I emailed our doctor the news of the HPT this morning around 7.45am – he replied by 8.00am – feel free to come in for a Blood test ASAP – we were at the hospital by 9.10am – out by 9.30am.
Got the results at 12pm.
860! Yikes!
Sounds like a good number to me. He has now instructed me to relax, stop obsessing, continue taking the meds and come for a scan in mid-to-late January, around the 6-7 week mark.
What a MAD DAY.

I know….I even bought a new bottle of gin yesterday in preparation for today’s failure booze up. Oh well, happy to wait a bit longer for that extra large G&T.

Excellent beta!
Man alive, they’re relaxed over there! My RE would have a 6w4d ultrasound scheduled by now and a second beta for 48 hours from now. Reading this, I think your REs way is better. The US way is so stressful!

Yep – our healthcare system is free which might explain why they are a bit reticent about tests over here! Fine by me, I definitely need to chill out a bit over the next few weeks.

Congrats! I knew it! You can compare your beta on betabase.com, if you want. Or you can just chill out and feel good for a while, and try not to compare yourself to everyone else. 🙂 welcome to pregnancy. It’s a whole new rollercoaster but it’s got a lot more ups!

One suggestion – have your scan at 7 weeks if you can. Yes, it’s a week more to wait, but it’s conclusive by then, no confusion around whether or not there’s a heartbeat, etc.

Thanks for the tip – great idea. Hopefully we’ll make it that far – 6 fresh cycles and 3 early miscarriages, I don’t want to count my chickens. I’m feeling cautiously excited today though!
