Default Re: Will I Miscarry?

So the hcg only went to 263 today. Not good news. I've been told they need to double (or at a min go up 60%) in 48 hours in order for a pregnancy to be viable. Progesterone was still good, but down to 27. I am on suppositories so that may be part of it.

I am supposed to go into the doc again Wed (I have lost hope already) to do a triple check on the #'s. If they don't look good again, the doc wants to do methotrexate. I'm a little concerned about the drug...sounds very strong, I mean its a cancer drug. I am a little scared about ectopic tho too. I'd hate to not take the drug and then have to have surgery. Do you have any experience with that?

We're trying to decide what we'll do for our next try. If this was ectopic, I'd carry high risk for another one so I'd prefer IVF. But IUI is so much cheaper. I have to say that I'm getting pretty impatient tho and want to go for IVF. How did you decide what to do?

Also, I see you have been thru a miscarriage. I am struggling with my emotions right now. I def wasn't as far along, but am very sad. My hubby doesn't seem too bothered, although I know he cares. I have friends that don't have any fertility issues and I cry at the sight of anything baby. This is such a rollercoaster!

Looks like your preg again! Best of luck with this one! Sticky baby dust.
