Success after IF

BETA is in......

it's positive!!!  OMG!  My beta @ 8dp5dt is 27.  A little low, but my RE said it's a positive.  I go back Wednesday to see if it's doubled.

What do you think about 27?  My RE didn't seem concerned, but I worry that it's low........

several failed cycles on clomid and lose dose injectibles, IUI #1 2009 - BFN IUI #2 2009 - BFP - boy/girl twins born at 31 weeks. IVF #1= BFN; FET #1 = c/p; FET #2 = c/p, FET #3 = negative, FET #4 = positive, baby stillborn at 24 weeks.

  • Congrats!  I wouldn't worry about the starting number.  The most important thing is that it rises appropriately.  Good luck!

    A lot of years and a million tears finally led me to you.
    After 7 years trying to concieve, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs, my third IVF was a success!
    My Christmas baby turned into a turkey bird! Dillon Richard was born at 34 weeks, 5 days on November 28, 2009 after 10 weeks on bedrest for preeclampsia.

  • Congrats!!!!!!!

     

  • Congrats!  My RE was shooting for around 100 at 14dpo so 27 might be considered a bit low but we all know it's the doubling that matters and not the initial number so fingers crossed for a great second beta.

    Kelly, Mom to Christopher Shannon 9.27.06, Catherine Quinn 2.24.09, Trey Barton lost on 12.28.09, Therese Barton lost on 6.10.10, Joseph Sullivan 7.23.11, and our latest, Victoria Maren 11.15.12

    Secondary infertility success with IVF, then two losses, one at 14 weeks and one at 10 weeks, then success with IUI and then just pure, crazy luck.  Expecting our fifth in May as the result of a FET.

  • Congratulations!  Mine at 13dpo was only 40, so not far off.  It's the doubling that matters anyway.  Good luck!

  • Thanks everyone!  I hate reading so much into numbers!! 

    I'm never using $$ tree tests again.  The negatives really bummed me out this weekend.  I should've known better.  Is it odd that I want to run out and buy a FRER or a digital?  I need more confirmation for some silly reason. 

    More waiting for Wednesday ..... 

    But for now, feeling very blessed!
