It has been 2 weeks and 4 days since I stopped taking progesterone. By look and feel, both my breasts and my abdomen have returned to their normal states, sizes and colors (though I did gain about 4 pounds since the transfer). As for the breasts, I have no more visible veins and swollen nipples.
The ultrasound confirmed that the sac did grow approximately 10 mm since the scan at 6w3d. It looked sad and deflated, though, and measured around 7weeks.
My RE pointed out "membrane" breakdown within the sac and noted that there was not yet blood surrounding the sac, meaning that everything was still attached and that it could take a few more weeks for the miscarriage to begin. Once again I was given the choice between waiting, misoprostol, or a d&c. Due to the small size and type of miscarriage (missed), he said there would be no harm or risk in waiting. It does not appear that the sac will continue to grow. They did not do a beta, but I suspect that the levels would be lower than Thursday's.
If my body can do at least one thing naturally...
So I will wait. At least I don't feel pregnant anymore. Nothing more to be confused about. Though the past few days I have had ever so slight waves of nausea. I usually just end up with the burps. So far nothing today.
I won't have another Beta hcg until after the miscarriage, when they will track the levels down to zero, but I do have instructions to check in again in two weeks with an update. Hopefully I will have something to report by then.

I'm sorry to hear that nothing has started moving. Nobody wants to miscarry, but I think waiting to miscarry can be worse than the miscarrying. The week between when I started spotting and when I passed the embryo were hell, so I can only imagine how you're feeling as this keeps getting drawn out longer and longer. Hopefully you will be able to find some peace and begin to heal after it leaves your body. Praying that things start moving soon so that you're able to move on from this.
You are in my thoughts.
I'm still getting little waves of nausea, and I opted for the d&c. My last hcg was 800 something, so I guess that's why.
I'm with Jesica, I hope that things start moving along soon.
Thinking of you.
Still thinking of you. I hope things start to move along soon.
