Third-Party Reproduction

*Update*Say What??!! BFP?

edited October 2013 in Third-Party Reproduction
So I got the call......beta is 22! So as of right now I am pregnant. Holy cow.

((PLEASE STICK LITTLE ONE!!! and DOUBLE DOUBLE!!!))

*UPDATE* Well it's only 24 (10dp5dt). Because I had an HCG booster the RE feels this is a more accurate number and I go back for Beta 3 on Thursday. So not great, not bad. Just apparently beta hellz until then.

*UPDATE #2* Well again not good, not bad..... It came back at 36 (13p5dt) and they want me to stay on meds and have another beta NEXT THURSDAY. I could just cry. Why can't it just be clear cut great numbers....

April 2013 DE IVF= BFN

September 2013 DE IVF (Fingers Crossed) = BFFFN! again...

October 2013 FET of our last 2 = Beta Hellzz for 6-7 Weeks. M/C

  • I'm so sorry that the second beta wasn't what you wanted. When did you do a HCG booster?? I'm kind of annoyed your RE sent you for such an early beta if you could still have had the booster your system. That just gives you anxiety waiting for the next beta. Fx that you get good news on Thursday.

    I had the booster the day of transfer. Also he even told he to expect skewed results, but yeah this sucks. I took another HPT this morning, one of the newer Clear Blue with weeks estimator and it can back positive weeks 1-2. I hate to be positive but hate to be negative about things yet?

    Thanks everyone! We have told no one IRL so it's been great to have you guys as support.
