Well, there is something in there

A gestational sac was seen today in my 42-year old uterus (yesterday was my birthday).

While I would have loved to see a fetal pole and maybe a little cardiac flickering, since I am only at 5w4d and we all suspect a late implanter, my RE said things all look good.

They took blood too to check on HCG, estrogen and progesterone, but those aren't back until tomorrow.
UPDATE:  They are back.  Beta is 2664 at 22dp3dt.  E2 is now at 75 and progesterone is 22.
Doubling has slowed a bit to 49 hours, but I guess that is supposed to happen after HCG hits 1500 or so?

Either way, I'm clinically pregnant. Crazy. And exciting.

Now just 7 days until the next ultrasound.  Wow that is far away.

    Holy crap, I am anxious. I can't imagine how YOU must feel. Come ON little guy!!!

    And also Happy Birthday, although I imagine you can't really celebrate it under this kind of strain.

    That's great! And yes, beta stops doubling quite as fast once you get up to 1500-2000. Happy birthday!

    Just read the update - it sounds GOOD. And yes (as others have said), you're at the point where the doubling slows down a bit. Hurry up and get here, Thursday.
