Pls share sucess stories after low beta

[riogirl71]

Baby - I am so sorry. I am still not sure he will be able to see anything in the us at 415 but it is encouraging to see that he is looking. I would ask for another beta on Tuesday. You need to know if the number just stopped growing or is it still growing slower or decreasing. I am very sorry you had to go through this, my heart aches for you. THis could mean many things, the baby did not implant at a good spot, the baby had a genetic flaw and did not make it. THe good news is you did get pregnant and that means good news because you can get pregnant again. I am praying for a miracle still. But please do ask for another beta. Huge hugs and my heart aches for you.

Baby:

I am sorry that you are struggling with this. It is so hard to know what is going to happen. I agree with Rio, ask for another beta. Lots of (((((Hugs))))) You will continue to be in my prayers.

Did you see a sac? We were expecting inconclusive anyway so that is good news! With your betas rising you can see so much more next week!

Can;t wait to hear your triple beta!!!!!!!!!

I posted this on the Nov thread too but here it goes:
One of the twins lost his heartbeat and he is not going to make it. The other one seems very healthy.
I am just so upset right now. I know having twins was going to be complicated and risky but I already was in love with him/her and I am really sad. We go in again on Thursday to make sure. One in five twins don't make it, I just never thought we would be the statistic. Also they say once you see a heartbeat and sac measuring well that your chances of losing that baby are 8%, I didn't think we would be in the 8% either.
I am praying so hard that the one baby is healthy and we can meet him/her in 8 months!

Oh, Rio, I'm so sorry. Cry your heart out if that's what you need to do, but don't forget to share some of that emotion for the bean you still have - be at the same time excited and positive for that one! Hugs to you and your DH

Rio, SD ,Margi , sharishu , Tammy and all the strong women...I cant thank you guys enough for being there for me. I am not too good with expressing my feelings, but seriously, you guys are my rock!!

[riogirl71]

Baby - no one knows how much this hurts or how hard it is better than our group of girls. We are here for you for whatever you need and I hope that somehow there is a miracle, I know you need to be "cautious" but Margi said that to me, we are good about holding on to that 1% of hope no one else seems to be able to.

Good luck hun and I will be watching for your post, don't forget to ask for a beta, you need to know what your numbers are doing!

[sharishu]

Baby-
So sorry you didn't get the raise in beta that you were hoping for . We are still here for you! Hope you find the comfort you need from your family and your 'forum' family . Feel better!


Rio-
How u feeling?

Thanks Shari, I am so scared right now. I am so worried about losing this bean we have now. I really hope his little brother/sister angel watches over him to keep him safe and healthy. Another US on Thursday and terrified until then You just never think that after a healthy HB and measurements that you are going to be in the 8% who don't have a baby survive.

This IVF is so hard, I don't know what I would do without you girls!

Rio-
I can imagine how you feel... that 'easy come easy go' feeling. Not that any of this is easy! But I know you didn't expect a twin, and just as quickly as you found out, it was gone . It's pretty common though, they even call it a 'vanishing twin', meaning that you are not the first person this has happened to. During our pregnancies (with #1), there was a woman on the August '08 thread who went through the same thing. She went on to have a healthy baby girl . Hope that helps a bit. Waiting with you for the healthy US. Breathe easy till then, just relax and remember that you are, indeed, pregnant

Hugs!

Baby - any news from your US today? Sending good thoughts and baby dust your way!

Shari - thank you, I hope the same happens to us and we go on to have a healthy one!

Sending prayers and strength to you today as you go for your u/s (((HUGS)))

Nothing there in u/s.
Beta report in the afternoon.

[riogirl71]

Baby - I am so sorry. Huge hugs and I don't even know what to say. This beta hell crazyness is the worse. Let us know what the beta comes at. Make sure that they follow your beta at least once a week from now on so that you know what's going on. At least you know it probably is not an ectopic and the good news is that the baby did implant and you did get pregnant which they say is helpful for next time. I know you are heartbroken and I am so sorry. I wish there was something I could do or say for you. Vent anytime. IVF is the hardest thing I have ever had to do by far and I have had some pretty rought spots. Take care of your self and hold DH close.

Baby I am so so so so sorry Nothing anyone can say will make it better but I am sending positive healing thoughts your way and will have you in my thoughts & prayers everyday through this process. Take care my dear & allow yourself to grieve

Beta is 563, RE said that there are 2 options, one- not to do anything, and second to be proactive and take medication/injection....I am not sure what I should do...any suggestions/advice?

I was thinking about completely stopping medication, and go back to RE for injection on Monday if I dont get my periods till then, seems logical?

I though this was it...I am going to have a baby this cycle, but the journey continues.

Thank you very much for your support, understanding and warm hugs! we have not shared ivf treatment with anyone in our family or friends...Dont know what I would do without you guys!

Sending you hugs Baby - as Rio said though, the good news is that your bean did implant, so you know you can get pregnant, so I'll be keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you in 2011
