And I have a beta draw today.

I thought I should wait, but then I didn't because I'm panicky like that.

So I called the mw and she said to come on in today, no need to wait.

And she also said it was so odd I called today, because she was just thinking of me this very morning, wondering when she would hear from me again. Very interesting coincidence.

We're hoping third time is a charm.

I'm looking for the initial beta to be very, very low (as it is 11 dpo) and hoping for a nice rise on Friday. That's the benefit of having it drawn today, I can have some idea by Friday other than peeing on sticks.

So cross your fingers for a) decent number and b) no blown vein this time.

{edited to add, decent number would be over 20. The median from betabase.info for 11 dpo is 23. The medium range seems to be 10-55. just for context}

Back.

I like my midwife. She was terribly amused by how early I came in, but said she didn't mind at all, there was no need to wait.

She didn't blow the vein, but she did give me a bad bruise again. Ouchie.

We agreed we'd draw again on Monday to make sure that there was plenty of time for doubling, since we anticipate a low initial number, and so we don't waste our time if it happened to be a chemical pregnancy, though she said with me having symptoms, she was very optimistic.
