So nervous about tomorrow (bfp mentioned)(Update)

I go back to the RE tomorrow for another follow-up to see if it looks better.  I'm preparing for the worse, because he didn't seem too optimistic last week. One week I'm pregnant, the next I'm preparing to lose it, then I find out I'm still in the game.....

I wouldn't wish this rollercoaster on anybody.

Update: Went in this morning expecting the worse and was greeted with a little heartbeat.  Definitely think I'm the RE's most "interesting patient". He came up with some reasons for my dropped beta, but wants to keep a close eye on me for a while. So I go back next week.

Thank you ladies for all the encouragement and prayers!!

There was a lady on here a couple of years back and this happened to her, turns out the low beta was a mistake I believe for her someone had put her progesterone instead of beta, anyway point of the story she has a beautiful little girl from that cycle.  I hope with all my heart you get good news tomorrow.
