Not sure what to think anymore! Ultrasound tuesday showed nothing. The tech cautioned us before hand that it might be too early still (5 weeks 3 days) and we might not see anything, but I was still a little disappointed. They set me up for my infusion and took some blood for hcg and progesterone check. The lab was really backed up so I had to wait til wednesday morning for results. The nurse told me she'd call me first thing when she got there (around 6:30am) with the results. I waited til 7:45-no call! I had a feeling it was bad news and she chickened out about calling me. I called and spoke to the nurse manager and she confirmed that my levels were terrible, hcg 155 and prog 11. They asked me stop taking the crinone and hcg injections and go back friday for another beta. While on the phone I quickly accepted that this was another chemical pregnancy and I'd start my period any moment. But it's been 2 days since that blood draw and still nothing-not even the faintest trace of spotting?!? Has this happened to anyone before? I guess it's possible we found out about my numbers before the symptoms started which is a first for me. I usually am the one calling the doctor begging for bloodwork when I start spotting or start losing the early pregnancy symptoms. I don't want to cling on desperately in hopes of a miracle, but until I start spotting/bleeding/cramping...I just feel so torn!

Thanks miracle. I went last monday and it was up to 71. I'm trying to take comfort in that but I've had wonderful numbers in the past that have still ended in mc. I go today for blood, ultrasound and interlipid infusion. I've been going to the bathroom ten times a day to see if I'm spotting as I so often do around this point but so far so good! Every gas pain, cramp, queasy feeling I think it's my body rejecting the pregnancy...I'm kind of a paranoid freak on the inside but putting on the strongest face I can. Praying today is good news!

Thank you Angelsmomma. I stayed on my meds and took hpt thursday... Ments...I couldn't believe it was faint positive! Tested again friday morning, a darker positive. Blood draw was an 11 friday morning at the lab. My first instinct was good that it almost tripled in 48 hours, but re clinic nurse said it was lower than they'd like to see. It was still one day before my expected period!? I'm bring treated for recurrent pregnancy loss, so since I can conceive naturally we were trying on our own, no meds or monitoring, just interlipid at ovulation, metformin, progesterone. The nurse said that since they don't know when I conceived the numbers ar hard to interpret but she still thinks they are low. So once again, I'm scared to death I will miscarry for a fifth time. I'm scheduled for more blood work monday...until then just trying to will and pray that this little one holds on!

I'm sorry to hear this. From what I've seen, anything under 10 is a negative. We tend to have low levels of hcg in our systems at any given time. If it makes you feel better, keep taking the medicine for another week and have another blood draw.
