So it's not no, but it's not yes. I guess it's yes on the way to no. In other words: Goddammit.

So on Friday I went in for blood work and then got a call and the first thing she said was, "Congratulations!"

Yippee! Everything looked good!

And then this morning I went in for more blood work - just to make sure things are progressing fine - and then waited and waited for a call with results. The results I know nobody wants to give and nobody wants to hear.

My numbers aren't doubling as they should. I need to come in on Wednesday for more blood. If it's not a viable pregnancy, they want my numbers to start going down.

Because if they don't, it could mean an ectopic pregnancy.

I asked her if the expectation is that it's not a viable pregnancy.

And she said yes.

    That's terrible news to hear, Lisa. I hope it's not what you fear, though.

    Damn it. I'm so sorry. I'll keep thinking positive thoughts until you get a definitive answer though. If things are as your doctor suspects, does this mean you are a good candidate for the clomid moving forward?

    I'm really sorry. One of my close local friends is also going through this - about 2 weeks ahead of your schedule. It is so hard not to get expectations up - and doubly hard when the initial results are positive. I'm thinking anti-ectopic thoughts for you and blessings for the next go.

    Damn it! I spent the last 9 days on vacation, and when I got home last night the very first thing I did (no kidding) was open up my laptop to check your blog. I had been thinking about you all week and I was so hopeful for you.

    I hope you get better news today Lisa. I've been there too and it sucks big time. But it doesn't mean all hope is lost. Erin came after seven miscarriages....
