2nd beta in!

My doctor doesn't do repeat betas, but I was freaking out on Thursday because my bbs didn't feel as sore when I woke up that a.m. I went in to get my bloodwork done and finally got my results back today.

10 dpo (3 weeks, 3 days) - HCG was 46, progesterone was 24.2

18 dpo (4 weeks, 4 days) - HCG was 2884, progesterone was 23.6

The nurse said both my numbers look good. Should I worry that my progesterone level is lower especially since my doctor put me on prometrium 200 mg suppositories daily?

I have my first appointment and ultrasound this Wednesday. What should I expect to see on the u/s at 5 weeks and 3 days? Thanks ladies!

I think your numbers look great! As for the u/s at 5w3d, I would expect to see the sac and yolk sac. I had an u/s at 6w1d and still could not see the embryo. I quickly learned that this is VERY common so early on and 2 weeks later saw my porkchop and his little heartbeat going strong. My point is, don't freak out like I did if you can't see your bean just yet. GL!

Yay, that's great!  I think your progesterone numbers look fine too.  I had an u/s at 5 weeks 6 days and we saw the heartbeat (although I was measuring ahead).  You probably won't see a h/b that early, but you should see the sac.  Best of luck!

Congrats! Those numbers look great! It is perfectly normal for progesterone to fluctuate. Mine actually dropped from 35 to 20, which is when I started taking prometrium and things have been fine since. GL at your u/s this week!

yay for great betas!!  congrats!  at 5w3d, you should see a sac & maybe a fetal pole, i think.  probably not much else, & sometimes that can be hard to see so early.  Good luck!

That's great!  According to the betabase calculator your hcg is doubling in about 30 hours, which is fantastic.  I don't know about the prog supps, but I think they just want to see you above 15, right?  Good luck at your u/s; don't be too discouraged if you don't see much, it's still very early... although it sounds like things are off to a great start.
