Beta Update

God continues to bless us with good news. My beta today was 240. They wanted it to be over 100. Today was the 11th day past transfer. My beta with the girls was 117 at 10 days past transfer, so this is proportionately, a stronger number. I don't know if that means anything or not, but it was encouraging nonetheless.

My insurance only covers one beta, so we won't learn anything new again until the ultrasound, which will be in 3-4 weeks. I get the date for that on Tuesday. That's when we'll learn if it's one baby or two and I think that's when I get released to my regular OB, too.

They did tell me that that aside from genetic abnormalities with the babies, my insulin going all over the map is my biggest risk for miscarriage, so now I'm trying to be super careful with what I eat and really limiting any starch and sugar. Can you please pray with me that I would make a good transition into doing that? Thank you!

Thank you for your prayers and celebration with us. We know these little lives are a miracle and we give all glory and honor to the God who created them!

And now, just for fun...I picked two because we don't know if they're boys or girls yet, so let's be equal opportunity! :)

  9. I do know that my number when I was pregnant with the boys was EXTREMELY high. So much so that my doctor's comment was that I was VERY pregnant. I didn't know what that meant until a week later. I don't remember how hight it was though, but it took my doctor by surprise.

  10. Great numbers! YAY!!

    Jen, you can do this transition into keeping your insulin under control with ease-just remember what's at stake and let God guide you. I will be praying for your willpower and strength and I will take it on WITH you. I have been dieting on & off since Feb. and the starches, carbs & sweets are always my achilles heel. So I am standing right next to you on the low carb, starch, sweets front and will be holding your hand. YOU CAN DO IT! or should I say WE!
