Beta #4 and Ultrasound

luckygal3luckygal3 member
in Trouble TTC

Quick referesher:

Beta #1=117,  Beta #2=171,  Beta #3=558 (96 hours after beta 2)

They were concerned because my numbers weren't doubling like they should. The scheduled me for an ultrasound this morning to see if it was ectopic. I went in and we could see a tiny little blip measuring 5 weeks 1 day. They aren't positive it's a sac but they didn't see anything in my tubes. They decided to do a 4th beta hoping it would be over 1100. I just got a call from the nurse and it was 1498! Thats a very good sign. My progesterone was only 13 so I will begin progesterone supplements tomorrow and I go back in for another ultrasound next Friday. We are not out of the woods but I am feeling a bit more hopeful.

Thank you ladies for all your thoughts, prayers and support. I really appreciate it. i don't think I could have gotten through this without you. I still have a long road in front of me but it's looking a bit more positive. Hopefully next week we will see a heartbeat.
