[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sue -- I don't think you should be all that concerned yet for two reasons.

1) You obviously had slightly late implantation based on your first HPTs being negative and then later positive, right? Where are you today in terms of days past ovulation?

2) I think most REs remain reserved until there is a heartbeat and they are ready to turn you over to an OB. For my first pregnancy, my first scan (somewhere between 5-6 weeks) showed just a sack and my doctor (Sacks at CFA) said "okay but we won't be out of the woods until your next scan where we should see a heartbeat". So, he wasn't excited but not because he thought we should see a heartbeat but just because it was too early to get excited. If that makes sense.[/quote]

Thanks, that is reassuring, and I appreciate it. But we didn't even get a "we won't be out of the woods" sort of comment. It was "let's see on Monday if the embryo grows a millimeter a day." He did not seem too concerned about the lack of heartbeat so fat.

And yes, I definitely think I had a late implantation -- my husband said the same thing. I'm 28 days past ovulation. Technically, the pregnancy is six weeks exactly. The third beta was 379, and while it was definitely doubling, it was never high.

I think we were looking for something a little more definitive, in part because we feel like we've been holding our breath since our beta. Our first test was so wonky (the miscalibrated machine, me testing too early, etc) that everything has felt slightly off since then. I interpreted the doctor's cautiousness as being without any optimism. I understand they don't want to get your hopes up, but I was left with the distinct impression that things didn't look good.

So, you know, more waiting! I work all weekend, so here's hoping it'll be enough to distract me. [/quote]
