383. We're doing ok. It should have been at least 128 yesterday, on its way to 256 tomorrow, so this is way more than doubling in 48 hours. I will have to wait til this evening to check on betabase, but even I can see it's good!
I have to confess that looking at last night's peestick again before I went to bed made me feel that today's answer was going to be ok - it was, by the time it had dried out a bit, considerably darker than Tuesday's.
I am very very relieved. Repeat on Monday. Let's hope this is not a repeat of pregnancy #1.
This post may appear three times as I tried to post from email twice earlier in the day. Apologies.
YAY! This is great news.

Wonderful news. Congratulations!
Posted by: Ellen K. | Monday, 03 November 2008 at 13:31
So pleased for you - congratulations.
I used to comment on here quite a bit but disappeared for a while (I got to the point where I had to stop reading all the blogs when I was feeling pretty awful in the lead up to my last IVF). Anyway, our last ditch attempt with my eggs resulted in gorgeous boy/girl twins who are now 7 months. I came back to you when I was in the depths of breastfeeding hell and you inspired me to keep going so I've been meaning to say thanks for that. I've kept up with your story on and off ever since and have kept meaning to delurk again but of course the twins keep me away from the computer!
Anyway, just wanted to say congratulations. This is great news.
