Take Four - Beta #2

The results just came in from my bloodwork this morning.  HCG = 175.  According to betabase, my levels have doubled in about 27 hours.  My progesterone was 19.3.  I honestly don't know if that is good or not, but the nurse told me that the RE would like me to start using progesterone suppositories for now and come in again on Wednesday for repeat bloodwork.  Good thing I still have some Endo.metrin left over from last time that will cover me for at least a few days.  The nurse said that they would wait for Wednesday's results before deciding whether to add Lovenox or Heparin injections this time.  I did a little reading up on the difference between the two and honestly think I would be comfortable with Heparin over Lovenox, but I guess that it something I can wait to discuss with my RE on Wednesday.  In the meantime, I am continuing to take my prescription strength folic acid and am going to add baby aspirin to the mix.  I'm still spotting a little, but it has slowed down to almost nothing at this point.  Today, things look good I suppose.  I hope this one sticks around for the long haul.
