TTC after 35

New beta results--UPDATE (chemical pregnancy mentioned)

97, or a doubling time of 33.34.

I'm not sure what to think--I want to be happy because they're doubling ok, but the RE is still pessimistic because they're so low, and the spotting isn't letting up.

Please keep the good vibes coming? :) I'm so thankful for you all.

ETA, progesterone is still low--10.9.

*********Beta today was 158, so a chemical pregnancy. RE told me to stop taking Crinone and expect my period this weekend. They'll still be watching for signs of an ectopic, but they're pretty sure it isn't one. Honestly, I'm just relived it resolved itself relatively early, the outcome wasn't worse, and we can move on.

Thanks for all your support, and happy Halloween!

  • doubling is good! Focus on that and try to keep the negative and pessimistic people at bay. I've had friend who bled (not even just spotting) for most of the first tri and they all have healthy kiddos so I'm having positive thoughts that this is the same for you!

  • Good thoughts coming your way!  i'm sorry you are going through this, not knowing is the worst!  take care!

  • I know the numbers are low but they are doubling nicely. Just remember they come up with the average numbers based on the high and low starting point. You are at the low starting point but your baby is progressing. Maybe it's just a lazy boy growing, I have one that's 10 and believe me when I tell you he is lazy!!!!

    Still sending the growing vibes to you.

    I'm very sensitive to diet (gluten, avoid processed foods) and environment. Have a history of inflammation and tendinitis before going off gluten in 2009.  
    July 2014 - RE Visit #1: Eggs look good, Endometrioma on R ovary, HSG showed blocked R tube close to ovary. DH SA normal 
    DX: Endometriosis probably the IF cause and gunking up tubes.  Since egg reserve is high, RE says I can wait a couple months and then get laproscopic surgery to remove endo & clear tube.  If that doesn't help then move to IVF. 
    Dec 2014 - Saw new RE - does not recommend surgery on tube as it isn't likely to help.  Doubts I have endometriosis.  My endometrioma shrunk to neglible size (yay!) 
    Seriously considering IVF in March/April

  • I'm sorry you're having to wait. Everyone is cheering the grow on!
    I am not sure how to say this without getting a "solicitation" warning so I guess I just say that I am not longer active on THIS site. 



  • Double FX for your double numbers. :) hope the news keeps getting better!
    me:41   dh:43 
    Off Mirena Nov 2013, On Nuvaring end of Jan, Back off Sept 2014.  Never ending cycle starting end of Sept... 
    11/14 Provera failed... cycle continues 
    12/14 High FSH (57 "midcycle")  OBGYN had no clue... about anything 
    01/15 More lab results coming back from RE. U/S showed small (1")cyst on left ovary, thin lining, and couldn't locate right ovary so  possibly straight to DE and IVF 

    Occassionally mess with the chart below to see "what if" and learn (not to make it pretty but because FF stays drunk with me).
