Yes, I have been pregnant before but never before now did any of my doctors ever refer to the word beta. Until recently when I referred to the word beta, I was usually referencing one of those lonely fish who sit idol, motionless in a tiny bowl on a shelve at the local pet store.
Anyway, so let's talk about what it means in the medical world. It is basically a blood test that measures the amount of HCG in the blood. HCG is the pregnancy hormone that you want to always see rising!
Our embryo transfer was on 8/3
1st beta on 8/11 was 103
2nd beta on 8/18 was 2,257 (insert BIG smiley face here!)
3rd beta on 8/27 was 26,841 (saw 1 baby on sonogram)
I am SOOO happy :)
