Well my betas came in from yesterday. They went from 11,802 on Monday (4w5d/20dpo) to 17,064 on Wednesday (5w1d/22dpo). So that's a doubling time of 90 hours, which at these levels should be normal. So I'm not out yet.
My only concern is why we didn't see a yolk sac yesterday. At 17,064 you should totally see one right? And even though I was 5w1d, they said the gestational sac measured 5w5d, so I should have seen the yolk sac by then right? Maybe this LO is just a slow grower? It's possible yeah?
Anyway, follow-up u/s is set for next Friday so I'm basically in limbo until then. Fx this little guy is just taking his time. (Though the limbo wait has never ended well for me so it's going to be hard to stay optimistic - I should be 6w3d at the u/s and so far that's right around the time I've lost my other ones).
Also, sorry for being such an AW this week. Thanks for putting up with me through this roller coaster week of hell!
The limbo is so hard! But it sounds like things are sill in the realm of normal. Totally possible things are just starting slowly or it's too early. Sending lots of warm thoughts your way. Hope this week flies by! ((Hugs))

Those are good numbers! I really think it's just too early to see anything. My doctor told me to not freak today if we didn't see anything. I know how much limbo sucks but I'm sending lots of positive thoughts! I'm really hoping for a good update next Friday!
I'm really happy to hear about your numbers! That's great news and all you need to be thinking about for the next week. Hang in there and try not to wear yourself out with worry. grow little one!

Pregnant again! Due August 8, 2015 please be healthy, little one!
(results on 2/4/15 showed no Down's and it's a girl!)
Your numbers are awesome!! Many thoughts and prayers sent your way! Keep positive as much as you can, it's not over till it's over. :-) Good luck on your ultrasound next week!!
@meladoriestar How's it going today?? I keep thinking about you. Still spotting? Hope your weekend is full and keeps your mind off things a bit!
Well back and forth. I'm going insane. Yesterday and today I've had very very light spotting. But at one point last night it was a bit darker and there was a small clot in it in the TP. I've also had period type cramps, but very mild, since yesterday, on and off. And just to indulge my crazy I started temping again. My ave. pregnancy temp is about 98.3. The day after I first started progesterone it jumped to 98.6 but then the next morning it dropped to 98.1 and then this morning again to 97.9 (cover line is about 97.45). Soooo I'm freaking out (and obviously over analyzing everything).
But today I've been super nauseous all day - the most I have been all pregnancy, and my nips are still pretty sore. So that's good I hope... Anyway, went for another beta draw today so Monday I'll get those results (I hate hate hate Friday draws! Too much waiting!).
Thanks for checking in I'm trying not to be to AWish about it lol
I really don't think it is AWish. I'd be freaking out too, and who else to you have to freak out to? Ugh. So, so stressful. I have my fingers crossed so tight that the spotting will stop and your draws will come back good on Monday. Hopefully they'll call you first thing. Your symptoms sound great, so that's a good sign. I'll be watching for an update on Monday!!

Well they say every baby and pregnancy is different. So it's a great sign that your levels doubled. Sending good vibes your way. Hoping and praying from a healthy baby
I'm so sorry you have to go through all this worry and waiting! I like that you keep updating. I really want everything to turn out great for you! Don't let the temps get in your head. They can go crazy when you are pregnant even when everything is perfect.

FX for you. That is probably a terrible sight to see. I hope everything will work out. I know I've said this in previous replies but my SIL woke up to bright red blood on her bed in the first trimester and just had a baby a few days ago. So you never know what it could be
I am so sorry you're going through all of this. I'm still sending tons of positive thoughts your way - hoping there is an explanation that lets you stay around here for a good long while.
