HCG is 12,041 (was 4128 3.5 days ago)
Progesterone is 39.7 (was 26 3.5 days ago)


The doubling time is now 54 hours. The doubling time between the last two was 43 hours.

RE said the #s are good, but he is still very concerned about not seeing much of anything in the sac. He said this could be a blighted ovum. Ugh. The one time an egg makes it through my tube in my entire life! He also said this still could be OK and it might have just been on the periphery and therefore he was unable to see it. He said that is not a common thing to happen, but it does happen occasionally. He told me to come back Tuesday for another u/s and if we don't see anyting then, then we need to talk about what to do. He said that would be a. d&c or b. wait for a mc on my own. He said given that this pg seems to be taking off, he is concerned that waiting and not doing anything may not be good because it might be a long time and the sac may get quite large.

This is not going to be a fun w/e.

I wish I had finished my paperwork before getting this call.

    I wouldn't worry too much (easy for ME to say, right?). Your numbers look great. You saw a sac on u/s. You aren't even 6 wks along... I would say that things are just where they should be. Since you weren't going through tx, it is possible that you O'ed after you thought... even a couple of days would make a HUGE difference at this stage.

    I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers until your u/s on Tuesday. I have a feeling you'll be sharing good news with us then.

    Your hormone levels are excellent, I hope that there's just a stubborn, slow pg starting off. I'm glad that your doctor is being honest with you and not giving you false hope, though. I'd hate for him to string you along and make you think things are fine and dandy if they may not be. I'm still praying for a late bloomer ! You will know for sure in a few days what is going on. I know it's hard being in limbo like this.

    Sending lots of +++ thoughts your way - the numbers look great to me too so hopefully the little bugger is just being stubborn in presenting his/her self

    Numbers look good. I'm so sorry that you're stuck in wait-and-see mode. That is so freakin' stressful. I'll be keeping y'all in my thoughts this weekend.

    You are in my thoughts and prayers. I sure hope the weekend goes quickly for you.
    Are you a Harry Potter nut ? That book could keep you busy.
    Wishing you morning sickness and exhaustion

    I'm sorry you are being tortured with all this 'wait and see'. It really does bite.
    I'm praying all looks good next week...I've been reading along... I know how much you want this little bean...
    Hang in there...

    I'm hoping that you have a late bloomer like Miles. We were convinced that his cycle was a bust just based on the early numbers.

    Keeping you in my thoughts!

    :

    The waiting is so hard!! But, you also have no clue when implantation really happened, so try not to worry too much about not seeing much yet. Natural pg's are much harder to pinpoint, even if you do have regular cycles.
