Beta again

We did another Beta today as the Progesterone and E2 levels from the other day were worrying for the Doc. Today's numbers came back more satisfactory and it feels like a pat on the back for now.

16 days post 3-day transfer
Progesterone: 296.6
E2: 1671
HCG: 1,490

" An ultrasound at five or six weeks of pregnancy can better predict a good pregnancy outcome than any number of beta tests.  As a note, you won't expect to see a gestational sac or the fetus until the HCG level reaches at least 1,200 mIU/ml.   And you probably won't see a heartbeat until that level reaches at least 6,000 mIU/ml."

From: The Betabase

So does this mean that if we did a scan we would be able to see a sac since we've crossed the 1,200 hurdle? I have decided that unless necessary, I don't really want to know the statistics anymore. Mrs Ostrich is going to put her head in the sand now.
