Okay ladies...
I have had some crazy betas going on...
Beta #1 at 8dp5dt (of 6 day embryos): 5
Beta #2 at 10dp5dt: Still 5
Beta #3 at 12dp5dt: 4
Beta #4 at 16dp5dt: 23
Beta #5 at 18dp5dt: 43
Beta #6 at 20dp5dt: 105
Beta #7 at 24dp5dt: 503
Beta #8 at 28dp5dt: 2254
US at 29dp5dt: Only shows a gestational sac that is about 6mm (I am 6 wks exactly)

Anyone have any success stories?
Thanks!
Angelica

Hi Angelica,
This is a bad story but I decided to share.
I was 6 wks and 3 days and my sonogram only showed gestational sac with no heart beat....which meant that I m/c...so I had a dnc scheduled to take it out next week.
I hope your heartbeat will show soon!

Looks like your beta is climbiing and that's a good sign.  Check out my sonogram pic that I have posted.  I was 6wks (4wks fetal age) at the time.  It was hard to see much of anything but the doctor said it was there and we even saw the heartbeat.  I read on line that around 5wks the sac is 6mm, maybe you were on the cusp of just starting week 6?  do you have another sonogram scheduled?  I think the sac is supposed to grow about 1mm a day until week 9.

I hope this helps!

I'm sorry I don't have any answers for you, but just wanted to say that I hope everything works out.  This should bump your post back to the top, so hopefully someone else can help.  Take care.
