Had my repeat beta this morning and just got the result - 3,622! They wanted to see it increase 10 times (from 278 -> 2,780), so she said I did well. Progesterone had dropped to 461. I have to wean off the pessaries over the next few days, so hopefully I'll start getting some more sleep. Hello early bedtime!! I feel a bit less nervous about stopping them after the FS said that each pessary only contributes 10 to that level.

We're booked in for our first scan in 2 weeks from today. DH's mother has been asking questions, so hopefully we can work out how to keep her in the dark until then, but to be honest I think she'll guess. If the scan goes well we'll hopefully be able to get a photo (even if it means using the phone to take a photo of the screen) so we can email it to my parents (who just left on a 2 month trip on Tuesday) and show it to DH's parents.

ETA: Does anyone know where to get some non-alcoholic champagne?
