Pls share sucess stories after low beta

[riogirl71]

Baby - I want to warn you, don't be disappointed if your beta going to 0 takes longer than you think. Mine had a very sharp descent at first then 30 one week later 15 one week later 8 and so forth. So the decreasing slows down but you will get there. MTX was a good decision especially since your betas kept rising like mine.

I really don't know on the folic acid, my old RE said I didn't have to wait at all to cycle again. Yeah right! He was a quack. So I really don't know. I looked online a bunch and went with what was safer. Some doctors said that the half life of MTX is 24 hours or something so it is gone quickly. Ghost I think said to wait, you can check out a thread I started about MTX a while ago.

Anyway, best of luck! Keep us posted!

Rio Guru!!Seems like I am following your footsteps in this Beta journey...hopefully I will get a BFP too after this!
From Mr. Google it seems like 3 months is the recommenced time to wait, and I think I will just to be on the safe side.
Thanks for the heads up regarding betas slow decrease. As long as I dont need another shot, I think my patience will hold up (maybe, March is sooooooooo far away!)

How many eggs, and embryos did you get from your cycles? I tried DHEA on this last cycle and got double the #of eggs of my first IVF 3 years prior! So if you are like me with a MF issue but don't have 1000 eggs, maybe it will help?

LOL I have heard that you are DHEA pusher
On a serious note, last cycle they had 16 Eggs- 13 icsi- 8 fertilized- froze 2 embryos and put in 2 embryos. Usually there have been 16-20 eggs in each cycle. Is that average? too less? Do you recommend DHEA for me? Say the word, and I will buy in NOW

yeah that's me! Nope, it sounds like you respond great! You even had frosties which is great!
Alright now I got to push it onto someone else just kidding!
