Congrats on the second great beta!! Hope you don't throw up since you have such a fear, but when I warned you of the next step of the OCD, that was what I was talking about...whole new set of worries, lol. I was begging to be nauseous or anything since finally getting pg was 4.5 years in the making, but only had one day of nausea and I was freaked out day after day that I wasn't PG anymore. Of course everyone thought i was nuts, only woman that wanted to be sick, but IFers can understand that, lol. I wouldn't have known I was PG for months had I not seen the ultrasounds.
Beta numbers can definitely widely vary, we transferred 2 and got a first beta of 276 at just 12dp3dt, and exactly 48hrs later, had 770. Even my doctor said to be prepared for twins, and I got really excited about that, but the u/s just showed one. Felt bad that I felt sad about that, but everyone put so much stock into the #'s that all I was thinking was twins. I've seen much lesser numbers be twins also, just a toss up. Those are good, strong betas though, so that's awesome for you....and I'm sure if it split you would take the twins too.
Good luck on holding out on the gender reveal

. I think I was the only one on the whole board at my time of PG that was a yellow team member til the end. I wanted that "it's a...." moment too, but what's really funny is, we held out, and I still didn't get that moment, lol. I pushed for 2.5 hours, and when Shelby finally came out (scraped head and all), I was so exhausted that I just fell back on the table and couldn't even open my eyes. My husband was so excited and crying that she was even out, that he forgot to even look. My doctor didn't say anything, guess she assumed my husband saw, and a while later when they were done cleaning her off, my husband came over to me and check on me, and I had to ask him what it was....he laughed because he had even forgot to ask the doctor or even notice what she was when she came out...he finally saw her parts when he was standing next to the bassinette, lol.
I can count on ONE hand the number of people, even from strangers, that guess girl.....the entire world put in their guesses and EVERYONE said boy. I didn't even want to know her heartrate during ultrasounds (of which we had many because she had a heart arrythymia inutero), because I know so many people guess from that. Sadly, it slipped one time, and it was really low, so I then thought everyone was right and assumed boy too. Shelby proved everyone wrong, lol.
I hope you have a wonderful pregnancy, and just remember every symptom just means your baby is doing well and growing in there
