Oh my gosh I have goosebumps & tears welling up in my eyes for you!! This is looking so good--I know, you'll need to keep getting good news to feel better, but this HAS to be your take home baby.

@jaguar: Aaaah! I'm so happy for you! I thought you were waiting until Monday to go? I'm so glad you got in and got results (great ones) so quickly. Yay!

@pregnantbee: If I went Friday, I could get same day results. So took a big breath and went early!

@pregnantbee: I was on Cloud 9, until a specialist I met with yesterday (for IVF second opinion, not OB or anything) said he'd only give this pregnancy a 50/50 shot at viability. So... great! *sigh*

@knittylady: Right? This bigwig IVF doctor said I should basically prepare to lose this one too, because my progesterone was under 40.
(15 at first beta, 30 at second, 38 at third)
Just something else to stress me out!!

@jaguar: I stalk the IVF threads (hope that's not weird?) and saw your post there. I'm so sorry they treated you so awful! Between them and stilettomom I'm super ragey at how these supposed professionals think it's okay to treat people! I hope you're able to stay calm. You have a sweet baby nestled in there growing strong!

@jaguar: SO, @Torchwood: 's comment above made me pop over and look at your post on the IVF thread. Holy crap. What jerks. I'm so sorry you had to deal with that. Your current clinic doesn't seem concerned, and your numbers look great. Today you are pregnant. Hugs.

Yeah, it was the LAST thing I wanted to hear. I really hope this little snowbaby is in the good 50% this time.

@jaguar: I'm sorry about that doc - that seems ridiculous! My progesterone started out at 14 at 4-5 weeks. I was put on supplements and within a week it doubled to 28 which my dr was more than pleased with. Hoping all good news for your from here!

@jaguar: I did the same thing as @pregnantbee: and @Torchwood: and popped over to the IVF thread. WTF?!?! People are so freakin ignorant. We're all pulling for you and thinking super sticky thoughts for you. I'm glad you won't need that other clinic, because they're a bunch of asshats.
@Torchwood: seriously. What is WRONG with people???

@fancyfunction: Thing is, I'm already on supps & there's no real additions I can make, since I'm on a hefty dose. So giving me grief about that now (on a fully artificial HRT cycle) is sort of pointless. I'm going to stick with my clinic, who says not to worry.
@LovelyPlum: Gosh, I HOPE I won't need them! If we do, I won't be going there. I'll start hunting again!

@jaguar: For what it's worth, I think progesterone is one of the things doctors have differing opinions about. When I was pregnant one of the times I was told my level was good by one doc and low by another. And of course the interweb was varied. I can't even remember the number it was at, but I remember being confused. I wouldn't put too much weight in what the new doc said, though I know it's HARD not to!

@jaguar: Ohh please dont listen to him! Those numbers are great!
Mine was 13.8 my 1st beta this time
And 17 with DD( on Crinone)

@SweetiePie: Yeah, it seems to differ greatly between doctors and clinics for sure. Just really wish he'd actually just said nothing, you know?
@FaithFertility: I'm focusing on the fact that the beta rose, which is something my last few miscarriages didn't do. One day at a time.
I feel like this could end at any second, so I'm too scared to join any groups or anything... just floating in limbo!

@jaguar: oh totally, he's not your doctor so he shouldn't have commented on your existing pregnancy. And especially not a negative comment that is purely opinion based.

@jaguar: what a jerk!!! Im so sorry. We're all still
Rooting for you!

@jaguar: like your clinic, my doctor says anything 30 & above for progesterone is great... he normally doesn't even test P especially if you're on supplements. Betas are much more important. How far along will you be at your scan??
pomegranate / 3764 posts
@DesertDreams88: 7+1 at scan with obstetrician, and my clinic does a scan the following week. Eeep. I hope there's something to see then.
Just clicked over to 3+ weeks today (at 5+1 weeks) so I'm hoping this little snowman keeps sticking!

@jaguar: yay!!!! I totally hear you on the fear. I don't know if this would help, but when I was pregnant with LO after 2 losses, it helped me to think of her as a mustard seed. In the parable of the mustard seed, it's the smallest seed and grows into the biggest tree.
Come on, Olaf, grow, grow, grow!!!

@jaguar: great update. I remember getting the 3+, such a good feeling.
pomegranate / 3764 posts
@LovelyPlum: I love this, and I will do my best to visualise it! xx
@youboots: I can't remember what the 3+ means, but I am hoping it means a nice double from Friday's 1092 hcg!
honeydew / 7622 posts
@jaguar: it means that you are 3+ weeks past implantation if I remember correctly.
