Linaa, I remember you! I lost my twins last July to PTL and I used to go to Jeff but had problems there and actually went to MLF because of recommendations here. Anyway, I was seeing Dr. G but he was on vacation a few days after my IVF transfer until today so had to see Dr. P. Dr. P has been pressuring me since last week to terminate my pregnancy but with all the mix-ups with my records and the nurses never calling me back with my results even if Dr. O once gave instructions on increasing my PIO dosage, I don't trust their numbers. Supposedly, my betas went down last Monday to 77 but has been going back up again and my last beta was 641 last Sunday and they haven't found a sac yet (5w5d) but Dr. P did a pelvic exam and they had me on ultrasound for 30 minutes and they couldn't see any ectopic. Dr. O was really nice, he did my transfer and when my DH called him (he was the one on call) after Dr. P called me Monday night about stopping my meds, he told us to continue our meds and just go back for more bloodwork Friday. Dr. O also told us that it is too early to see anything with an u/s but Dr. P has me go through 3 u/s already and using the fact that they don't see any sac as basis for terminating my pregnancy. I will have to wait what Dr. G would recommend, but if he's like Dr. P I would definitely go for a second opinion.

Dr. G called me a few minutes ago and he wants to see me this Wednesday at Paoli. I will talk to him first but I will probably schedule something with HUP if possible although I might just wait for next week when the Abington doctors are back.

And Sandv, thanks for doing the research! I really appreciate it.
