God Janeo that is a rollercoaster!! Having also been spooked with a possible ectopic, I did loads of research about various hormone levels and you know what - they spooked me even further! Our clinic is actually next door to the early pregnancy clinic and i found their diagnostic, which screamed ectopic to me.
But the BTs kept showing the hCG going up, and progesterone stable. We did a scan at 7wks and voila - all okay. You just need your scan to show you the sac is in the right place and the heart is beating. I am sure that's what's going to happen.
Take it real easy on yourself - no strenuous exercise, or lifting heavy stuff. My fingers and toes are crossed for you. But it's BFP season, so I'm feeling very positive for you!
Hey girls... No bubs .. I had a scan late this arvo with my Dr and there is nothing in my uterus should be able to see at least a sack as im 6 weeks today by my period... We are retesting my bloods tomorrow morning hoping they have dropped if they have gone up then im booked in for a LAP tomorrow night !!!!!
Im doing ok about it all pretty upset earlier but just keeping busy now.. Ill work tomorrow then head to Ballarat if the bloods show up high again... Thanks for all your support ill be back in here for the next round of IUI...
Shades, WOW!! What was your progesterone??? That's a super high hCG - maybe because there's more than one jelly bean growing?? The prog levels would tell you!
UPDATE: okay - did a quick spot of research - there's a lot of white noise out there these days from discussion forums as opposed to proper scientific facts. I sure wish I had a copy of the endocrine poster at SEALs in RHW, which lists the ranges for both hCG and progesterone throughout the various stages of pregnancy. HOWEVER, at 16dpo, hCG readings for twins can be much the same as singletons. Progesterone levels would indicate the number of follicles that released an egg (about 30 per each), however, again, this would be misleading with a BFP because at least one follicle has a luteus corpum on it producing all those lovely hormones.
SO!! Shades, we'll all just have to wait until your 7 week scan to see how many jelly beans you've got growing there. :-)
And that was your fourth IUI, right? See folks! 4-6 goes to give this process a fair chance.
Sue - Pregnyl takes 5-7 days to leave your system. On 5000 it commonly made my cycles 4-5 days longer. Hopefully on 1500 it will be a bit less for you. But it will mess with BT results, hence people's discussion round here of "chemical pregnancies".
Cheers,
OP.
