Forever in Limbo in Inside My Head

Still no answers except that ectopic is pretty much ruled out. My beta hcg went up to 1732 from 1235. Still low side of normal bordering abnormal. The doctor saw a yolk sac on ultrasound. Next appointment is in one week. We should be able to see a heartbeat next week if this is a viable pregnancy. He is 'cautiously optimistic.' He went from 'probable ectopic' to 'likely abnormal intrauterine pregnancy' to 'cautiously optimistic.' I can't deal with the unknown. I was preparing for him to say 'This is absolutely abnormal we are scheduling you for a D+C on Friday.'

While I'm glad I still have some shot at this working out, not being able to have a more concrete answer is literally driving me insane. At work I've been reading about IVF after micarriage, blighted ovums, missed miscarriages, beta hcg trends. Keep in mind I work in an ICU...sooooo....that's probably not too smart of me. I'm just looking for some prior instance like mine, but there doesn't seem to be one. At least not that I can find on Google.

Michael and I are going to Atlantic City for a few days to relax and sleep, something neither of us has been doing in weeks.
