"60% chance of ectopic"

That is what my RE just told me.

I got the call with Beta #3 which was 213. It doubled beautifully, even 33 more than I "needed". But RE wasn't happy. Apparently, there is some chart that you plug in numbers and dates and whatnot and I'm now off the charts. Nurse told me due to this, I have a "very likely" chance it was ectopic.

Not so, says my RE, as he only has me a 60% chance at ectopic.

I guess that since we are dealing with known embryos and whatnot, implantation times are more of a known, so a simple "late implantation" isn't quite what they can accept. Embryos won't just float around for an extra 3 days. But anything can happen, hence my 40% chance of a normal pregnancy.

Back to the appointment.

He gave me an u/s and said it was too early to see a sac, since my beta was only 213 (has to be over 1,000) but he wanted to look for other signs.

1) Lining is thickened to over 10mm. He said this is a good sign, since it points to implantation, but the lining can thicken even if the embryo implanted in the tubes.

2) No free fluid in the tubes (no bleeding).

3) Ovaries are also quiet.

4) No abnormalities in the uterus.

5) No ~pain~ when he poked ovaries/tubes nor when he moved my uterus back and forth. He said this was a very good sign. But then again, could just be too early.

So. Nothing is known. He did say if he was positive of ectopic, he'd be giving me the shot today, but he's obviously not doing that. So at least it's not all over now. But it could be next week. If my hcg levels plateau and don't get to 800+ by tuesday, it'll be a bad sign. If it is 800+, then we continue to hope for another few days to see the sac. All will be decided next week.
