Jimagination - as long as your progestrone stays above 10 there's still a chance, but HCG needs to keep doubling every day. Spotting isn't out of the norm either, as long as it's not heavy.
We went through the same emotions and experiences when we tried fertitlity. Going through egg retrievals, fertilizations, waiting only to find out 80% of the eggs that fertilized died. Then having the remaining eggs implanted, only to have them not implant. All that pain and anguish for nothing. Getting all excited at the first postive pregnancy (HCG) test only to go in 2 days later for another HCG and Progesterone tests to come back with bad results. This happend to us 3 times. The third time the pregnancy went on for 3 weeks, then the numbers went the wrong direction in a big way. It was over. The 4th time the tests came back positive, HCG and Progesterone were going in the right direction.. Then the progesterone started dropping. The doctor perscribed Progesterone medication and that stabilized the progesterone long enough for the mrs body to kick in and start producing its on progesterone. Then the day before our last ultra sound with the fertility doctor I wake up to the sound of the mrs sobbing. So instantly I'm freaked out and ask her whats going on and she shows me blood. So of course I go loopy then we grab the phone and call the mrs' fertility nurse. After a brief conversation we go racing down to the office for some tests. The tests come back that everything is ok. But we're still scared stiff. Rember this is try #4 with the 3 prior positive then lost babies. The spotting stops, the HCG and Progesterone levels are ok, and baby is still where it belongs. (thank God) That was back in February. Baby is groing fine and all is well today.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, you have to let go and realize that you control nothing. That it is what it is, and it's gonna be what it's gonna be. It's going to be hard no matter what happens, and I totally understand how you feel.
Hang in there kiddo.
