Beta is zero.... Made an RE appt

in TTC After a Loss
So my beta is finally negative and I was looking forward to do some testing but got the feeling my OB was putting it off. She called last night and gave the go ahead to try end of feb/ early march but doesn't see the point of doing testing bc she doesn't feel my two m/c were related. I am still uneasy that this last pregnancy was never technically confirmed ectopic so it could have been another nonviable intrauterine. That makes me feel testing is important. She feels I just had bad luck. She did offer a referall to an RE to get a second opinion and said that this particular dr is relays smart and may want to be more aggressive. I was able to get in next Thursday which has taken a bit of pressure off my chest. I am very much looking forward to getting a fresh perspective of this past year. My only fear is she will say a differ t wait time to ttc... I read online some doctors recommending 6 months after 2 methotrexate doses, my doc says not necessary as it is out of your system within just a week or so just the 3 months! Anyone have experience with the two doses?? Anyway I babble a lot but I feel like I am getting a fresh start in a way...

    I can't answer your questions, but I think it's smart to see an RE and get a second opinion. I hope all goes well with your appt next week!

    Seeing an RE (if even just to help manage your fears) is never a bad idea in my opinion.

    My RE helped me to feel so much more grounded with the TTC process.  I was able to check all the boxes and develop a plan that fit my needs.

    I only had one shot, and my doctor told me to wait two cycles-so not even three months.  My thought would be if you had the two shots close together the three months should be enough time-but it will be good to get the RE's opinion so you feel more comfortable.  I also hope the RE will do some addt testing for you if you want it-I know it would help me to feel more at ease.  Good luck!

    I think this is great news all around.  Hopefully the RE will do exactly what you said and give you a fresh perspective on everything.  If nothing else, they will hopefully reassure you of the diagnosis your OB made.

     Best of luck!  I'll be looking forward to an update next week!
