Defeating the odds, but not always a happy thing!

Well defeating the odds again!!! Too bad it is either a miscarriage or ectopic again!!! I was thinking it was pre-menopause, because 3 years ago my FSH level was 10 and my RE thought maybe it was the beginning of things. I figured it answered a lot of questions about my cycle. Anyway, the nurse called with my levels today......I forgot some of the things she told me (like my estrogen level and something else), then she said my FSH was only 6.9....HURRAY no menopause!!!! I was soo stuck on that I wasn't listening very well, but I heard my progesterone level was less than 1.....for the length of my cycle that is a good number. Then she says, "but your beta is 32." "My what is what?" I couldn't believe I was hearing I had a beta number!! So as we know with progesterone being so low and pregnant is not a good thing. So I have another beta on Friday morning. I am hoping that it is something easy like I need to be taking progesterone to sustain a pregnancy. So please pray that it is resolving itself again and that it isn't ectopic!!! Things aren't too bad considering! I am happy that I have defeated when I was told, "Without IVF you will never be able to get pregnant again." Two pregnancies within a year is a pretty good start! Now I just have to figure out how to keep the pregnancies! I'm sure the Re will be able to help me with that!
