Hi. Well, first of all, I don't really have any news. My RE put me on ectopic watch based on last Wednesday's numbers (i.e. go home, rest lots, drink plenty of fluids, take your baby aspirin just in case we get a miracle, and call me the very second you have any pain). We agreed not to do another beta till today cause at 4 weeks 2 days, 4 weeks 3 days, etc. it was only driving me nuts without really telling us anything. And basically, I didn't feel symptoms of much of anything at all, positive or negative, all weekend.
Soo... I just had another ultrasound and apparently my ovaries look normal, my uterus looks well vascularized and "very pregnant," and we have no visible sac or anything else in there. I won't have new (hopefully more informative beta results until late tonight). Basically, we don't know what the hell is going on and I am very glad I spent the weekend sleeping. Dr. Cookie Pie (see 4/2/05) actually told me this afternoon, "I want you to go home and chant, 'I am not having an ectopic. I am not having an ectopic.' Chant it over and over." So those are my new lyrics...Anyone suggest an appropriate tune?
Thank you so much for your comments. I've stayed off the net completely since my last posting, so I got to come and find all your comments at once this afternoon. If there is any silver lining whatsoever in all of this, it's having stumbled into this amazing community of women. I wish you all many fluffy pillows and long naps. In the meantime, having called in sick to work today, I'm off to take another one myself.

Hoping and praying that it's not an ectopic. Keep up that chanting and take good care of you.
I'm chanting right along with you. I'll even click my ruby-red slippers too.
Me too, I'm chanting "No ectopic... give the girl a break already!"
Sorry to hear things are still so unclear. Any chance they are just not seeing a perfectly nice intrauterine pregnancy? Maybe they need new glasses? Sorry, I'm not trying to sound flip, just really, really wishing the best for you. I'm glad you called out of work and are resting.
I'm chanting here too.
How 'bout to the tune of "Hakuna Matata" from the Lion King
Intrauterine!
What a wonderful phrase!
Intrauterine!
It's how babies are made!
It means gestation for some more sacred days!
It's a problem free, term pregnancy!
Intrauterine!
This is what you get for asking....
Seriously though... there's a bunch of total strangers out here pulling for you.
Hey we're all chanting, although I can't hold a candle to v's herbie's creativity! Hoping and hoping this has a good ending, Anne.
I can't quite think of the right one, but somehow a showtune seems like the best option.
Hoping for the best for you; I'm so sorry you're going through this.
Fabulous V's Herbie! Thank you all for your comments
