I woke up to my worst nightmare this AM: spotting. It wasn't a lot and it was brownish-red. Now it is heavier and bright red. I called the nurse and she tried to reassure me that it can be normal. But I'm not buying it. I think it's over. I don't know why this keeps happening. My hCG was 80 at only 11 DPIUI yesterday and my progesterone was 22. How can I be bleeding?
I spotted last time with my blighted ovum but it wasn't this heavy this soon. AF isn't even due until Saturday or Sunday. I don't get it. What is going on?
If it was a chemical wouldn't my beta be really low? I'm worried it will end up being another b/o or even an ectopic. I keep feeling these weird twinges on my right side. Does anyone have any insight? I'm sure it's over though. I can't take this...right before Christmas. I'm going to demand an RPL panel be done and chromosome testing on both of us.
We were supposed to start IVF in Jan. If this is a chemical and I get AF soon, will this delay my IVF? I was supposed to do a month of BCP and Lupron. Do they generally make you wait another month?
Thank you all for your support. I am just so devastated and trying not to cry at work.
Re: I think it's over already
Try to stay calm. A beta of 80 at 11 dpiui is good - mine at 14 dpiui was only 65, and I now have a happy, healthy 15 month old. You are only 13 dpiui - it could be more implantation bleeding - that little embryo burrowing deeper could explain your twinges as well.
Is there any way you can have another beta drawn? Sending you big hugs and prayers for good news.
I had a chemical (with last iui), but my beta was much lower (30 something). The one RE I had to see was going to make me wait a month (to start bcp for ivf #1), but I spoke with my RE and he said that there was no need to wait, I just had to have my beta down to 0. Because my beta was so low, it went to 0 right around the same time AF was due to arrive. With yours being higher, it might take longer to get it down to 0 IF you are having a chemical.
When's your next beta? Try and stay positive! There are many women here that bled during their pgs. Good luck!
GL!
