Beta #2 is in

Beta at 12dp5dt is over 1100!!!  Doubling time is 36 hours.  Nurse said my numbers are very high and that it could certainly be a singleton but to not be surprised if there's 2 on the ultrasound.  I'm being monitored weekly for my progesterone and estrogen due to my antagonist protocol so I go back next Fri.  Ultrasound will most likely be in 2 weeks if things keep looking good.

Good thing is I'm down to 1 estrogen patch (my skin is thankful!) and they lowered my PIO.

It's starting to sink in now!  I'm hoping and praying things continue to progress but I'm thankful we got this far and am trying hard to relax.  

Thanks so much again for all your support, you girls are awesome!!!
