Beta #5 - Not looking good & a confession

Only a 45% rise since Weds so things are not looking good.  I have one more on Monday but the Nurse Practioner was sounding very glum.  I betabased it and we're at 88.96 hours so there's still some hope.

Now for the confession - and this truly flameworthy stuff - I stopped taking my progesterone.  I really don't think I have a progesterone issue and my numbers are holding up - I'm at 45 today and I took my last suppository Sunday night.  If this is a CP I want it over with ASAP.  I don't have the time for another loss - this is cutting into my life plans [laughs hysterically here].  Damn it - I thought we'd be working on baby #2 by now.

So if you got this far and you have any thoughts or prayers to spare - please pray for good numbers on Monday.

    sending tons of positive vibes your way that the numbers go up for you and that this is a sticky bean. its not over till it's over, right? and far be it from me to judge you on the progesterone. if you feel strongly that your numbers are good and you don't need the suppositories that's totally up to you. and i can definitely understand wanting to not have the delay if it is a chem. pg. stay strong.

    Keeping my fingers crossed that this is just a slow starting bean!  Hang in there.

    I'm so sorry Oscar.  T&Ps your levels can recover.  
    I give up trying to get a ticker.  I have a DD that is 2.5 years old and is awesome.  Maybe I'll add a quote to distinguish myself.  Hmmm.  How about...

    Positive vibes sent. I don't know enough about progesterone to comment on that, but I really hope those beta numbers pick up.

    Oh Oscar prayers sent up for you that Monday's #'s look good. FWIW my RE just started using progesterone because he felt that there wasn't enough stats to support it's use. Hope that eases your mind.

    I hope your next beta comes back with good numbers.  I hate the suppositories too.

    I'm so sorry you are going through this - it's total torture.  I understand what you are saying about the progesterone.  ((hugs))
