F/U to beta #4 worried post - good u/s!

My doctor hasn't called yet, so I'm still waiting to discuss my hcg & progesterone levels with him this afternoon.  But we did have our first u/s this morning, and we saw a baby and a heartbeat!  That definitely makes me feel better.  (Although we did have a heartbeat prior to our miscarriage last time, I have had no bleeding this time around, so thumbs up to that!!) 

The baby measured 5 wks 6 days and had a heart rate of 103 bpm.  So that looks normal, and there's one major milestone passed.  So happy about that!  Hopefully my hcg levels are just rising a bit more slowly now that they're getting higher.

    Take a deep breath! Betas do stop doubling every 48-72 hours once you approach 6 weeks. In fact, I believe most RE's say that after week 6 betas are pretty much irrelevant because the numbers can be all over the place. If you had a good u/s just be happy about that and don't stress over the beta number. Congrats on a healthy baby so far. =]
