Holly - I say keep testing. If they keep getting darker, then you know it's not from the miscarriage still. I'm so excited you might be pregnant again!

Holly, I don't know what my level started at the day of the ectopic surgery, the hospital apparently never drew a beta. Three weeks after the surgery it had dropped to 388, then it took another 3.5 weeks to drop to 61. I got my period at that level, so we just stopped monitoring it. My body held onto it for a really long time. Even with the chemical pregnancies that never really got over a level of 30, it still took a full week for them to fall back to zero. My body likes to hang on the the hormones, haha!

Come on Miss Tara, I want Beta results and hubby update!

Talk about a time cruncher !! I finally was able to call the dr at 4pm. She said she had to talk to the doctor before she'd give me the details. Which worried me a little. She said the dr was standing right next to her and she'd call me right back. 45 minutes later I'm rushing home to beat dh. My phone rings, so I pull over. The nurse said that my doctor said I'm officially pregnant !!!!!!! She said my levels look great for 14dpo. My hcg is 34 and my progesterone is 19.4! I was puzzled at the hcg only being 34 but she said that's perfectly fine for 14dpo as long as it doubles. So I get to go get my blood drawn again tomorrow. She said the thing that makes her really happy is my 19.4 progesterone. She said they want something in the upper teens and 19.4 is nice and high. So baby(s) are attached and doing their thing . She said not to worry about my temp unless it goes up to 102. I can just take tylenol to keep it below 100. If I'm still sick on monday, I'll go the doctor...I think it's a sinus infection.

Ok...anyways. Eric gets home at 5:20. I got the call at 4:45. So I rush home and guess what....the highway is closed !!!! After sitting there for 10 minutes I finally got to my exit. Get home, drop my stuff, run to the bathroom, write upside and backwards on my tummy "HAPPY FRIDAY DADDY". At this time it was 5:15. Dh pulled up at 5:20. He came in and I shuffled to him in the kitchen and he wrapped his arms around me. Asked how I was feeling. Told him not good. He then kissed me and told me to go lay down on the couch and rest. He gave me another hug and then BOOM...I FLASHED HIM ! His eyes went straight for my tatas but I saw his eyes start to move down. He smiled and said, "Happy Friday Daddy......Aww.....wait......what.....really?" He then began screaming like a little girl, danced in a circle like he was doing the howky pokey, and grabbed me, kissed me, then began dancing with me. LOL! All the while still screaming! He then took a step back and said, " I TOLD YOU I WAS RIGHT!" I then told him that I knew since wednesday. I gave him a pitiful look and he said that ok cause I still knew before you! lol. He then ran thru the house like a muppet flinging his arms around . I followed him and he went straight to the computer to look up Paleo (primal diet) pregnancy nutrition. HAHA! I showed him a pick of what our baby (s) look like at 4 weeks. He just kept saying 'wow, this is crazy'. So for the past couple hours he's been pacing through the house bugged eyed, giggling and saying, "this is crazy, this is crazy.....BABIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!". He doesnt quite know what to do with himself now. He keeps kissing me and talking to my belly. So..should be interesting to see his emotions over the next couple days (or 8 months). That was awesome...and the marker is still on my stomach lol.

Oh Tara even I for teary reading that soo happy for u both

So my dh knows I come on this site and I was sitting here just going through posts and he said ....does it not make u depressed seeing other women on here get preg before u . I'm like no I feel like we are on a journey together we been through the highs and lows together . Dh says but other preg women make u sad I don't understand . Lol bless him its just different right ? Anyone else feel same way ?

@Lammy, I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU! It's different with everyone here :-)

YAHHHHHHH TARA!!!!!

Yes Lammy, I completely agree!

So happy for you Tara! Sending doubling vibes and sticky baby vibes your way!

And yes, it is much easier to see a fellow infertile get pg than to get lapped by the average woman. :)

AWwww!! That is so cute!! I'm so excited for you both!!

Awesome @waiting that is fantastic! Im glad you dont have to try and contain your excitement anymore! Can't wait to hear what your levels are next week.

Good luck to everyone about to start testing! I should be O'ing soon!
