beta # 4 337

has anyone heard of something like this turning
out okay?? My nurse said not to be worried but I can't
help it!!!

Krys, I am sorry you are right that it is not rising as it should, I am sorry you are in beta hell. Hopefully there will be good news soo and it was just a slow poke who woke up. Fingers crossed for you!

Thanks for all the well wishes everyone..
I've been searching everywhere for success stories
with low rising betas and have actually found
quite a few. I am hoping for the best. They are
letting me re test tomorrow so I'm hoping we missed
the rise last time and will get a nice suprise of some
high numbers this time. I feel pregnant but I'm too scared
to let myself be excited I'm worrying about every little thing..
I thought the 2ww was bad but this is awful. Beta limbo sucks!
I will keep you all posted :)

Thanks for all the hope ladies these forums are
great because when I run out of hope there's someone
else out there being hopeful for me.
They are letting me re test tomorrow so I'm hoping
we just missed the rise the other day and will be
pleasently surprised with tomorrows number. I thought
the 2ww was bad but it's been nothing compared to this
beta limbo. I have been spending lots of my time looking
for hopeful stories online and have thankfully found quite
a few. I will update you all tomorrow thanks for your support!

I was hesitant to post this because it's depressing, but it sounds like you are coming to grips with it.

At this point we generally tell the patient that there is a very low probability of a normal pregnancy. We schedule an ultrasound to look carefully at the tubes.
Avoid IVF and surrogacy in Ukraine. Ukrainian centers pay shills to post here under numerous sock accounts pretending to be patients in Ukraine. Centers using such deceptive advertising cannot be trusted and should be avoided.

Ghost- I know it's depressing welcome to my life lately...
Will they be able to see if it's in my tubes just from an
ultrasound and if it is what do they usually do to get it out.
Are tubal pregnancies something that some people are prone
to??? I really know nothing about them. What if they see nothing
in my tubes and my numbers keep going up slowly what
could be causing this??
