Second Beta Test Results
Feb. 4th, 2016 12:59 pmWarning: Pregnancy related. Feel free to skip.
314 or 334 – I don’t remember because I was too relieved to hear it was over 300!
Ideally, the beta number should double every 48-72 hours. The second test was 45 hours after the first, so a near double is perfect. Strong, still probably not twins.
Now I have an ultrasound scheduled for the end of February and that’s SO FAR. I’m tempted to keep peeing on sticks to reassure myself, but at some point I have to just trust my body. So. Breathe.
No symptoms, really, aside from occasionally being walloped by exhaustion. Not surprising, because it’s still only, what, 18 DPO? Jeez, it feels like so much longer.
Passing time by looking at dates. I’ll be 8 weeks beginning of March, 12 the beginning of April – which makes me want to announce on April 1st, but that is probably not a good idea. Internet’s estimation for due date is October 10th.
This all feels like it's happening to someone else. I wonder when it will actually sink in that this is happening. Until the first u/s? Until I start showing? Until the baby actually shows up? Never? How long did it take you?
