FINALLY..........(UPDATE!!!) I am so nervous..........I hate waiting for "the call".
I had my 2nd beta this morning and now I am just waiting for the results. I am SO nervous!!! Still getting faint lines with the FRER but "Pregnant" on the digitals. My hcG was 19 on Sat. and they want to see it go up at east 60% today which would put it at around 30 or so.
I am that they call me with good news so I can breathe a little. I hate all the uncertainty in the beginning. I will update after I get the results.
As for symptoms, I am still very tired all day, a little queasy off and on, and some mild cramping intermittently.
UPDATE 1:35pm Finally heard from the doctor. So far.........it's a BFP and everything is progressing okay. My hcG went from 19 to 26 which is a little less than they wanted to see (they wanted a 50% increase) BUT it did increase. Plus, they also had me do the 2nd beta only 2 days after the first when usually they have you come back after 3 days. My progesterone went from 23 to 17 which they said is fine because progesterone levels fluctuate when pregnant. They are having me come back on Thursday for another beta and I am hoping after 3 days we'll see a really good increase. I will keep you posted!!

I missed the first update! The waiting for that call is awful! Do anything you can do distract yourself. I hope they call earlier rather than later! They were usually pretty good about that , they know you are anxious!
Re: I am so nervous..........I hate waiting for "the call".
I'm in your boat! I had my 2nd beta this morning too. My 1st one was at 14dpo and today is 20dpo--with the snow and all, I didn't go any earlier. My first set of results was good and my OB told me I could "exhale," but because my last pregnancy ended in a m/c, I guess I really won't be able to exhale for quite a while...

YAY congratulations!!!! Sooo exciting!!! Good Luck.
I have a question though... what kind of doctor do you go to that does those tests? and do you have to ask for them to take certain tests, or do they just decide? I'm sorry... don't mean to sound invasive... I'm just about to start looking in to doctors and I don't know the norm for the testing part. I never had any tests when I was pregnant.
