Third and final beta

I had my third beta draw on Wednesday (19 DPO) and my number came back at 1872!! Dr. DeRosa actually called me (instead of Shelly) to give me my number because it was so high. He told me to be prepared for the possibility of twins (or more). He said, "There's probably two, maybe three, and let's hope not four!" I immediately felt sick to my stomach when he told me. I was excited and freaked out at the same time. I know it's all speculation right now, but the thought of having two children at once scares the crap out of me. With Eddie's pregnancy, I was really excited to find out it was twins, but now that I have Eddie, I don't think I can handle twins AND E5! I'm scheduled for my first u/s on Monday at 9:00, so I guess we'll know more then. Right now I'm just hoping and praying that this pregnancy is in the right spot (not ectopic) and that it's not a blighted ovum. It's going to be a looooooooong weekend!

Here's a breakdown of my betas:

10 DPO: 22
12 DPO: 82 (doubling time of 25.29 hours)
19 DPO: 1872 (doubling time of 37.23 hours)

The good news is that I'm definitely pregnant and things are looking good for now. I just have to keep hoping and praying that things continue to go well. I'll definitely keep you all updated!
