FET #5 - BETA #3 Results

BETA #1 - 50 at 9dp5dt (6 hours shy of 10dp5dt)
BETA #2 - 84 at 11dp5dt (6 hours shy of 12dp5dt)
BETA #3 - 514 at 15dp5dt (5 hours shy of 16dp5dt)

The good news is in!  Nurse A just called to say that my third BETA (which measures the HCG pregnancy hormone) has come in at 514!  We were hoping to see the BETA double every 48 hours which would make my BETA at least 336 today so to hear that it was much higher than that was exciting news to say the least.  Our little miracle baby/babies are holding on and growing fast!  We are so relieved, so excited, and SO THANKFUL!!!

Our first ultrasound has been scheduled for Friday, December 20th when I will be 6 weeks and 5 days pregnant and we will verify how many babies have made it and hope to see a heartbeat.  It will be a long 12 day wait for that day but if I can make it through the last two weeks I can make through the next 12 days.  It would be safe to assume that this has been and will be a character building experience for our family.  With Lena's pregnancy my very first BETA at 10dp5dt was 425 and BETA #2 was 1121.  With FET #4 my first BETA was 17 and then BETA #2 was back to 0.  To have the BETA process with this FET be so drawn out and dramatic was new to us and very emotional and scary. 

So here we go...Shack baby #2 is on the way!   I still can't believe it!  Thank you Lord for this amazing gift!
