1st Day hCGAs If:948 mIU/ml 2 Days hCG As If:1285 mIU/ml

My progesterone level for Saturday was 19.3... so yeah uhmm still "not negative". Will know more tomorrow when my RE's office calls and we discuss u/s etc. On a positive note it's nice to be thought of as "average"
Please again NO congratulations... last year at this exact time I had properly doubled betas and that was ECTOPIC. Yes, these numbers are different, but we are waiting for that definitive something in the uterus with a heartbeat. Then we'll breathe a bit. Until then... we're trying not to jiggle anything loose... expecting the worst but hoping for the best.

No congrats here, not so patiently waiting for the next news...
"NBHY". Will keep fingers crossed for you.
I hear you on not getting the hopes up. I have had a perfectly doubling beta, no bleeding, and am waiting for an u/s too. This after three pregnancy's in the last year, yet no take home baby. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
Hi, Sami. I was away from the Internet for a few days, so I just found your news today. I completely understand about not wanting to get your hopes up. I wish you all the best, though, and am keeping you in my prayers.
I am keeping my fingers crossed you are in my prayers
