I am pulling for both of you. When i was going through it, I just wanted to know either way and it seemed like forever before I knew it wouldn't work out. I'll be praying that it works out for you both!!!

Thanks Leslie for your support and encouragement.
It's nice to know that I am not alone.
Yes, I am also tired of surfing the web - reading articles and message boards about slow risers is making me crazy ... I have to stop
I will be thinking of you as well
Good luck!

Thanks Kbat
Are you going through a cycle now?
I know you said your numbers were much lower in a previous cycle - were they increasing much at all? DH and I just mapped our BETAs and compared it against a doubling BETA and a 60% increase. Graphically it's much easier to read and see the differences

Had another level this morning and it was 1085. :cry:

Doc would have liked to see it double by now so they want to rule out an ectopic. Said it could still be Ok but they are concerned. So, I am having an ultrasound Monday morning. They do not expect to see a hearbeat (because it's too early).

They told me to watch out for pain and call if I have any this weekend. Meanwhile, DH and I are going away with a group of friends this weekend.


Oiy!!!!!!!


On one hand, I am glad we are doing the ultrasound - now I will hopefully have a better idea of what is going on. On the other hand, I am completely stressed out.
