It's in! Today's HCG level is 463.
The first one was 94 on December 24th.
Doubling time is 38 hours.
A good doubling time is between 48 and 72 hours, so our numbers are looking really good!
Jenn is the biz! Next beta test is on Wednesday, ultrasound is scheduled when HCG reaches 1,000.

Fabulous! Jenn IS the biz!
Congrats! The beta should be at 1000 pretty soon here! :)
I am excited and grateful for your glarious news!!
excellent beta! At first I was thinking one (with the original beta) but this is sneakily looking like it could be a twin number now. ;)
