All,
I just discovered this board and have reviewed many of the messages .. What a great help you all are to each other.
I'm hopeful to gain some insight from you as I wait out my next few tests.
Here's the story (hopefully in a nutshell):
2/7 -- chem pg -- m/c (from second cycle of IUI+inj)
2/14 -- Beta to 1.4
Vacation week of 2/20 (planned before m/c -- we were going to take a break this month anyway).
3/18 -- No AF, so I did an HPT, very dark line!
3/18 -- 7 a.m. went to RE for Beta -- came back 13,308
(Office thinks that equals 8 weeks, but it's not due to m/c on 2/7)
3/21 -- RE does u/s -- only sees one sac, thinks should also see fetal pole and h/b based on #. Sac measures 5.5 weeks (so what's that 5w2d?). RE nice, slightly hopeful, but not optimistic this will last. (Based on my research, maybe I shouldn't see more than sac until at least 5w5d?)
3/21 -- After u/s they do another beta -- 20,260 (that's a doubling rate of 128 or so hours)
3/24 -- They're going to keep watching betas (dr. is on vaca. week of 3/28) Beta on this day is 22,027 (doubling rate of almost 500 hours -- nurse is less optimistic than before).
3/28 -- Beta is 29,869 (doubling rate of 224 hours) -- Nurse is hopeful, but thinks this is a mystery.
I'm going back 3/31 for another beta, and probably 4/4 .. I have another u/s scheduled for 4/5 if numbers keep increasing.
By my calculations, I'm 6w2d now (if sac measurement was correct last week).
Any insight ... I'm looking for hope and reality.
Thank you so much!
