Crisis averted?

After tears shed last night, thinking the worst AND letting the internet thoroughly freak us out...

...our beta came out awesome!

1199 AND guess who got her DPO measurements wrong on the hCG chart she last posted- oh yeah, that would be me.  So this is what our chart should look like.

Its no longer on the average side.  Before it was pointed out to me that I had our days past ovulation wrong, Janet had conversations with the nurses in which they indicated that our doctor thinks that the reason for the red and brown bleeding and craping was because we currently have twins...and that the symptoms are of them "hunkerin' down".  I know that doctors are normally pulling crap out of the sky at this point, but still, it made me feel a lot better- and hearing the beta number- TOTAL elation.

Thanks so much for all the good thoughts, prayers, and juju!!!

Sometimes Average is Great!

If ovulation day is the same as our egg retrieval day, we are trending on the average side for Singleton values-  W00T!

Janet's first sonogram is scheduled for 11/18.  That seems like an awfully long time for us to continue to obsess over if things are going ok or not.  I thought the wait to conceive was awful, but this is downright terrifying.  Every symptom takes us to Google.

On a side note, thanks so much for all the book feedback and support.  Between Kindle books and half.com I think we will be drowning in information.

One more question.  We have friends who are looking for information on clinics that have egg sharing programs.  If there is any chance you would provide the clinic info, I would be super duper greatful!

Beta 1 = 174

It's real now!!!
As I watched Janet last night and this morning, I can see her beginning to let herself accept and feel happy that this is indeed a pregnancy. For the past couple of years, I've been swooning every time I saw kid’s clothes, stores, etc. Janet would indulge me and accompany me in/around them, but she wouldn't really get "involved" in the gushing. Now, she actually asked to go look through the stores- wooooo hooooo! I'm allowed to start buying books- I would like to avoid "What to Expect when Your Expecting" because I've heard it’s just a bit too much- but I could be persuaded otherwise. Any others you fabulous people would recommend?
