I am new to this board.
I had IVF in Jan 2011 and have 2 healthy twin boys who are 16 months old. I tried transferring a frozen blastocyst in November 2013 which did not implant. Now I had another IVF and transferred 2 5db 3 weeks ago. My 42nd birthday is this week. My hcg has been going up but not as fast as they would like. 2 weeks post retrieval my hcg was 46, 2 days later it was 96 and 6 days later it was 940. I had an ultrasound yesterday to rule out ectopic and I had 1 gestational sac but no yolk sac and they said it could go either way (may just be really early from late implantation versus miscarriage) and scheduled another ultrasound in a week and half but no more bloodwork. They then told me that even though it was a 5 day transfer what was transferred was actually more like morula stage. I looked at ultrasound pictures online and it looked more like a 4 week old ultrasound with a fetus rather than a blighted ovum or miscarriage.
I'm on estrogen and progesterone.
I was feeling ok before the ultrasound but now I'm just really anxious I'm going to lose the baby. I want to feel positive. I know it could go either way. Should I ask for repeat bloodwork to see if the hcg is still going up?
I appreciate advise from others. I've lurked a lot so know this is relatively common and I'm not alone. It seems from looking online it could still be twins, could end in miscarriage, or I could end up with another baby. I'm hoping beyond hope for another healthy baby. I'm steeling myself for another round of IVF if this does not work out.
