And so the roller coaster continues. No bleed yet, and after my levels dropping they've now risen again... Here's my levels:

Nov 9 - HCG 21, Progesterone 41
Nov 11- HCG 48, Progesterone 40
Nov 13 - HCG 30, Progesterone 16
Nov 16 - HCG 177, Progesterone 53

Part of the reason we got the blood test so early was because this was our first month seeing a FS, who had been tracking me to see if I was ovulating, otherwise we'd probably not be watching so closely & so soon.

The crazy thing is, if I'd gone for my first blood test today, 2 weeks after my missed period, we'd probably think everything was fine & wouldn't have known about the dip!

So I will have to go in for a scan first thing Monday to see if it looks like ectopic or if by some small miracle there is sign of an embryo in the uterus (& then I'll be kicking myself for having a medium rare burger today..)

At this stage, as I'm sure you can all tell, I had assumed it was all over and we were starting to accept what had happened, but now this lingering.. Gosh what a test of patience, & sanity!

I have found a couple of other stories in forums of levels going up & down and not ending well, but isn't it amazing what one little tiny little glimmer of hope can do.
