beta #2 is in (ETA- some feels)

edited August 2013 in GP Moms
came in at 821!

Another beta sept 4th!

It's about half the number I had with my twins (1,699), so I think I have a singleton. Which makes me a little sad since I was robbed of twins in the first place. But as long as I have a healthy baby I guess that's all I can really ask for! Especially since we never thought we would ever get to have bio kids in the first place.

  • @thecuddleeffect - Betas are not the be all and end all of predicting twins!  My betas were never high:

    16dpIUI: 261 

    18dpIUI: 486

    20dpIUI:1,229

    You'll have to wait for an US, but I know you will be just as thrilled with 1 once you see that heartbeat ;)

  • Woohoo so happy to hear that! I can see why you would feel that way about a singleton and I know you will be happy with one happyhealthy baby but I think it is okay to bedisappointed (I don't know if/think disappointed is the right word).

    I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling sad, but it's completely understandable. What happened to you wasn't fair. I'll keep my FX though that you'll be pleasantly surprised with two when you go in for your ultrasound. :)

    Regardless I am hoping you get your take home baby or babies and that they are healthy. ((Hugs))

    I don't know what the right word is either. :-/ Because I am not disappointed in having a baby. I think I'm forever going to be heartbroken that I don't get to keep my first babies.
