My blood test results weren't great. In fact they down right sucked. My beta is only 35 which is pregnant but very low. The clinic have said that they don't want to get too excited about it as it could be another chemical pregnancy.
I just can't believe that after everything, after the absolute highs of this past few days, that it could possibly be taken away from us. The plans we have made, the dreams shared, all gone.
I have to go and have a repeat blood test on Friday to see what is happening. I asked the nurse what will be a good number for Friday and she said around the 100 mark. In my head I don't see it happening. I am so scared right now.
Honey, I am here for you. Any time at all.

Oh Bec, praying that all will be well, and in the meantime can any technology (like progesterone supplements) help at all? xxx
ReplyDeleteBec, I was gutted to read your post.
ReplyDeleteI'm praying (and I rarely pray) that come Friday your HCG is wayyyyy above 100....
xxxxx
praying for you bec!
ReplyDeleteBec - I have my fingers and toes crossed that it was too early for a good result with the first blood test. When I had mine done at the Dr she made me do a POAS and it was very feint, she said to not get my hopes up, two days later I rang for the result and it was the same as yours. Three days later again we did another blood test result and she said I was def pregnant, Matilda is proof of that second blood test, she is here so it was def okay.
ReplyDeleteMy fingers and toes are crossed for both you and Murray, I've been following your journey for quite a while now and wish you both the best of luck :)
It was you that inspired me to do boot camp which I think helped me lose the extra weight and fall pregnant :)
Thinking of you and Murray with fingers and toes crossed! (hard to type tho)!!!
Oh sweetie, I'm hoping and praying like crazy...
ReplyDeleteToday must be hard, but I actually really do know women who had betas of 35 and now have babies (ever read JJ's blog Reprodoctuve jeans? Beta of 35 and now has a baby). So yes it may not be good, but, high betas really don't mean anything either (we had high betas and nothing at the scan) so please try not to get too caught up in the numbers. thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteExactly what Duck said, try not to think about the numbers too much. I know it's hard, but just try. Sending you lots of love today!

Bec - don't give up hope yet, like the pp have said, it definitely isn't over yet. Hang in there ok and let us know what your results are Fri.
ReplyDeleteBig Hugs and Many Prayers!
Nancy (http://thenewlifeofnancy.blogspot.com/) had a beta of 15 with her last pregnancy (after a FET). She now has a son.
ReplyDeleteI've been told that unless it's waaay low, the rise is more important than the objective quantity. I hope the next beta is way over 100.
Here from LFCA:
ReplyDeleteMy first beta was 32.6
Second beta was 170
Here's hoping your second number shows a great doubling rate! Beta's are hard.
Hang in there.
Oh, and the pregnancy above?
She is now 2 1/2 :)

Oh hun, I'm sorry, but there is still hope. I have read somewhere (can't find where) that FETs can have lower betas because it takes them a little longer to get going after thaw. I'm thinking of you guys and hoping for a great number on Friday. I know the waiting is excruciating though.
ReplyDeleteMy first beta = 28.
ReplyDeleteSecond = 106
She is now 15 months old, running around like a wild child.
35 is not that low a beta for this early, no matter what people say. With my daughter, my first beta was only 45, and my next beta was only 70. My docs were convinced it was a chemical pregnancy or an ectopic, but my 8 month old begs to differ. With my twins my first beta was 101 and the second was only 175. Low and non doubling numbers are nerve wracking, but not necessarily the end. My fingers are crossed for you.
ReplyDeleteHere via L & F to let you know NOT to give up! Although my pregnancy wasn't a result of IUI/IVF, my beta 12 dpo was a measly 21. The nurse at the doctor's office actually said: "Well. Technically you're pregnant."
ReplyDeleteThat was 33 weeks ago. We're getting ready for the arrival of our baby boy in just a few short weeks. Don't give up hope! Sending my thoughts and prayers. *hugs*
Have everything crossed for you guys xxxxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteI know good things will happen to you. You need to know it too.
