Beta today was 8,828
Ultrasound showed 2 tiny gestational sacks. No fetal poles, no heartbeats. Nurses and ultrasound tech all said that it was fine. They said at 5 weeks 0 days I was on the border of ultrasound sighting and I shouldn't worry.
Of course, I think it is impossible for an infertile not to worry. While my IVF nurse left the consultation room to take a phone call, I slipped the ultrasound report around to face me and read it. It said "2 tiny gestational sacks..... nice placement in uterus....." where there was space to check if there was fetal pole or heartbeat it was checked no. Where there was a measurement it said < 5 weeks.
Nurse never brought that up. So that haunts me. <5 weeks. I am exactly 5 weeks today.
I don't go back for 12 days! My next ultrasound is October 31st. I don't meet with the Doctor until the next day. I complained to the nurse that I would have ulcers if I had my ultrasound 1 day and had to wait until the next to get the reoprt. My IVF nurse said that she would agree to meet with me after the ultrasound and tell me if there was a heartbeat if I promised that was the only question I asked her and all other questions waited for the doctor the next day. I agreed.
So.....now I wait.
And since there is not a damn thing I can do to affect the outcome. And since I have never made it this far before. I am going to try to stay positive and enjoy this. Not in the I am going to have a baby way.... I just can't think that far along. But in the there will be a heartbeat way....
Positive baby steps... that would be a good start.

AAAAA! Two sacs! Crossing all fingers and praying ceaselessly for you.
2! you have every reason to feel optimistic, you are right on 5 weeks.
Oh Krista, I'm hoping for you twice as hard now! Twelve days seems like forever and I hope that it's a fantastic ultrasound.
Heck of a beta! Hang in there, as I keep saying. I'm a little annoyed that your clinic even does sonos at 5 weeks...way too early to see the heartbeat and it causes unnecessary panic. I guess it's helpful to see if the sacs are in the right place but other than that not so much. I know it's impossible not to worry but everything looks great.
Enjoy this Krista, you deserve it! I am happier than words can express for you and Rick.
WOW. That is big news.
Wishing you continued good news!
That's great news.
Keeping my fingers crossed for even better news on October 31st!
whoo hoo! Right on! Nothing but good news here. Congratulations!
Wow - sounds good so far!! I can't believe you have to wait so long for your next u/s - I hope the time passes quickly for you, and I'm hoping for wonderful amazing news on the 31ST!
the waiting is the WORST. Hang in there, kiddo. Try to stay busy.
Orange Belts RULE!
And yours looks so pretty Krista!
Wonderful, wonderful!
Krista -great news. I can wait until you hear the hearbeats!!!!Yay
First I have to say, they could have implanted late and that could be the reason the paper said >5 weeks.
Plus.. you have an awesome beta... that is great!
I know these next twelve days are going to be really hard, but if you get stressed out we can trade th next twelve days...
in the next twelve days, my job is ending and I am moving, and I don't know what I am going to do about either of those things yet..
So this will be a stressful two weeks for us both. We will both come out a head.
Also.. I am so excited for you!!! TWINS!! That is such awesome news, I was on the phone with a friend when i read it and i was so excited.. i had to tell her too.
WOWIE, two, fab, fab, fab......here's a BIG supportive hug for you, from me....
TWO!!!
FWIW I went for a u/s at 7 weeks and I could JUST make out the twinkling heartbeat. It is pretty early but I know it would be silly of me to tell you not to worry. :)
Hang in there Krista.
I am crossing my fingers for you! I definitely wouldn't be able to sit back and relax until I saw 2 heartbeats. I really hope the nurse verifies heartbeats on Oct 31st!
Krista, I am so happy for you...CONGRATS!!!! Don't worry that they are measuring < 5. It is normal to measure less then your actual gestation. Try not to stress too much for the next 12 days...easier said then done. We're all here for you!
Horray! Congratulations Krista! This is such exciting news! Fingers and toes crossed for a happy and healthy pregnancy for you.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEE- there's TWO OF THEM!!! YAY!!!!
Hang in there! I will keep all my fingers and toes crossed for you, lady!
that is huge news!! How wonderful! I know it's impossible but try really hard not to worry so much, it sounds like you're right where you should be for 5wks 0days.
