Beta #3 and 1st u/s results

So, with DD, I think we only saw the gestational sac at this point, and I think it was 5w2d, whereas today is 5 weeks exactly, so I was prepared not to see much.  Long story short, we saw the gestational sac (yes, thankfully, singular!), and the beginnings of the yolk sac. 

Beta has really really doing it's thing since last Friday too, going from 234 to 3328! 

The RE was very pleased, and is having me go back next Friday to (hopefully) see the heartbeat.  After that, it'll be one final visit and I graduate to my OB!  

So one more good appt. and I will totally relax, but I have to say, at this point, I feel pretty good, and so much better than I did just yesterday.

Thanks to everyone for their support during my time on the board.  I plan to stick around a little longer until I get the all clear from the RE, and will continue to check-in with and offer support to my buddies who have a slightly longer path to travel.

I can't tell you what a relief it was to have an u/s.  I was so pumped full of adrenaline right up until we saw the sac.  I don't know why I was so nervous, but I really was.

I almost POAS again, but figured even if my levels went down, it would still show up on a HPT, just lower, and I wouldn't know it, so I actually managed not to do it for once.

So sorry you have to wait, I know how difficult that wait is, but I honestly have no concerns about you, I know everything will be just fine!
