Beta #2

Beta #1 (10dpt)- 433
Beta #2(14dpt) - 3800

It's safe to say that, right now, I'm STILL pregnant.  Our numbers more than doubled and Dr. B is very happy and comfortable with the hcg numbers.   Our first ultrasound is scheduled for Monday, September 23rd.   It's going to be a long 12 days waiting to see if this in face a viable pregnancy.  The high beta numbers have made me a little more comfortable with feeling some joy, but I'm still very guarded.  I really need to have an ultrasound.  I need to see a heartbeat. 

I've been having my fair share of early pregnancy symptoms.... all day nausea, increased sense of smell, sore tatas, hungry..... OMG I'm so hungry, tired all day, but then I can't sleep when it's time.  And, this time, I know it's more pregnancy related than progesterone related.  This cycle, I didn't get any of the dreaded progesterone or estrogen side effects EXCEPT for the bloat.  Still got the lovely bloat.  I'm extremely happy and excited to be having these symptoms.... I'm being 110% honest when I say that I LOVE feeling nauseous, I LOVE LOVE the sore tatas, and being hungry is always fun when you love food like I do!  I started getting sore boobs a week ago, and then the other symptoms kind of crept in after.  The nausea didn't really sink in heavily until yesterday. 

This pregnancy feels so different from our fresh cycle that ended in m/c. My body was so out of it then.  I was getting dizzy spells all the time.  I had horrible side effects from the progesterone that started the day I took it.  This time, my TWW was pretty normal, in fact I felt nothing at all, which led me to believe I would get a BFN.  Then, about a week after I POAS, everything starts to kick in.... and feel exactly like it did when I was pregnant with Tay.  This HAS to be a good sign.  I'm taking it as a good sign of a healthy pregnancy. 

Please keep us in your T&P's as we anxiously wait for our ultrasound.  Hopefully we will see a heartbeat, and we can let Taylor know she is finally going to be a big sister.
