4 weeks + 3 days

The betas are back!

14 dpo hCG level - 25 (eeep!)
17 dpo hCG level - 238 (I'm breathing a tad bit easier now.)

Total hCG Difference:213 mlU/ml (852%)
hCG Doubling Every:0 days 19.38 hours (19.38 Hours)
2-Day Increase:139 mlU/ml (456%) (normal)

Sure, it may not be on the higher scale for this time frame, but it's pregnant. I'm pregnant! Huzzah! I've got an appointment with my IVF centre on Tuesday morning (when I hit 5 weeks) to pick up another batch of progesterone. At $5/pessary, this is going to cost us a small fortune - but I'll do anything to help make this baby stick around.

And since I'm being all positive and what-not... I'm going to channel all of my hopes into this working.

  2. Hi! I'm not sure what kind of progesterone you're on, but I have almost a full box of endometrin suppositories that I never used. I believe they're 100mg each but can confirm when I'm home this evening. Let me know if you may be interested. jmb2007@gmail.com :)

  4. Yay, awesome numbers! And they definitely show that those fainter lines on the pregnancy tests didn't mean anything, so hopefully that's a load of your mind. EEEEEE BABY!

  5. These numbers look great! I have the link on my blog somewhere but I can't quickly find it, but there is research that indicates that a "normal" HCG rise prior to 6 weeks pregnant "often" indicates a viable pregnancy :) Even though you did IVF, I'm sure it will be similar results.

    Yay!
