New beta result

Just heard from the nurse. "Well, your beta didn't exactly double," she began, "but the doctor wants you to stay on the progesterone and come back on Wednesday."

I think she might have left it at that, but my mind was reeling. Didn't exactly double???? What does that mean??!!

"Can you tell me the number?"

So she did.

It's 13dp3dt and the number, deep sigh, is 36. Talk about not doubling. I'd call it dropping.

Not sure why I'm staying on the progesterone. I'd guess it's in case of a miracle.

I've been having a lot of pain in my lower left side. It has crossed my mind that this might be/have been an ectopic.

Don't know what to say. At the moment, I feel....nothing. Just a little dead inside.

    But not quite.
    Darn gods were NOT listening to me at all, were they? I am so so sorry. What the hell. Proving once again that this has nothing to do with fairness or what is right. Oh Mo, I am so sorry. I hate this more than I can say. Sending warm wishes to you, and, once again,wishing I were magical. If I were, things Would be different.
    Warmly, Kate

    Mo, WTF kind of thing is it to say "didn't exactly double"? Uggh! I'm so terribly sorry. My RE always had me stay on PIO too even when my beta dropped, but it always made me upset. Thinking of you and Will and sending strength!

    I'm so sorry Mo. Sometimes I wonder when things are going to easier. I mean, why does the universe let you feel excited about a bfp for just a little bit then pull the rug out from under you? I hate that you have to suffer this crap. Hugs and more hugs.

    Huge, huge hugs to you and Will, Mo. To say this sucks incredible amounts of a$$ is an understatement. Take care of each other.....

    Hang in there....wishing you both some peace.

    And I don't know why that just took me 5 tries to type "peace" instead of "pez". Well, I dunno. Pez may help more than some things...
