 funky betas.... any thoughts? (and some questions)
I may be premature in joining this group..... but it's looking likely.
In short: BFP last Monday, betas every 2 days since then. Numbers going up but not doubling, and not going up enough. Sequence: 118, 169, 318, 418 (each 48 hours apart). The middle pair "almost doubled" but the others (including the last) are more like 33%, which makes it 96 hour doubling time (way outside normal ranges).
I follow up with RE tomorrow, most likely for u/s. In the meantime I'm going crazy trying to find info. Some questions (perhaps naive, but I need to start somewhere).
1. What will they be looking for on u/s? What should they see? What might they see?
2. What questions should I be asking RE? What other tests should they be running? (They haven't done progesterone, which I've just been reading about. Is that more of an issue for PCOS? Any other tests I should ask for, with an eye towards future TTC?)
3. If this is likely going to m/c, any idea how long?
4. How will they tell the difference between m/c and ectopic pg?
5. Any chance I'm just a slow starter? (Not likley, but I have to ask.)
6. Anything else?
Words of comfort or wisdom appreciated. Pointers to other threads or web sites also welcome. I should have more info sometime tomorrow (but they could push me back to Tues?!), but the past week has been VERY long already, and the next 15 hours (before the office opens) will be very long too.
Thanks in advance,
