However, the growth of the gestational sac is quite predictable. About 1 mm per day. Therefore, if you saw a 8 mm sac on Friday, and nothing was seen on Thursday, I would have some concern. Further, given the skepticism we all have regarding quant HCG, many would argue abandonment of hcg once ultrasound presence is confirmed.

The 530D has a pretty good vag probe.  My guess is that it was
undectable the day before.  Remeber there must be a finite point in
time when a GS is detectable. It has nothing to do with waiting 48,
72, or 96hours.; that has to do with the reproducibilty of an
increasing quant beta.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
