So I finally talked to the Dr's office yesterday about my followup bloodtest levels.. They weren't so great. My first level was actually 3518 on 2/27 and on 2/29 (46 hours later) - it was 4691 .. I did the calculation and thats a doubling time of about 110 hours.. (it should be 48-72 hours with the highest normal at this point being 96 hours) .. So that wasn't good.. but I still had a shred of hope.. I read that 15% of normal pregnancies the levels don't always double.. and maybe my first ultrasound was just too early to see anything..
So I had my 2nd ultrasound today at 6weeks 3days.. Basically my ultrasound is still showing a completely empty sac.. Since my Dr never told me the measurement of it last time (i honestly don't know that she measured it).. i don't know if it grew or not..it measured 5weeks and 5days today.. The ultrasound lady couldn't tell me much.. she said if she just saw this ultrasound it wouldn't be bad news, because based on the measurement of the sac its not crazy to not see anything..
HOWEVER.. the combination of the fact that I had an ultrasound a week and a day ago showing the exact same empty sac and the levels not rising adequately and the fact that I got the positive test THREE weeks ago.. so really I have to be at LEAST 6 weeks (I know my ovulation date, and based on that I am 6 weeks 3 days.. but for some reason Dr's never really want to hear that.. ).. Its just not looking like good news..
I'm still waiting on the official word from my dr. The ultrasound lady said most likely the dr would make me go back for one more followup ultrasound before they "do anything".. I really just want to know.. and honestly.. I could REALLY use a drink after these past couple weeks.
I really just hope they call soon. I don't know if I have the strength to call and ask about it.
