Tomorrow is Beta day! I am definitely still pregnant though. :) Yesterday I didn't take a pregnancy test in the morning to show Jonathan because I'm all out of the red dye line tests. So while I was eating lunch Jonathan sent me a test asking if our line had disappeared. I said no, I just hadn't taken a test yet but that'd I take my last digital and send him the picture. So I finished my lunch and by then had to use the restroom. I hadn't been holding it or restricting liquids to ensure my urine was concentrated. That digital test came up positive faster than any other one I've taken yet!! Also, to help Jonathan feel a little better, I showed him the blue dye test....can't get much darker than that!
Not to mention, I'm CRAVING steak and pepperoncinis (like I'd probably kill someone if they tried to prevent me from eating them lol), peeing 100 times a day and night, and exhausted all the time. In fact, I may very well be asleep as I type this. Haha! But back to the Beta...
I pulled up the average betas reported from Betabase.info to compare the twins' betas to as well as to have when I find out tomorrow's number. Now of course, betas don't always tell the bean count (I've known women who had really high betas and only had a singleton growing and women with really low numbers that had twins.) But it's fun to try and guess, especially since we won't have the ultrasound for several more weeks. Here are the charts:

With the twins my betas were 54 at 10dpo, 139 at 12dpo, and 1392 at 18dpo. They were definitely more in line with twin betas.
With the twins, I had two, MAYBE three potential follicles two days before the IUI (we didn't do an ultrasound on the day of IUI like we did this time). t got my first positive FRER at 4am on 9dpo.
This time, we know that I had three mature follicles at IUI. My first positive FRER was around 10am on 9dpo and it was slightly lighter than the twins' test. Tomorrow I will be 14dpo and will have my blood drawn around 8am.
What do YOU think tomorrow's beta will be? ;)
