All I can say is WOW! If you and your little one can now prove this ectopic stuff wrong, then I'd say this is the Blockbuster of the summer. I think you can, am really hoping you can..let's keep the good news coming!
I have had two ectopic pregnancies and both times, my HCG increased, but slowly -- it did not double! And, my boobs never got sore -- So the more symptoms you have, the better the chance this little one is in the right place!!
And, a girl friend of mine had a full period after her transfer and she just kept up with the progesterone shots and is expecting any day now!!! Hang in there!

hello hope,grest news that your hcg is still going up and i hope that everything goes ok for you,best of luck,what a nigtmare all the waiting must be though.
loads of luck,love loopy,
I feel so stupid, I wish someone, even the IVF nurse had told me that I can get AF and still be pg. I think she figured that since my numbers were so low it made sense. I really feel awful. I know this probably isn't the best mindset right now. I looked up a bunch of stuff on the internet and everything points to this isn't going to be a viable pg. Sometimes the internet is a real curse!! Started the progesterone last night and started with a teeny bit of spotting again, could there be a connection?
Can't wait till the ultrasound tomorrow, that should tell us alot.
Thanks for all the "I know of a woman who..." stories, you don't know how much faith I put in those!!

That's great that you'll have an ultrasound tommorrow. It will definately answer some questions for you, I think. Hoping all is well and things look good in there for a healthy little one (and for your health too)!

Here's the latest update, we saw the embryo but no yolk sac so not ectopic. Tech said it's about 1/2 the size they usually see. HCG more than doubled over the last 2 days, went up to 1308 and progesterone 25.1. Doc, tech and nurse all said that there is a possiblity that it could grow OK but it's low. I go back on Monday for another scan and bw. This is going to be a long 5 days!! Anyone hear of embryo being small but then OK?
I love/hate the weekends, I feel a bit like I have to hibernate from my friends because I don't want to tell them what is going on and I don't want to lie. And there are times where I'm just not in the mood. One of my neighbors just had a baby and all the ladies are organizing to take the family dinner each night. I feel bad, but I just can't do it right now.

I believe that if your hcg keeps doubling that you are still in the running for a successful pregnancy. This is total sh*t that you have to keep going back and nobody can tell you anything for sure. My thoughts are prayers are with you.
Hi Hope
I am so sorry that this is dragging on with no definate answer for you it must be so hard and the next 5 days will be so long. I am really hoping that when monday comes it will be good news for you.Keep thinking positively and taking care of yourself and your little one as things are going in the right direction.
