Well, answers are still forthcoming.
My HCG is 2354. ETA: This seems low according to results when Googling levels at this point in pregnancy...
My progesterone is only 1.7.
They're calling in a Rx for progesterone for me to take, since low progesterone might be what's causing my bleeding. I still feel like it's a miscarriage though. The one and only symptom I've had for this pregnancy has been sore boobs, and they haven't been at all sore the last 3 days.
I'm supposed to take the progesterone twice a day and go back Monday to get my HCG and progesterone checked again. I won't have any answers until I get those numbers back and see if the HCG went up or down.
How the hell am I supposed to go to Thanksgiving with DH's family tomorrow and act like everything's fine?? This not knowing anything for certain SHIT is killing me right now!!

If I didn't have a $100 ER copay, I might actually do this. But we were already at the ER for DH over the summer, and I can't stomach another ER copay, especially with the holidays and needing to buy everyone Christmas gifts.

I'm so sorry you're goin through this crazy limbo right now. Ill continue to send T&Ps for you, your H and baby. Big hugs!!

your HCG number is still pretty high and although your progesterone numbers are low hopefully the supplements help and thats the reasoning for the bleeding. I'm still keeping everything crossed for you!
also its the progesterone that makes your boobs hurt, so it makes sense that if your progesterone levels are low that your boobs wouldn't hurt.

...hello out there!
dx with anovulatory PCOS 2005
off bcp 11/11
a few rounds of clomid and femara... no response.
injectables/IUI 12/12... BFN
Feb 13 IVF cycle converted down to IUI due to low follicle response... BFFN
one last IVF attempt April/May 2013: 19 retrieved. 10 fertilized. 2 transferred in a 3dt. 4 frosties... BFP!!
EDD: 1/21/14... Induced early at 36+6. Our LO was born 12/30/13
I also agree with what @amccul20 said. Your HCG number is good and progesterone being low would affect symptoms. I really hope the progesterone helps!

I'm pretty sure the only real urgent care type of place around here doesn't have any imaging equipment. We went there over the summer when DH was sick, and because they were afraid he had pneumonia, they just shuffled us over to the ER anyway so they could do a chest x-ray. We ended up paying both the urgent care fee AND the ER copay. I was pissed. Needless to say, I'm less than inclined to go back there.

I'm so sorry. You can't push for an ultrasound? I have to be very direct with my doctor "I want to come in for an US today, when can I get fitted in?" I know I was high risk, but it always worked.
An old gp'r (C....) had the same thing happen to her, she was bleeding and thought it was over, she had a beautiful healthy baby. I don't want to fill you with false hope, but we have seen it.
Again, I'm so sorry you're going through this.
All of this.

Sorry to hear that you don't have any direct answers, but hopefully the Progesterone helps things and keeps the bleeding away.
You said your first u/s is next week, right?

No. It's 2 weeks from yesterday. My original intake appt was supposed to be next week, but we basically did that on Monday when I went in.
B/w 1/8: betas 17,345, progesterone 25.6
Anyway, I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this, Lucky
Yeah, but they drew blood Monday afternoon, less than 24 hours after I'd started bleeding. I wouldn't expect the numbers to have dropped all that much then.

Okay, you are free to call me crazy.
But in the meantime you could take pregnancy tests until you get confirmation. I would take them a couple of days after I thought I had passed it. Just to see if I would still get a positive. Then when I actually did pass it and knew it, I took a test 2 days later just to see and it was negative.
This is also because I had a lot of cheapies and like peeing on things. But if it gives you peace of mind to do so, then I see no problem in doing it.
