IM had her hcg beta tested again on Friday and we were expecting the worst. It came back...well...sort of in the middle. 398. So, we're calling the little critter, the 5-day blast that's hopefully still there trying his best to grow "398". We're trying not to get too attached so...well...isn't it obvious why?
So, here's are numbers now:
date beta days-post-ovulation?
6/5/2009 - 70 - 15
6/8/2009 - 159 - 18
6/10/2009 - 246 - 20
6/12/2009 - 398 - 22
In case you're keeping score that is a growth rate of about 62%. That's slightly lower than the "magical" 66% that you commonly hear and read. But....it's higher than our last growth (from 159 to 246) which was 55%. Our first growth rate (between 70 and 159) was 73%. I'm not sure what to make of it all. I made a plot where I added our new point above. So, our little "398" is still hanging in there...but only barely. We have another beta test on Monday and we will hopefully see a number of over 700 or 750--something above 800 would be great.
If you're interested in a couple of hcg calculators out on the internet here's a couple here and here and here.
Ok...gotta go. We have some friends coming over for an Arrested Devolopment marathon!
