Hi all,

first, thanks for all your wishes of good luck.
The levels came back and at exactly 7 weeks my HCG is 150,000 and progesterone is 202. So to me that still sounds very pregnant, and I feel very pregnant, so it's a good outcome. The soonest I could get in for a scan is Wednesday afternoon so another couple of days until confirmation, but I feel pretty confident.

To those who inquired, it was an internal scan. I have a retroverted uterus as well but I've had a normal dating scan at 7 weeks before so I went in with full bladder. The doctor was running 50 mins late though so I had to let some out 3 times!!! Water goes staright through me. When he went to do the scan he said my bladder was so full it was blocking the uterus, so I emptied it. Then he couldn't see anything, so he tried internal. That's when he said he saw a heartbeat and pointed at it. Then according to my husband every screenshot after that one was blurry and he said he couldn't lock down a heartbeat and said at this stage it's usually very obvious. DH is not impressed over all, wants us to consider changing doctors.

So I suppose I play the waiting game again... from what I've read it does seem possible that hormones continue to be produced after the embryo has died but it's unlikely. So more waiting, as if the weekend wasn't bad enough!

hugs to Lan, packing away baby stuff is so final. It's like acceptig all your dreams for this baby will never become real. We did it together the day we got home after finding out, I didn't want reminders everywhere, even though it was always on my mind.
