Shannon and Jozzy, thank you so very much. My number from this morning is 52. This is all very strange. I was ready to take the metho shot this afternoon and the doctor called and said he wanted to see how my numbers do on monday. (because they doubled since wednesday) My bleeding has stopped-now just spotting but I'm so confused as to what is going on. He said if my numbers stall out over the weekend that we would do the metho shot then. At this point I should be able to see a sac in the uterus, not have numbers this low. Oh well, I'm just so afraid it's in my only good tube. It's over for me if it is. IVF is not an option. I want this heavy hearted feeling to go away.
Shannon, it is possible that progesterone is a factor and they gave me a RX for Prometrium for the next time I get pregnant. They said not to take it for now with this pregnancy. I have to work all weekend, so I probably won't be on here but I will let you know how it goes on monday. Have a wonderful weekend. God bless ladies, Tommi

Ok ladies. My doctor called me himself this morning and said that HCG from yesterday is 27, so up from 20 on monday. He wants me to repeat HCG tomorrow at 8:15. They will run it stat and if it has gone up again, they want me to go to the hospital for the metho shot!!! I know it has gone up b/c my hpt this morning is much darker. Have I mentioned how much this stinks!! I asked him if there was anyway of knowing for sure whether it's in my tube or uterus and he said the only way was a D@C to check to see if there were embryonic cells present. He suggested that we not do a D@C because with any procedure like that there is a risk of scar tissue and he wants to go the least invasive route possible to protect my fertility.
I really don't know what to think. I'm not having any pain. He said even if it is ectopic we have a some time before it ruptures. He says that b/c my ultrasound on monday was normal. He also said there is a possibility that it is an abnormal uterine pregnancy. I just request anyone who wants to pray for me and my family to please do so.

Shannon, I know just what you mean. Sometimes I don't know what to think anymore either. It's been hard to be optimistic these past few days. My tubes are R-4.5 (inconclusive, partial filling with no obvious spill) and L-5 (wide open). I have no idea which side I "O"ed from this cycle. Seems like I felt O pain on both sides. I don't know my numbers yet, they didn't call. I suspect they will call in the am and have me come back on Friday to repeat HCG. I have to work this weekend. I will be taking a break this next cycle to "rest" emotionally and physically.
I hope the clomid works well. It seems like there are alot of ladies from our month pregnant with keepers. I pray we get our turn!!
Jozzy, keep us posted on your progress. You can start testing in about a week!! Yes, it does help a little to know that I can get pregnant but the loss is so great when you have a sliver of hope and then it's gone just like that. My sincere prayer is that none of you ladies will have to deal with that!
Sorry I'm such a downer....again. I do still have hope. I want a baby too badly not too. That desire is much stronger than my fears are..so far. Many hugs to you all. Tommi

I start clomid tomorrow. We are trying cd 3-7 this time same dosage. I hope it's not ectopic. How long are your tubes? Mine are right 4.5 and left 2.5. Sometimes I get afraid that it will never happen with this short of tubes. There is other web sites that say if your tubes are less than 5 that your chances of miscarriage and ectopic are greater. I don't know what to think anymore.

Shannon, my number from monday was 20. I had a blood draw this morning at 9:30 and I'm hoping to get it this afternoon, if not in the am. This whole pregnancy is really bizarre. I've never heard of starting what I thought was AF on time and normal (or heavier than normal flow) and then gotten a BFP. I wouldn't have tested if I had not "felt wierd". I would have suspected something by now though, b/c it's been 8 days and I'm still bleeding dark red and fairly heavy (sorry TMI). To complicate things I'm sick today. The UTI turned into a full fledged kidney infection. The hospital called this morning and said that my urine culture and sensitivity came back and I was on the wrong antibiotic and they called me in something different. The left side of my back had been killing me and I've had a mild fever since yesterday afternoon. NO WONDER!! Anyway, enough of my whining.
How are you? Are you starting the next round of clomid? Keep me posted on how that goes. What cycle day are you supposed to "O" with a medicated cycle? Well, have a great afternoon. I'm going to chill and wait on the doc's office to call. I'll post when I know my numbers. What do you think the chances are that this is an ectopic? My doc says it isn't, but I'm not convinced!!! Tommi

Hi Shannon and Jozzy. Your prayers are appreciated as always. I'm waiting on the doctor to call with yesterdays hcg numbers. I know I'm not down to zero b/c I just took a test and it was positive again. I'm just not sure what is going on. He said yesterday he didn't think it was ectopic and did an ultrasound but why am I not down to zero? The whole thing is frustrating. I can't help but hold on to a sliver of hope that it will be okay, but they pretty much said that it wouldn't work out.
Shannon, I wonder why the clomid didn't work? Did you get a positive OPK or temp spike? I took clomid in 2001 and I ovulated but had no cervical mucous. I think there is something now that they can give you for that... like estrogen around O time or something. I'm sure you know all about that though. All my fingers and toes are crossed for ya girl!! We want a STICKY bean for you!!!
Jozzy, hang in there. With those open tubes it's just a matter of time. Maybe they give give you something to make you O earlier? Best wishes to you for a speedy BFP!!
Carla, hope you are doing well!! And all the other ladies I didn't mention too!! Tommi
