Good Beta

After being snowed in for 2 days, I was totally going crazy. I really wanted to get my lab work done. I wanted more proof than 3 pee sticks that I was pregnant. So finally tonight, I went to work early and had my lab work done and it's really really true! My beta hcg (the hormone that your body secretes when you are pregnant) was positive and absolutely in the correct range. My beta was 389.8 which is in the normal range for a pregnancy in it's 4th week. Dr. Synn's office said that I have to go and get another level drawn on monday to make sure that my beta value is going up at the correct rate. I really want to know how many I've got growing in there (eventhough I have a strong feeling taht it's just one...which is totally fine with me) I don't think that I will be having an ultrasound until the 6th or 7th week.

I will let you know what happens!

Still soooooo excited

carolyn... my beta hcg level was 104, so i'm just hinting that there might be more than one... :):)

I'm not worried at all. I really feel like there is just one. Plus I was talking to a new mom at work who had her baby via IUI and her hcg level was triple the normal value and she just had one. Needless to say, you can't really determine how many are in there by just the hcg number
