Congrats again!View Thread

Thanks for the tip on the US. I'm so happy it's only 8 days away now. I went in yesterday and my levels went from 750 to 7,049 in 5 days (doubled over 3.5 times), which is really good. That definitely helped to calm me down and to confirm my baby is growing well.
I haven't had morning sickness yet, but I do feel like I'm getting sick today... so it hasn't been too bad yet. I'll update you on the telling the parents!View Thread

I wanted to ask people how their HCG levels are doing. It took me quite a while to get pregnant so the doctor has been watching my levels very closely. Here is where my first 3 have come in.
4w4d = 349
4w6d = 750
5w4d = 7,049
I was expecting my last one to be in the 3-4,000 range based on the time, so I was super excited it went up so much.
Anyone know if it's OK that my levels doubled over 3.5 times in only 5 days? How are your numbers? Anyone hear that higher levels means a girl (thought I read that somewhere?)View Thread

I am glad to know that checking for blood is a common thing during pregnancy. I go in today for some labs, so I'm hoping the levels go way up which will let me relax a little bit. We are actually getting our first US on May 11th, so hopefully we can give them a picture of that. I guarantee it'll be a mothers day they never forget. Keep me updated how this pregnancy is going!View Thread
