    Thanks Bugsmum. No, I have to wait it out until my US followed by OB appointment, both on Fri morning. But I have found out progesterone levels can be affected by stress (and I have had some un-pregnancy related stress of late). So now I am feeling even more guilty.

    The clinic told me it is not so much the level, and that it can fluctuate, but that there have been some significant drops. They got in touch with my Ob (I have not seen him yet) and he does not want me to increase my pessaries.

    Hold on bubba...

    Oh how stressful for you. It must feel very unsettling to still be without a definitive answer. It sounds like you have enough stress in your life already. What do you have planned for the week? Will you be able to rest or relax a little between now and Friday? All the best hun.
    Hold on precious bub.

    To those that might have been following this story: an update...

    I followed Tashybabe's excellent advice. Tash - thank you!!! I really was over-obsessing and driving myself crazy. So I went MIA from BB and have been keeping myself very busy.

    It actually turns out that when we went to our scan a week back we found the measurements were 6 weeks (should have been 7-and-a-half). We knew there were a few days leeway there due to suspected late implantation. But the sack was completely empty. No fetal pole or yolk (I think in the past this would have been referred to as a blighted ovum). I had an appointment with my Ob straight after the scan and he said there was no hope, that I would MC.

    I have chosen to MC naturally. If nothing happens in the next few weeks I will go in for a D&C (my fourth). I am doing OK. DH and I have so much to be grateful for with our two beautiful children who are the light of our lives. I will not be doing any more cycles - my two recent FET's were remaining from our successful cycle with DS. I just couldn't leave those embies sitting there and not give them a chance. At least I tried...

    Thanks to everyone for their kind support on this thread. It really helped me through a difficult time.
