A slender reed of hope

Beta #3 was today - 102 and estradiol and progesterone still holding high. It didn't double in 72 hours but it made more progress than last time.

My doctor says numbers under 100 tend to behave oddly and not necessarily double in 48-72 hours. Since my beta keeps rising and my other numbers are good (which he says is promising) we're going to take another beta on Monday. At this point, because my number is now over 100, we're looking for something in the 200-400 range for Monday to have hope.

On one hand I feel like they are stringing me along - but on the other, any chance for this baby to be viable is a chance I am willing to take. Please pray for me and hope for a miracle.

After 2 losses, IVF #2 brought us our little boys.

    Wow..I'm sorry you are in beta hell right now. :(

    If I remember right, Smilee also had something similar and now has her healthy baby boy!

    I'll be thinking of you...I was wondering what happened today.
