Hi Guys,

I am trying to catch up on my posts. I am so sorry to be late, but it has been a rough couple of days for a couple of reasons.

My beta dropped to 15.4, so I am having another "chemical pregnancy". Also, my grandmother has been admitted to the hospital. She was originally supposed to have ...

Hi Everyone!

First, I appreciate everyone's concern and blessings! I truly appreciate it. Unfortunately, my beta dropped to 15.4. Another chemical pregnancy. I'm devastated and heartbroken and have spent several hours crying :cry: :cry: :cry:

Second, I haven't had any time to post because my ...

Hi Ghost,

Thank you for responding so quickly and for your frankness. It is tough to hear, but does not come as a total shock. I just really thought this would be the cycle for us because we had positive signs from the beginning, starting with my response to the meds.

I think the most frustrating ...

You are right...I may just have a couple of fighters in me! I've been known get my Irish up, maybe ...

Hi Girls!

Thanks for your sympathies and kind words! The nurse didn't say much except that it was a positive test but they are concerned because the beta level is low. I tested 14 days after transfer, which seems to be the norm with this clinic. She didn't tell me what level they hoped it would be ...

Thanks Valerie68! I know you're right, it's just so devastating to get that phone call! I really am trying to stay positive, but it is just so hard today! I'm hoping tomorrow will be a better day. I am hoping and praying that for some reason I just implanted very late and that they still have a ...

Ghost, likely another chemical?

Hi Ghost,

I'm sure this has been asked and answered many times already, so forgive me for asking again!

This is my 4th IVF cycle and my 2nd BFP, but with a low beta number. With my first chemical, my beta started at 28.2 (14dp3dt) and then dropped to 15. My beta today was 34.6 (14dp3dt). I was ...

My beta is in. It is only a 34. The nurse admitted that it was low and didn't sound too positive. She just said to rest and continue the meds. My progesterone level is good. I go back on Thursday for a 2nd beta. It seems this might be another chemical. :cry: :cry: :cry:

Well girls, the beta is in. A measly 34 point something. The nurse didn't sound too positive. My progesterone level is good. Whatever that means. I stay on the meds and get second beta on Thursday. Life couldn't suck more for me right now. My last chemical started with a 28 beta, so I'm not that ...

Hahahahahaha! I think I am your dark haired twin out here in NY! My tests (I took 5 just today :wink: ), are all lined up together in a very neat, very straight row and all labeled with date and time!!!

My husband thinks I am officially nuts. Mind you, I did not want to POAS this time around. HE ...

You're message was so sweet! I totally know we will fall inlove with our child(ren) too from the second we meet him/her. I go for the beta between 7 and 9 tomorrow morning. They usually have results ready between 1 and 2pm. I POAS again (I'm insane) and got 2 more lines :) I then worked up the nerve ...

My2LnT: Your message made me feel better! The line has gotten slightly darker, but certainly not as dark as the control line. I know you said your 1st beta was 98. May I ask what your other beta #s were and how far along you are?

Thanks and Congratulations on a BFP!!!!!!!!
