826
826 is today's magic number!
That's my beta from yesterday.
According to Betabase, I'm about 20 dpo today.
The last time I had my beta checked I was 24dp6dt, or around 30dpo. And my beta was 11,517. That number seemed so promising.
I go back on the 23rd for another beta draw. I really hope it's much closer to zero.

I had lunch with my grandma today. The one who I was dreading telling about the miscarriage.
We had a very nice lunch. She almost always brings me a little gift each time we get together, and today was no different.
Before I reveal the gift, let's just say that I don't wear that much jewelry. I wear my wedding/engagement rings. And when I wear black or gray (most days, honestly), I rock the ring that Buster gave me for Christmas last year. And some days, I wear earrings. A couple days a week, maybe. And I almost always wear these:
I got them at a Swarovski store in NYC a couple years ago. They were part of an Alice in Wonderland collection. And I love them.
Once every couple of weeks I may wear a necklace. I have a beautiful star pendant Swarovski necklace Buster got me, but I think it clashes with the heart earrings, so I rarely wear it. Too Lucky Charms-ish, ya know?
So that's it. The extent of the jewelry I wear.
Back to my grandmother's gift to me.
It's a Leopard. In bracelet form.
It was very sweet of her, so of course I fawned all over it. It's definitely odd, but it's actually growing on me. I can't imagine I'll wear it often, though. Maybe when we go out for dinner or the movies (pfft... the last movie we saw in a theater was the final HP).

I'm a teacher and I, too, wear hardly any jewelry. The same Tiffany necklace from DH that I wear everyday and never take off, wedding ring and occasionally some stud earrings. I constantly get crazy jewelry from students... akin to your bracelet. : ) It made me smile. At least I hope it makes you smile too or gives you a chuckle. : )
ReplyDeleteI wanted to stop by and say that I am so sorry you lost your little one. There are so very many women suffering in infertility only to lose what they tried so hard for. I lost my twins at 20 weeks. It was the worst day of my life last October. I am right where you are now, trying to figure out what went wrong and just wanting to be back to normal so I can move on and try to find happiness again. You are surrounded (unfortunately) by many wonderful and understanding women. We are here for each other.
ReplyDeleteI hope to continue following and find us both with good news this year...and a take home baby.
Thinking of you, Alissa (AKA Missconception)-see below link.

i like it. its different - but beautiful!
ReplyDeletei hope your number comes down further soon. you are amazing in your strength, just so you know.
I'm sorry you weren't closer to zero today and I can relate. It took quite a while for my betas to go down after my 2 miscarriages, and I was always disappointed by how high they still were after testing.
ReplyDeleteYour "Drowning" post is great and I related to that post-m/c OB appt. I'm so sorry you're going through this.
Sorry that you aren't closer to zero- hope it gets there soon.
ReplyDeleteI love the earrings btw, very cute.
I so hope your numbers come down soon. Thinking of you...
ReplyDeleteAlso hoping the number gets to zero soon. I love the bracelet. It sounds like you have an awesome grandma.
ReplyDeleteLove those earrings and LOVE that ring!!
