So this has def been the week from you know where!!

I got my second beta drawing yesterday....9300 (5500 on Monday) but I didn't wait the full 48 so they still think it's okay. I'm getting a third one done tomorrow. When I talked to the nurse yesterday I told her that I"m scared of it being ectopic since I have pretty consistant cramps just on the left side. The doctor wasn't in so she talked to the MA who was there during my ultrasound and she said they def saw "something" on the ultrasound, it was just too early to really tell anything. I'm not really sure what to make of that...especially since my doctor told me that with what he saw on the ultrasound he would expect my levels to be around 1000...instead they were 5000. So I'm not sure what to do, I tried to be sneaky and just schedule myself a follow up, but he's totally booked and they transferred me back to the nurse (she must be so sick of me by now...haha) and she again assured me that the doctor had looked over my numbers and said everything looked promising.

I'm still spotting too though, mostly brown although yesterday it was bright red for a little bit. I dont know what to do...I"m really hoping I'm just being extremely super paranoid...but I just don't feel "right". I have that cramp on my left side and my back hurts and I dont know...it just feels so much different from my last pregnancy. So I guess I'll wait until she calls me tomorrow with the last betas and see what she says. I'm hoping the doctor will want me back next week for another ultrasound, but he's not in tomorrow so I dont know. I think if I don't feel any better by the weekend I might just go into the ER and see what they say. The nurse kept telling me if I wasn't doubled over in pain I should be okay and that cramping and stuff is normal...but I"m thinking if you are doubled over in pain isn't it pretty late?? I would want to catch it before it got to that stage. I know your probably all thinking that I"m crazy...I keep telling myself that too! ugh!! The good news is DH gets back tomorrow...so maybe he'll be able to calm me down...alright, I was just ranting...thanks girls!

I don't see anything wrong with going to the ER... explain what's been going on and that the nurse at your docs office blew you off, that your doctor is booked and you're scared.

I don't see anything wrong with getting it checked out... at least get some reassurence and not have to wait it out all weekend. The stress isn't good for you honey. If it gives you a peace of mind, then DO IT! Take care of you okay?

OH Hun, I hope you get some answers soon. I would wait to hear from the doctor, as long as your cramping stays same, if the cramping turns into pain, than I would go to the ER. Or if you really start to bleed. If it stays brownish... I wouldn'y worry to much. I know, I know... easier said than done. I had bright red bleeding early on in my pregnancy (not the reason I m/c) It is "normal". I never like to say any bleeding is normal.. but it happens offten. KUP when you hear something.. HUGS

I would think your numbers increasing is a good sign. Please go to the ER if you are concerned, try not to stress (easier said than done I know). Good luck and sticky dust.

Just wanted to let you know that with each of my pregnancy I've had pain on one side of my ovary around 5-6 weeks. Of course I'd freak out and go to the doc, who would do an u/s. turns out that it was just a cyst. So maybe that is what you are going through. the numbers look greta. Did the thought cross your mind that it could be more than one and that's why the numbers are so high??

I hope things are going well for you and your numbers are continuing to climb. Lots of hugs.
