He will do one but says blood levels are more reliable until week 7.5-8. <br /><br />2) Your beta is good. Don't worry about low or high. <br /><br />This helped me: http://www.obfocus.com/calculators/betahCG.htm<br /><br />3) This too shall pass. This is out of your control and you are doing all that you can do. What will be will be. <br /><br />My thoughts are with you, Amy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19133339.post-44092739919752188002010-05-27T12:08:28.502-04:002010-05-27T12:08:28.502-04:00Yes, the often day days to double at this level. ...Yes, the often day days to double at this level. That is a good point. I'd definitely seek another opinion with the ultrasound. I had to run around the city where I live to get answers once and they were all different - one was healthy and the other was "no way". It depends on so many factors and sometimes you can have a bad ultrasound. Will you have another soon - the blood test might show it going up but the best predictor is seeing growth in the fetus. And if you can remember, get the progesterone checked. <br /><br />I've seen so many things that turned out fine and so many things that looked great, turn out not so fine. <br /><br />So you are again in limbo and I'm sorry. Getting an doppler from a hospital or other doctor might be a good idea. Just a stronger ultrasound - that helped me and the only thing it can do is put you out of the misery of limbo. For better or for worse. That is the worst place to be....<br /><br />XOSuzannenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19133339.post-24992274787832638642010-05-27T07:47:28.105-04:002010-05-27T07:47:28.105-04:00Thinking of you - hoping for good news.Thinking of you - hoping for good news.meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13391857826487843092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19133339.post-84201157028150532522010-05-27T03:44:31.196-04:002010-05-27T03:44:31.196-04:00I hate how long these couple of days always take.I hate how long these couple of days always take.Panamahathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10248512242594265755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19133339.post-38805941664661894902010-05-27T00:52:09.946-04:002010-05-27T00:52:09.946-04:00just a quick reminder that once your levels get th...just a quick reminder that once your levels get that high, they dont double up as fast. agian I know the limbo, and I know how it sucks.

You're in the range, which is good. It's very possible that it's too early to see a fetal pole and heartbeat. So nothing terrible has been said yet.<br /><br />We all see things through our own experiences. I once had a dreadful u/s technician very early in a pregnancy. She repeatedly said hmmmm, asked me to roll this way and that, asked me if I'd had any bleeding, and once actually left me lying there with the ultrasound wand ... ummm ... in place, while she found someone else to take a look. To make a long story short, my hopeless feelings turned into a successful pregnancy, and the result is a 7-year-old boy who is sleeping soundly in the next room.<br /><br />I hope your second blood test comes back with reassuring results. I know that it goes against our grain and our experiences to get our hopes up, but I'm hoping for you.Paulanoreply@blogger.com
