Second beta just in ~ 238!
My first beta two days ago was 82, so the number almost tripled. Whew! Once you're pregnant at this age (35) you worry a little about miscarriage and quality of eggs.
My progesterone is good too, it was measuring at the maximum the machine could read, which means it's over 45.
I was reading on some other sites that high progesterone in early pregancy could mean multiples. (I had 3-4 follies) but my nurse says she doesn't think so, but they are doing a third beta next week to check my numbers again.

Yea, it's so hard to tell by betas to determine multiples this early. The beta range is so wide at 4 weeks. I doubt it's multiples, and to be honest, I hope it is only one. Because I just dont want any risks, AT ALL, if you know what I mean. :D
Although you probably know about this chart, I thought I would include it here for reference:

Congrats and I know how you feel about worrying about the age thing! I'm 39 and so thankful we were able to get pregnant again. Looks like we will hopefully be going thru this together!
