[quote=Anonymous]My nurse (beyotch) was pushing me to end the pregnancy around 6 weeks, along with the doctor on call, when the doctor came back, thank God, he told me to go to my OB, that he thought that we'd within a week find the pregnancy on ultrasound, even if it wasn't viable.

We did, in the tube--but the difference between KNOWING it was ectopic and terminating my pregnancy based on an insensitive nurse's assertion that it was ectopic, is huge.  My numbers could just as easily have indicated a non-viable uterine pregnancy.  I am SO glad I waited for confirmation, and my OB assured me that with such low betas, and up to 7 weeks, even a little beyond, the danger of rupture was low.

I had probably 4-5 ultrasounds, one high-resolution until they found it.

I would keep fighting till they see it.  Once your beta is 2000 or so, they should be able to see it.  If it doesn't reach 2000, then it is probably not viable--but remember that the meth shot means you are "on the bench" for much longer than a D&C/surgery for ectopic, as it takes time for the HCG to come down and your system to reset.  It set me back 2 1/2 months and I'm AMA.

I am so sorry for what you are going through.  I hope your HCG numbers jump and I am reading happy news here soon.[/quote]
