Beta Hell Continues....

hydrangeagirlhydrangeagirl member
in TTC after 35

I had my sixth beta draw this morning and it came back at 514; for reference my fifth draw last Friday was 264.  P4 was 33.  

I was scheduled for an u/s on Wednesday but asked for it to be moved to tomorrow morning instead.   I am still so scared this is going to be ectopic.  I know the u/s won't show anything in my uterus but will the RE be able to see any enlargements or whatever else they look for in my tubes?

HELP!!!!! 

Me, 41; DH 38; TTC since July 2012, 1st round of Clomid, BFP on 10/19, what an incredible blessing!  M/c on 7w3d; D&C on 11/30; 4th round of Clomid 100mg = BFP on 04/19!!! M/c #2 at 7w; D&C on 5/30, then repeat D&C on 7/1.  Saline u/s on 8/2, uterus looks great!  Will start TTC in 09/13 w/ Clomid 100mg. Surprise natural BFP on 8/25!!! Beta #1=95, #2=182, #3=404!  EDD 5/4/13...Grow baby grow!

    ((hugs)).

    I'm so sorry you are going through this, too.

    The discriminatory zone is somewhere between 1000-2000 (depending on the person).  I do not know if your RE will be able to see anything in your tube.

    Even when I was diagnosed with an ectopic, they were not entirely sure that the "suspicious" area near one of my ovaries was actually a pregnancy. 

    I hope you get some kind of answers tomorrow.

    Unfortunately it's really hard for anything to be seen in the tubes especially so early on. My ectopic wasn't discovered until I was 8 weeks along, and even then it was more through process of elimination than anything. I was having severe pain and bleeding, they couldn't see anything anywhere through either vaginal or abdominal u/s, and yet my HCG was at 10,000 which meant the baby should have been large enough to see easily. They finally saw a slight enlargement in my right tube, but even then it wasn't a confirmed ectopic until they went in laparoscopically to remove it. 

    I'm so sorry for what you're going through, possible ectopic is its own special kind terrible. ((Hugs)) and I hope you get some answers soon!

    That's good that you were able to move it sooner. I'm not sure an u/s will confirm if it's an ectopic or not. When I had my u/s done they said they were looking for a fluid filled sac or something of that sort. But the only way they can tell for sure if it's an ecoptic is thru a Laparascopy. Are you having any pain or extreme discomfort? My RE kept asking me that when they suspected an ectopic but I was feeling fine, no pain at all. I'm parying for you and hope that everything turns out good for you, hang in there! I know it's hard :(
