so it was 12/31 - 21 10dp5dt

and now 212

I am so excited and shocked and hoping that it is good.  The dr. wants to do an ultrasound tomorrow and he wants to do it, not the nurse.  So please keep sending vibes and prayers and anything else you can spare that he will see whatever he is supposed to see.  Thank you so much.

I just jumped on to find your update!  I'm so glad to see that your beta went up and you have a littel fighter in there!  It's a doubling time of 60 hours.  Did the doctor or nurse give you any indication of how they were feeling about the numbers or what they were expecting to see on the ultrasound tomorrow?  I thought you typically couldn't see anything on an ultrasound unless the beta was at minimum over 1000?  FX you get great news tomorrow and your little embie is just a slow starter!

I'm really truely still hoping and praying that this turns into a viable pregnancy, but I do want to send just a little dose of reality and encourage you to be cautiously excited because of the low numbers and slower doubling time.  Maybe because I went through beta hell recently and I still wish I had been more cautious.  Or maybe I'm just too harsh and truthful for my own good lol.
