This week I had my third Beta, it came back at 7383. That's the good news.
This morning I woke up bleeding, that's the bad news.
I called the clinic. They said it could be due to cervical irritation from the Progesterone or implantation bleeding. I would like to believe that, but the bleeding and the cramping are too much for me to hang my hopes on.
They said that many women experience this kind of bleeding at this stage of their pregnancy. Morbidly, I was thinking how many of them are beginning to miscarry?
The blood is red-ish, rust color.
I have read many bloggers with the same symptom who are fine, and ones who are not. There is nothing I can do but try not to go completely insane.
They would not oblige my fear with an ultrasound.
I am trying not to loose my mind, but I have never been good at that.
So I sit and hope and cringe.

Fingers crossed for you!
I bled from weeks 5-8 like a period. I bled again several times, once requiring a 4 am visit to L&D (I'm talking profusely here). I had placenta previa that resolved itself and all was fine.
Scary stuff!

hope all is well!!! I have no personal experience but my best friend bled for over a month... she stopped bleeding around the time she could hear a heartbeat on the ultrasound.
Hoping for the best for you!
I will be thinking of you and hoping this resolves very quickly and you don't have to be afraid any more. Try to stay off your feet as much as possible (don't know why I say that but doesn't seem unreasonable).
I hope that everything resolves quickly and things are OK. I don't know what cycle day you are on -- are your beta numbers high, as in multiples?
I know so many women who went through IVF or DE IVF and bled and bled- either with or without cramping. Apparently it is very frightening and very normal.
I'm hopeful that you are able to get an u/s soon - WTF that they won't let you have one???? Can you press for it? What are your next steps and when can you know?
Shame on them for not understanding that you need to be immediately reassured, and I'm praying that you will in fact be reassured that everything is ok. And soon.
I know it can be hard to believe that this will turn out ok. So, I'm just going to believe for you.
