... 953!!!
When I called the local clinic to get the results of beta #1 (my RE won't call until beta #2 is in) my heart was racing and I was sweating. Oh and I was pretending to be K. The first words out of the nurses mouth were "your beta is really good", so I was expecting a strong number like in the 300's. However, I wasn't expecting almost 953 at 11dp5dt! I literally almost fell over and immediately blurted out that it must be twins. The nurse laughed and then I had to explain that we transferred two hatching blastocysts to "my" uterus (remember I was pretending to be K) only 11 days ago. She just said "oh" and I thanked her for her time. I have to admit that I'm thrilled to have such a strong number, but also a little nervous (err, about more than 2). Well the good news is that K is most definitely pregnant and we are definitely expecting at this point! The 2nd beta is on Wednesday, so please think doubling thoughts!

Congrats!!! What a great first beta! I'll say it again, I'm definitely thinking you have two in there : ) Our first beta with our little girl was 1150 at 18dpo, and our doc was thinking twins but we had one strong little bean. However, your 953 is definitely high for the singleton range...can't wait for beta #2.
953?? Holy Cow! congrats to you guys!
Holy HECK! You guys are SUPER knocked up!!!!!!! I'm getting all weepy!
Congrats to you!
Yay!!!! I'm predicting g/b twins! I am sooooo happy for you!

I am doing the happy dance all over again! ahhhhhhhh I am so so so happy! I cant believe it! I think I can not think straight. Oh Niki i am so happy for you that words cannot express. I knew it was magic medicine i sent you!
Holy sh*t! That is AWESOME! What a big number:) Woohoooooo! I so can't wait for your next beta and to see you, K and J work together to bring these babies into the world:)
YAY!!! What wonderful news! I am so happy for y'all! I can't wait to see your numbers double by Beta #2!!
So excited about your beta! And with that high of a number, I agree - I'm thinking it's TWINS!!
I have heard that if an embryo splits - it doesn't *usally* raise the HCG - I think it's b/c identical twins "usually" share a placenta and the placenta is what generates the HCG. The earlier the identical twin split - the more likely the placentas are seperate. (sorry if that scares you!)
Wishing you and K the best ... can't WAIT till the ultrasound ... how ARE you getting through?
Here's to excellent news on Wednesday,
Polly

Betas don't always tell how many babies are in there. My beta with Aaron was 409 and my beta with Adam and Noah was 421 at 12dpt. No one thought I was having twins this time around...total shock on the u/s!
I really do hope it's twins for you!!!! :-) :-) Yahooo!!!!!
Double double double! I'm pretty sure it was 13dp5dt when our beta was 666 (easy number to remember!) with our twins. Yay, twins!!! :)
Amazing, incredible - congratulations!!!
Awesome first beta! Sounds like 2... maybe more.. LOL! Hope you are out congratulating!! How is K feeling??
