I went in for a blood draw at 45.5 hours exactly.
Progesterone = 23.4 (fallen just a little from the last time)
Beta = 137
Last time was 71, so its almost doubled ( I plugged it into beta base, it gives a doubling time of 48.51). The median doubling time for this range on the betabase is 37.28 hours, so I'm below average here.
In other words, I'm not reassured, the only thing keeping me off the metaphorical ledge is the study I found. But it scares the crap out of me that the progesterone is falling, not rising.
This is what I'm going to do- I'll ask for supplemental progesterone (Suppositories, not PIO). Then, I'm stopping all blood tests till next Tuesday, which will be 21 DPO. I want to have a normal few days and I wont be able to if I'm constantly obsessing and worrying myself sick about this.
This can play out three ways (two of which are very bad indeed) and the 3rd is a happy outcome.
I pray its door # 3, but my plan is not to obsess and nitpick (wish me luck with that!). I'll know when I know.
