Infertility

XP: 2nd Beta In

Well results aren't great.

Last Thursday my beta was 135.

Today (4 days) it only came in at 281.

This is a doubling time of 90.8 hours, well above the 48-72 they look for.

I was very upset over this, but RE said that my progesterone level is 221 and that is most likely suppressing the HCG detected. He said he's seen this before where progesterone is horribly high and a low beta.

I'm not convinced... 3rd beta to come Thursday/Friday. I'll gladly accept any spare T&P's you guys have!
