After 3 days of spotting and cramping and worrying that this might all go away, I went in for another bloodtest this morning, and my beta came back at 3805!!!I'm 16pd5dt today, and according to my numbers, my beta needed to be at least 2300 today. Needless to say my beta is nice and strong!
I can't tell you how relieved I am. I was shaking so hard when the phone rang I thought I might not even be able to answer it. But after the nurse assured me that everything looked great, I felt overjoyed with relief. I feel so incredibly lucky and blessed that this is all really happening. So far so good!
They also checked my E2 and P4 today. My E2 was 1232 (they like to see it over 300) and my P2 was 30.7 (they like to see it over 6). So based on the fact that my levels are so high they are going to start weening me off some of my medication starting Saturday. I will go down from 2 vivelle patches (estrogen) every 2 days, to just one patch every other day. I will also go down from 3 endometrium (progesterone) a day, to just 2 a day. And then have my levels re-checked again on Monday.
I can hardly believe it! I suddenly feeling like doing a happy dance!
I know that nothing is ever certain and all this could still go away, but today everything is okay, and dammit, I'm going to let myself start enjoying this!
WOO-HOO!

I spotted/bled during my entire pregnancy & gave birth to a healthy baby. I know it is hard not to worry when you see blood but it is very common for women to bleed during the first trimester (~30%).
Your numbers look great! You may have 3 little guys so rest rest rest!
So thrilled you are doing great! The Snoopy dance is the happiest dance of all - hooray for super beta numbers!
It's great to read such a happy blog, Lisa. Stay that way because we are just as happy for you back here at home.
So looking forward to being with you at Christmas.
Stay well and keep growing!
