 miscarriages and 1 e/p before we got pregnant with Lydia Grace. I worried through my entire first trimester and a good part of my second. Like you, the blood draws with my first 5 pregnancies never doubled the way they were supposed to. I take it as a very good sign that your numbers more then doubled so nicely.
Congratulations and have a happy, healthy 9 months! Jenn Lydia Grace born 01-09-08 (TR baby #1)

Well first of all congrats Jen. Second I know what you mean I had an E/P in Feb last year and my numbers were fine so the Dr said but they never saw anything in my uterus. I had the Metho shot and went from there. I got second BFP in July and my numbers on the first draw were three times more then the first time. So on a happy note I hope this is it for you too because I am now 34 weeks pregnant and due the end of March. Best wishes to you and let us know what your next numbers are they are the ones to watch.

There is no way to keep from going bonkers. Those first 2 weeks are terrible. But your numbers look great though and I am hoping for a sticky bean for you!!!

Hey ladies. Hope all is well with you all. I need some advice/support from all of the collective expertise that is out there. I got a BFP last Saturday and went for bloodwork on Monday. My first numbers at 12DPO were HCG 74.8 and Prog 26.4. On Wednesday at 14 DPO HCG was 258. I go back in tomorrow morning for my next draw and as this day has gone on I have just been so nervous. In October I had a m/c and in November had a D&C and metho shot for ep. I know that my first numbers this time had a great increase but I can't stop being worried. My numbers never doubled like this with the other two BFPs so I know that is a good sign. So, my question to you is how do you keep your self from going bonkers in between blood draws? I have just felt like I am on an emotional rollar coaster today. One minute I am fine, the next I am ready to cry for now reason.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions that you may have to offer.
