Beta is in

Dr office just called...technically it's positive, but was only a 9. They said chemical pregnancy only and to stop meds. I had a feeling it would be negative, but it still hurts. It's just so heartbreaking every time. I feel so broken...thanks for listening

    I am sorry.  Can you ask them to do another one on Wednesday?  I wouldn't stop the meds without a second beta.  What day post transfer are you?  T&P to you and your DH

    I agree with the other girls. Don't stop the meds just yet, it could just be a slow starter.

    This was my first IUI. We did a fully monitored clomid cycle with a trigger and 1 IUI. I thought to myself I should ask for another test wednesday as well but didn't know if I was just being too hopeful. I think I'll call them back.

    Also, I apologize for sounding harsh. Not my intention at all. I'm surprised your doc would have you stop meds though. Hopefully it's just a slow starter!

    I was surprised as well. They said I can come back friday b/c she thinks wednesday would be too soon. I have had 2 chemical pregnancies before. We'll see.
