The nurse called with today's lab results. "Perfect." I was shaking. I think I still am. My HCG beta is 3400. For 85% of pregnancies, in early pregnancy, the HCG level doubles every 48-72 hours. Mine had not quite doubled last Tues to Thurs, which is why I had to take another blood test today.
This time my number went from 534 to 3400 over two 48-hour periods. Very good. As the nurse said, "Perfect."
I hope the rollercoaster ride is over, and this isn't just one of the long straight parts before a loop-the-loop. I just looked up the definition of neurotic: a person prone to excessive anxiety and emotional upset. Spot on. I need to become the antithesis of neurotic. synonym.com lists "rational" as the antonym. Too bad. That sounds boring.

Word! I had a hunch your HCG Beta was in the 3200 hundred range, but 3400?! Awesome. As to the ride, you know there are more adventures to come, but I'm guessing they are mostly about getting Elf not to sleep on your big belly this Fall. Besos, M (and the other M too.)
