Beta #6 and Additional Test Pictures

Fabulous news, my beta hCG came back today at 2880. That's a doubling time of 51.53 hours and I am officially scheduled for an ultrasound! I also made this chart today to remind myself how exponential increases work, and it's very pretty:

The other good news, at least I think it's good news, is that my giant OHSS-swollen belly is receding little by little. I no longer look grotesquely bloated and I'm much more comfortable overall. The slightly worrisome thing is that I've stopped vomiting and my nausea has receded to a dull roar that I can ignore most of the day; I was relying on that as another symptom of pregnancy and an indicator that all was proceeding as planned. Then again, it's wonderful not to be so sick all the time. I could really get used to this "eating food" thing.

Looking at the search criteria that have led people to this site over the past few days, I see that my picture of Wondfo test strips has gotten some action, so I am pleased to present here an updated photo showing my progression from 4dp5dt (9dpo) to 13dp5dt (18 dpo):

I stopped testing for two reasons: one, after you're producing a certain amount of hCG, the test stops being very sensitive and the line sort of maxes out (though in my experience it never got quite as dark as the control line.) And two, I ran out of tests. If you're looking to compare your own Wondfo test strip, here are the things I can say that might help: this is a singleton pregnancy, and it's really true that on the urine tests, a line is a line. You need a blood test to really give you a quantitative number. Good luck!
