Candidkiwi: From what I have seen across these websites, your beta is very normal (especially since it jumped to 366 on the 14th day). I've studied betas on these forums and nothing about yours jumps out as being out of the norm.

Please don't be nervous. You and your baby need all the positive energy in the world right now. :D

Thanks Babyb,

I take great comfort from other people on this site, and I am thankful for each day that passes. My expected dd is 6/10/08, my brothers birthday. It would be such a joy for me to tell my family that I am pregnant and so I cling on to the hope that I can do just that at Christmas this year. :)

Babyb, CONGRATULATIONS! That is so awesome! Twins! That is wonderful,! I have been following your posts and hoping everything was ok.

I go in for my first us tomorrow (Tuesday) ..I"m really hoping to see a heartbeat too but my coordinator told me it is probably too early to see a heartbeat at this point but we should be able to see how many are in there and make sure everything is in the right place ....

I am quite nervous because so far it doesn't seem real, I haven't really had any symptoms and I'm hoping this will ease my mind a bit. I don't even know what to think of my beta's, they only told me they were good numbers..so I'm going on that to keep positive. Also the word has already leaked to my family and co-workers and now I'm praying everything goes smoothly.

Candidkiwi

Congratulations to you too! Sounds like we will be due close to the same time, they didn't officially tell me my due date but I figured it to be 6/5/07.

Hey Kelly,

Congratulations - keep us all posted on how your u/s goes. I too still don't have any real symptons, although I have started to get sore and heavier bb's now so that can only be a good sign :) I never thought I would be pleased to have sore bb's :D

I am due to take another blood test this Friday and then the RE tells me they will let me know what will happen from there....I feel like I am in suspended animation! I will be a little less worried once the u/s has been done, but I may have to wait another four weeks for that.

Ok ladies........I had my first ultrasound today at 5 wks and 5 days......and it's TWINS! I can't believe how many of us on here are having twins....... I had a feeling that we were having 2 but I have to say that we are in total shock! I wasn't sure my husband was ever going to stop saying "TWINS!" LOL Well I am off to go celebrate.

Hi Ladies,

Let's add one more set of twins to the list!!!

That's right, had my first u/s this morning at 5 weeks and 1 day. DH and I so wanted twins but were prepared for a singleton. I was so surprised when the doc said "there are two" - DH just about jumped off his chair in excitementl So cute!!! We transferred two blasts and both took. The nurses reaction was the best, she was more surprised than I was. Good thing we didn't transfer three embies!!!

We'll hear the hb's next week. Until then I've got to update our registry, need to double up a bunch of stuff. :D

I don't think I can stand the wait to find out the sexes - 16 weeks seems SO far away...for me it's the weekend before Xmas. Now that's a nice present.

Hope everyone is doing well - needless to say I'm on cloud 9.

No symptoms yet, bb's are sore in the early AM but other than that I'm doing well. Trying to keep the weight gain slow and steady.

Love and sparkly dust to all.

Congratulations meggs! That is amazing! :D

We also had our first ultrasound yesterday and there was only one.

We saw a little blip for a heartbeat but it was too soon to actually hear it, they told me I was 5wks and 4 days yesterday and everything looked good. We were so SO relieved to see that! They said everything was in there right spot too!

Hi ladies. I figured I'd join your thread. I haven't had my beta yet. It's on Fri. I took 2 tests today and they were both BFP!!! I'm 13dp3dt or 16 dpo. I had to go get a digital hpt and took it tonight, just to be sure. I still don't believe it. I'm dying to see what my beta is on Fri. I wonder when I'll have my first u/s. It seems like every clinic is different. I believe my due date is 6/16/08. Congrats to everyone due in June. This is so exciting.

Christie, Yes you never know, you may even see two in there, but you have a ways to wait to find that out!

Yeah, I'm so excited for you!
