Questions....
Dr. K told me to stop the estrogen patches and leave everything else exactly the same- metformin 3x per day, baby aspirin, synthroid and folgard 1x per day, and progesterone supps 4x per day.
He didn't mention prenatals. Should I start taking them anyway? Or just wait to call tomorrow (they're closed now).
Also- is it normal to have the betas so far apart? I thought they were usually done every other day or so... mine is a week from today...

Re: Questions....
I'm pretty certain you should take the pre-natals! But really, I guess one day won't make a difference!
My beta with LI IVF was 2 days later. Maybe b/c your numbers are high they let it go longer???? Just a guess!
Congrats again!!!

Re: Questions....
Definitely take the prenatals! I'm surprised you haven't been taking them all along...
Not sure about the betas... I thought every 48 hours to make sure the numbers double.

Re: Questions....
yes, you usually start taking them before you TTC, thats when they are most important. One day wont make a difference at this point but call your doc tomorrow.

Re: Questions....
yeah, get a prescription for prenatals. I like Citanatal best personally. At LIIVF I had my betas about 3 days apart. I would take it as a sign that they aren't very concerned at this point...no news is good news, kind of. You will probably get your beta done next week and they will then have you schedule a sono for the following week (when you are 6w pregnant).

My 2nd beta is next monday, and my first sono is the monday after that.
