Infertility

Beta #2

I received the results for my second Beta which was 44.8. Although higher than the initial reading of 18, the numbers are not what the RE expected. The nurse asked me about sharp pains to one side of my abdomen and if I felt anything out of sorts to call. I asked if they were suspecting an ectopic and she said its too early too tell but yes that is a possibility. 
Beta #3 is next Tuesday. I am still debating if I will continue testing til then. At the moment I feel optimistic, it may be that this is how cryoocyte (or how I call it Popsicle) pregnancies start. 
It may have been a silly move on my part but today I bought baby socks, I wanted something for my Phoenix beans.

  • Wishing all the best. I think it's a wise idea to purchase something for your little one. Stay positive. It can't hurt. However, stress can. So head up my lady. Your little one needs you to stay positive. Oxoxo
