    Crossing everything SO hard it's just a late implanter!! I really hope Monday's betas look way better.

    I have no advice re: taking more tests. I don't know if it would tell you anything or not.

    Yay beta's.  A HPT may or may not tell you anything.  I kept testing after the positive because I was crazy paranoid and would compare them from one day to the next.  They gradually got darker, but nothing predominant within a few days.  It was the ones a week later that definitely showed a difference.

    Not a Dr or nurse but 47 sounds fine to me.

    IMO repeat testing with HPTs just makes one crazy.

    Big congrats!!!!!! This is such wonderful news.

    Congrats xan! Beta sounds fine to me. I loathe dr's offices that make judgements on the first beta. Doubling is what you want to see. My first beta for this pregnancy was low-80ish? And it didn't actually double on the second test. By the third it was on track and fine. I did keep testing this time around but it did take days or so for the lines to get darker. I kept them all out on the counter in a line so I could stand there an analyze. I think you're fine though. Hope Monday confirms!
    Thanks to our wonderful RE our family is complete!
