Hi, and welcome. This blog has changed a bit recently. My husband and I fought through 4 consecutive losses to get our second healthy child (born in December 2012) . . . and while we had not shut the door on the idea of another pregnancy, we certainly were leaning in that direction. On August 8, 2014, we found out we are pregnant for the 7th time. A total surprise. So the neurotic journey continues . . . third child or fifth loss . . . I'm scared and confused and just a teensy bit excited . . .

Stay calm

Second beta is 846!  Doubling time of 42 hours which is excellent.  Time to take a long deep breath and wait another 7 days . . . More blood work and our first ultrasound will be on Thursday.   Unfortunately I will be approximately 5w3d at that point and it will be too early to see much other than a sac.  So I doubt  I will have that much to report next week.  Although hopefully I will have some sky-high blood results.

I am constantly reminding myself that my numbers were great last time.  In fact, when you look at my 16dpo and 18dpo numbers they are strikingly close to my 15dpo and 17dpo number this time.  I know this is a new pregnancy and it's not destined to have the same outcome as the last one.  But I also know that good numbers don't always mean good things.  So I'm trying to be optimistic without really getting too excited.  It's a hard line to walk . . .
