Jenbabes - your in my thoughts, I'm sharing the same head space as you. A good friend of mine gave me some smart advice - she reminded me to just let my thoughts go through the motions and grieve and not feel guilty for what we feel or how we react. Also, not to blame oursleves.

Low BETA success stories...?

Hi everyone,

I had a beta of 2 at 7 days past a 6 day transfer. My progesterone was 55.

Has anyone had a miracle after a low beta like this?

Being realistic know that it is too low for any hope but I am clutching at straws. I am at the point where I think we have to call it a day and look to a ...

Hey Jen- Finally some wonderful news . Can I pick your brain though....

How many days past transfer were you when you got your beta and what was the BETA numbers (did you do a 3 or 5 day transfer - I can't recall).

I had a beta of 2 at 7 days after a 6 day transfer - I guess I am grasping at ...

Hi everyone
I had my first blood test today. Sadly - progesterone was 55 which they said was good, but the pg hormone was only 2.

I am 7dp6dt so a BETA of 2 really is too low to have any hope. I feel just numb and empty. I've had IVF with 2 different partners and the problem seems to be my body ...

I have been experiencing cramps and twinges since the 2nd day of transfer. They come and go. I don't think we can say what is and isn't normal during this time. So many women experience so many different things some go on to have BFN and some BFP.
Just hang in there!!! And good luck, hope your ...

I work during stims but I am gentle on myself. I also don't have 12 hour shifts. If I didn't work, I'd go crazy.

wannabeamomma – hang in there. Out of my 8 retrieved, 7 fertilised and had 1 perfect one on day 6. The rest eventually stopped developing. It’s true about the quality not quantity, it’s just hard to console oneself when we have these expectations.

Hello cath

On this last cycle, I had definate twinges in my ovaries after about 4 days of starting stims. At times they were quite sharp.

There was lots of bloating and was very uncomfortable. The bloating has just gone down 3 days after egg retrieval. I was high dosage of stims too.

I had sharp ...
