At my second beta, before they gave us any indication of a pregnancy, I brought the clinic a batch of fresh baked oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. I presented them as a bribe for positive news, and since the clinic accepted the cookies I assumed that we had a deal!
After today's beta results I feel safe to say it was a brilliant strategy on my part :)
Today's Beta #4 at 15dp3dt is 275 (with a doubling time of 34.56 hrs from the previous test)
at 9dp3dt our beta was 7.6
at 11dp3dt our beta was 30.5 (doubling time of 24.56 hrs from the previous test)
at 13dp3dt our beta is 105 (with a doubling time of 27.27 hrs from the previous test)
Our next appointment is on Monday April 18 for our first ultrasound. A second ultrasound is scheduled for May 2.
I am feeling great. Only symptoms I'm noticing are lightheadedness if I get up too fast, a sore rump from the PIO, a little bit of heartburn yesterday, and it could be in my head but I swear that I am farting way more than normal.

I calculated the winner of my giveaway last night, and will be making the announcement very soon. Stay tuned!

WOO HOOOOO FOR FARTS!!!!
OMG- the GI upset at the beginning of my pregnancy was not for the timid. My husband left a hotel room and b/c I stunk up our hotel room with it.
I swear I looked so pregnant from the bloat. Mine got better around 12 weeks, and my stomach actually went down....only to blossom again. :)
The Bloat was ridiculous. One thing that aggravated mine was OJ.
I had some lightheadedness, but the shortness of breath was off the chain.
I was freaked about not having symptoms...now I realize how blessed I was!!!!! I hope you continue to feel okay.
