Infertility

3rd and Final Beta in before U/S

Beta 3= 2962!

It's not quite double from Wednesday's numbers, but my nurse says that to go up 50-60% is good, and my levels look 'nice'. Considering they had almost tripled from Monday's beta to Wednesday, I feel this is fine, if you divide by the amount of days. Can't wait for 1st u/s on Wednesday! Woohoo!

 

On 10/23/13 Baby Sophie and Baby Gabriel born at 21+5 weeks. They grew wings and flew away from us. May God bless them always. We love you beans!

Freeze-All IVF#2: May 2013 ER 5/15. 31R, 21M, 20F. 6 5AA frozen blasts. Our PGD probe was completed in late June (total of 20 weeks to develop). PGD and PGS Results came on 6/19: 3 healthy embryos (normal chromosomes and unaffected by my family's genetic disorder). FET #1: July 2013 Natural Cycle - Cancelled due to insufficient lining (only got to 7.5mm). FET #1.2: August 2013 - Medicated Cycle with Lupron & Estrogen Patches to build up lining. Single embryo transfer was 8/23. Beta #1: 240! Beta #2: 578! U/S on 9/19 at 6w4d: We saw the heart beating at 131bpm. Second U/S on 10/4 at 8w5d: We saw the heart beating at 178bpm. EDD 5/11/2014

    PAIF/SAIF/Everyone Welcome! 


  • Thanks, Ladies. I have my ob scan on Wednesday, as well as a fu with my RE at the same time, since he's going to be in the room at the time of the scan. Do my numbers look decent? I know they don't tell the whole story, and the nurse says they look good and everything, I just can't help but feel a little dread that they didn't double. I'm a nutjob, what can I say. I looked at that beta calculator, which says I am doubling at 68 hrs, which they say is 'normal'. I'm not sure what precisely this means as it pertains to me. Should I be worried after all? Ugh, I hate IF. Marring my joy.

  • That's wonderful news! GL on u/s!
    Five IUI 's and two 3 day IVF transfers and two chemical pregnancies. Unknown to me at the time was that I was hypothyroid and had endometriosis. All that heartache and money and I would have never gotten pregnant. Time for new RE. New RE found the thyroid and endo. I had another 5 day transfer in April when all 7 embryos arrested on day four. Transferred three morali and didn't conceive. Thyroid function is excellent now. DH SCSA came back perfect. Now for IVF number four in June 2013. I had two perfectly expanded blasts put back and five frosties! I have never gotten this far! Now to wait for blood test on 6/26. My heart is In my throat! Please let this work, BFP with HPT 7 days and 8 days after transfer.
