Alana - I think your beta is too high to be a chemical pregnancy. I'm not the expert here though. I'm not sure where the transition point is but I thought a chemical pregnancy was where your beta was very low meaning the pregnancy may have just barely implanted and then stopped dividing. I know how hard it must be right now. I know you don't want an u/s so as not to get attached but how about the doctors at least being able to make sure the embryo is in the right place? At least another beta this week to see the numbers increasing. Spotting early on is so common. Plus, do you remember how we all hit that 6 week mark and suddenly all of our symptoms were gone? Somehow once the pregnancy started to take all that bloating from the fertility drugs started to disappate. I think the progesterone would delay AF but not keep her at bay if it isn't viable. Try to think at least a few good thoughts in there and be sure to eat good and take care of yourself. Otherwise, you'll just worry the whole 2nd trimester about all those good things you didn't make yourself do at the beginning. Oh, and I never had m/s and didn't have sore bb's after the 6 wk marker. Just swollen bb's

Shawna - Great news about all of your test results. You sound so relieved.

Grits & Ronni - How's the stabbing coming along girls?

Jen - Any POAS temptation over there yet?

Susan - Is the rooster still visiting? Maybe a new parrot buddy?

I ran around a bunch yesterday so I'm trying to take it easy today. Just met a girlfriend for breakfast who is in town visiting for the long weekend. She has a two year old wild man son. He's been that way since day 1. I literally came home and lectured DH about disciplining our son at an early age

Hope everyone is having fun out there... We're headed to the family farm tomorrow for a cookout and am dragging Havanajims and her DH with. I'll take some more pics and post them for everyone to see our quickly expanding tummies!
