TTC after 35

Beta Hell took the the air out of my balloon today

Beta was 6.2  RE said they like to see it between 25-50 at 12dp3dt.  I have every reason to believe that I just have a late implanter here-since HPT was negative both Friday and Saturday.  Will be repeating Beta on Wednesday.  Need truckloads of doubling dust here!  Off tomorrow and going to try to take it easy, and have accupuncture scheduled.  I don't know whether to be happy, sad, or what.  IF really suck, but I should know better than to expect smooth sailingSad

  • Ohhhh, fingers crossed for a late implanter!!!!  How stressful...try to take good care of yourself.  I'm sure these are going to be the longest days ever for you (at least that's how I felt when waiting for beta results earlier this year), so I'm glad to hear you have some things scheduled to help get you through.  Best of luck to you!

  • Fingers crossed for you!  The difference between 6 and 25 isn't a lot.  Sending doubling vibes your way!
  • Sorry you are going through this. But hang in there. Your late implantation theory could be right on. Acupuncture and relaxation sound really good for you right about now.

  • Doubling Vibes are being being sent by the truckload to you!!!  I'm really praying that you get great news on Wed.  I've been there and know how long those two days can be.  I think relaxing and your accupuncture sound like a great idea to help keep you as relaxed as possible.

  • Thanks for all the encouragement ladies.  Hope you don't mind if I stick around at least until I'm able to leave Beta Hell.  Promise not to post a ticker, scared to jinx anything.  I left work early today and came home and took a long nap.  Halloween has been hard-maybe I'll have a little one next year, or maybe not.  Pretty stuck in my own world right now.....hope that there's a rainbow of hope on Wed.
