I have to go for another beta. My number was 574 on Saturday, 6/20. I was hoping for double or single digits, but alas, it wasn't, so I go again on Friday or Saturday.
Bah.
I just want this to be over.
Luckily the bleeding has tapered off to just spotting, which is a welcome relief. As soon as it stops all together, and the betas go down even further I will hop back on the met.formin and begin temping again. Oh the joys of temping. My BBT has gone down a bit, as I was running a low grade fever for a while (the doctor said it was just due to the hormones-since I was on the antibiotics (death pill) it was unlikely an infection).
The words of support and gifts from family and friends are still coming in on a daily basis. Yesterday I received a beautiful bouquet of flowers from a co-worker and immediately burst into tears. The mamas over at two hot mamas sent us a beautiful angel and stuffed monkey in honor of our little Sprout. I am amazed at the amount of support and encouragement we have received from friends, family, and everyone else. I am also amazed at the amount of women that have gone through miscarriages and even 2nd trimester ones. And eventhough I know that all miscarriages are different and all traumatic in their own way, I am still looking to connect with someone that had a similar experience as I did. My body was crashing, and I have no idea why.
Also, we have decided that we are switching OBs. We like our OB, but she is about 35 minutes away (with good traffic) and her hospital is even further. We need someone closer and affiliated with our local hospital. I have been doing some research among friends and online and I think I found who our next OB will be. I just have to call and make sure she is taking new patients and accepts both of my insurances.
I like having a plan. It makes me feel more in control, even though I know that only God is control.

I hope your numbers go down soon, and I'm glad they're tracking them for you. I've always felt that plans helped me, and when dealing with our own miscarriage, it was what saw me through some of the trickiest spots - thinking about what came next.
Much love.
Hey ladies. My betas took about a month to go down completely. They said it takes so long because HCG is stored in your fat cells. I am happy to hear that you have such a wonderful support system, it was the only thing that got me through some days.
