Beta tests rule my life

dukegirlscdukegirlsc member
edited March 2015 in TTC after 35
This is just me venting, so thanks in advance for putting up with this brand of crazy! I had another beta today, AND it's 13.1…down from 42.4 but still not below 5 where it needs to be so that we can proceed. I swear the last 4 months of my life have been wrapped up around beta lab values. The waiting game is one of the most exhausting/emotional/depressing things for me!

    Sorry you didn't get the news you were hoping for today. By next week you should be back to normal. Just one more week and you can do your testing.

    No you totally don't. I know the frustration of what you are going through. Loss is hard enough to deal with, Then you have to wait for your body to get back to normal in order to move foreword.
    This is a valid vent. I'm just trying to help you see he light at the end of your very long tunnel.

    Ugh, that sounds so demoralizing... waiting for the numbers to dwindle so you can start all over again. I'm so sorry. Feel free to vent -- very, very valid, as was said above -- and treat yourself to whatever may help (wine? treats? TV binge?) during this time.
