New beta results

First of all, thank you to everyone for such warm wishes...it's really so nice to have such a supportive blogging community...I wish we could all get together...but in the meantime, it's nice to know that you have my cyber-back :)

I had to go back to the clinic after work today to see the doctor to get my results.  He said to me that today should have been my official first beta and that the first one was just preliminary, as I was only 8dp5dt and he usually tests at 10dp5dt.

My levels didn't double....they went from approx 55 to approx 89.  They should have gone to 110 ish.  He told me not to worry.  I took the test less than 48 hours apart (I think it was 47, so really wasn't much different).  I also read online that it should double every 48-72 hours....when I calculated my doubling time it was 67 hours...so I'm getting close to the 72 hour mark.

The RE asked if I'm having pregnancy symptoms and I told him I was and they were very similar to my first pregnancy.  He told me that was good and that things were fine.

I am to go on Sunday morning for my next beta and to pop in to see him before I leave.

I don't want to get nervous about this...I'm feeling pretty stressed and exhausted right now and that's intensifying things I think.  My report cards are due today (and today is almost over) and I still have so much to do.  My place is in shambles from working on reports all week and being up late with Scarlett every night.   I committed to making an iMovie of students in the school saying goodbye to a retiring teacher for an assembly on Thursday...And now I have worries that my little emby might not want to hang out with me and Scarlett any more.

I know it's out of my hands and there is nothing I can do....I'm going to try to finish my report cards tonight...that's my only goal...I'll tackle everything else later.
