I have been trying for about 3 years and had IVF. I had my transfer on 9/10/2007 and my first test was on 9/19/2007 my results were positive but my HCG was 42, on my 2nd test my level went up to 92 and my progestrone was 22.5, the Doctor then increased my progrestrone injections and then my HCG went up to 183 and the progestrone level was normal, the Dr. is very optimistic about my HCG levels because he says that it is not rising as it should, however when I go on-line it appears as though my levels are within it's range.
I am confused!!!! I will keep my fingers crossed for you and myself.
