112!!!!!!
That's much higher than I anticipated. I was hoping for something between 60 and 80. My bleeding has completely stopped as of this morning. Last night before I went to bed there was another small clot and some brownish spotting but it wasn't bad. This infertility crap really takes you for a loop. After seeing all that blood yesterday I thought for sure this ride was over. But perhaps I just had some excess lining I had to get rid of. I suppose we can just take it one day at a time. Next beta is Friday.

Quick question- I've seen some bloggers with a beta line graph that shows normal, low and high betas and then you can enter your own beta numbers to compare. Does anyone know where I can find that?
PS- For non-IFer's a beta test is a blood test used to determine just exactly "how" pregnant you are. Are this stage in the cycle the doctor wants to see a number above 50 but any number above a 5 is technically considered a positive test. The number should double by Friday (+/- 15%) to indicate a healthy developing pregnancy. If the number does not fall within the range or is lower than the first beta then it's considered a chemical pregnancy and a miscarriage will happen. If its tripled by Friday then, well, maybe it's twins.
