I just wanted to come in and let you all know how much I appreciated your prayers and your concerns for me through this. I am getting better as the days go by, however I still have my moments, DH and I discussed IVF and it's not an option for us. So, my journey ends here. Thank you Dr Berger and staff for EVERYTHING you've done for me in the past 2 years! Such a long journey it has been. I must say, it sure was fun trying! LOL! Now I can focus more on getting myself back into shape so I can better enjoy the children I've already been blessed with.

Kris, I'm so sorry that this has happened. Please take care of yourself. This part of the journey is so hard. I hope that you are able to persue IVF in the future. I ended my ttc journey this dec after my second ectopic within a 6month period. I just couldn't take it anymore emotionally or physically. I hope that things get back to normal for you quickly. Please take care. Lots of Love Staci TR3-7-06

Dr. Berger~ I just wanted to update you on what happened, I did in fact have an ectopic. There was a 4.7 CM buldge in my tube, the Dr told me that she would do everything possible to save my tube, but after surgery she told me that there was no way to save it even though it wasn't ruptured, she felt that the tube itself was too "stretched out" she said it looked unhealthy. So, that ends my journey in TTC for now, hopefully we'll find a way to do IVF sometime in the future. Heck, I'm not getting any younger! LOL! Thanks for all of the advice and thanks for everything!

Kristy - I agree that based on today's result your HCG rise is no longer rising normally. When HCG ceases to double within 3 days on more than one occasion, I recommend ending the pregnancy with Methotrexate and continuing to follow the serum HCG until it is back to non-pregnant levels (less than 10). At your current HCG level, it is still too early for an ultrasound examination to be diagnostic about whether it is in the uterus or outside of the uterus. But when a pregnancy is no longer progressing normally, it should not be continued.

Krys, Please go to the ER. You're right that those numbers aren't doubling right and it may be just a slow starter or possibly an ectopic. It's better to be safe than to lose your only tube. I went through two ectopics last year, and with the second my numbers were right around doubling for the first couple draws then they started slowing down like yours are doing. With that pregnancy the baby ended up implanted near my bladder and if I hadn't had early monitoring it would definitely have been life threatening. Please take care, and I'll be saying prayers for you and your little bean.
