well the dr's appt was pretty much a waste of time.

They did the beta count but of course, the lab didn't finish it by our appt so I have no idea what it will be. The dr said (and duh, I know that!) of course the symptoms will stay until the hormones drop and at this point we still might see a "slight" increase in the HCG's as the placental tissue grows until my body "figures it out". She still has no hope for the baby but did not do an u/s today so we still do not have THE answer.

She did not, however, have an answer as to why my belly seems to be expanding. I told her I lost weight but my belly was much bigger compared to what it should be for this weight.

we did find out that last week's betas were 13,000 so at least now we can track the betas. But I don't expect them to call me and tell me today's results. last week we asked for them and they never got back to us.

She said to call her as soon as i start bleeding, and if she doesn't hear from me she will call me in 2 weeks. I told her with the last pg I thought I had miscarried (cramping, bleeding, passed something) and then the HCG's had gone up and it turned out to be ectopic, and it took 6 weeks after the tube removal to get any bleeding, and she said, so you know you might have a long wait.
story of my life, wait, wait, wait, and then wait some more . . .

you're right, Bobbie, I am going to enjoy every bit of being pg as long as I can!

don't feel bad, right now my sister is emailing back an forth saying the same thing

I'm kind of torn. I think I'll email the coordinator who was taking care of me for IVF and have her ask my OB to see if he thinks I need one.

I did email, now waiting for a response. Really, emailing seems to be quicker than calling them!

I'll post as soon as I hear back.

I emailed Cheri too, I've been keeping in touch with her thru all this. she said July still figures into things for me.

Oh Anne, I'm so sorry you're still dealing with the waiting!!!! That really sucks!!!!

I hope you get some answers soon, about everything that is going on! I can't believe she wouldn't even answer your questions!!!

to you!!! You're such a strong woman to deal with this!!!!

just heard back. today's lab hcg count is 17,113 - not even close to doubling for 8 days later. it would certainly explain the pg symptoms getting more pronounced though, but I don't think it explains my belly.

my OB wants this lab repeated Thursday and then he wants to do an u/s afterward. So hopefully we'll get some answers then.

Hopefully you'll get some answers real soon! Good luck at the sono on Thursday!

Wow... what a day you have had.

I am sorry the numbers weren't where they were supposed to be. I sooo want this to turn out great. Time will tell. I will keep praying for that bean of yours. And I hope you get more answers soon.

Lots of
