3 failed IUIs. How do you cope?

[Maverick007]

Hi Guys,

SOrry I didn't post anything yesterday I was just soooo out of it all day. Bad news on my end, even though my test was positive my beta is only 18.

I have to go back and test my beta in two days but more then likely this is a chemical pregnancy. I'm devestated, words can't describe how I feel right now. I barely slept last night...I was sooo sure it was going to happen this time. I don't really know what else to say but wanted to thank all of you for your support this whole cyle.

what day did you have your transfer? did the RE say it was likely a chemical? it's pretty common to have a low beta early on, but as long as the numbers keep doubling as they should, that is what matters. the initial number doesn't matter as much as how well it doubles...i understand your feelings, and don't want to give false hope, but hang in there! for now you are pregnant and see how the next number goes.

ETA: babywish, i just went back and saw you had ET on the 18th...so you had a 9day later blood test, that is still considered very early! my RE told me if i had anything above 10, they'd be happy with that, and my beta was the same length of time after ET as yours.

Omg baby wish I'm so so sorry. Like maverick said keep hope as there's still a chance your beta will go up. Does your doctor have any idea what could have been the cause? Or still too early to tell?

Oh baby wish, I'm so sorry you are going through this. But I agree with maverick that its still really early. My clinic also said they were looking for numbers above 10 and wanted to see them double. I can't believe your clinic would say it might be a chemical when they don't know for sure. I'm praying for you today and I'm so sorry you're feeling so upset.

babywish. Sorry you're going through this. The next couple days will be tough for sure till you know the result of the next beta. It sucks to be in limbo like that. We're here if you feel like venting.

 

[baby.wish]

thank you ALL...its so nice to talk to people who understand how frustrating this experience can be. I am trying really hard to stay positive until Thursday. I wish there was something I could do instead of just wait. My DH is being soooo positive and still believes its possible everything will work out. I'm really praying

praying for you too! i actually read something the other day about a girl whose first beta was 6, and she went on to have a normal pregnancy...so stranger things have happened! sometimes late implantation can be a factor...keep the faith! we're here if you need to vent.

Babywish I just read your story and I wanted to tell you that my first hcg was 19 which was drawn 11 days after my iui!

 

[Mrs. T]

baby wish I am praying everything is okay.

 

[Breaking Dawn]

Baby wish...

Thinking positive thoughts for you..we will see that number double!

 

[Mrs. T]

I am happy to report that I finally got the go ahead today! Everyday there is either a problem with my follicle count or estrogen level. Monday I was told I had 4 mature follicles out of 37 total and my estrogen was 3280, then oddly on Tuesday I had 2 mature follicles out of 33 total (I think it was a u/s tech error) and my estrogen was 4609. Today I have 14 mature follicles out of 29 and my estrogen is 5750!!! I get to trigger tonight and ER is on Friday!!! The wait from the extra stimming days has been awful!

 

[PinkPeony]

Yes! You made it to trigger! Congratulations!

 

[Strawberry13]

Mrs t yay finally!!!

Feeling totally normal lol! I'm dying to feel something but I know that's not how it goes. Been taking it really yesterday and today. My DH texted me today "omg you're PUPO!" Lol! I died.

 

[Mrs. T]

Your DH is so cute! Keep us posted on symptoms!

 

[Maverick007]

ha! pink that's hilarious. i told my DH about the term 'pupo' and he looked at me like i was on crack!

 

[StayHopeful]

Baby.wish, I'm really hopeful that your numbers will double. That's the important thing! I know the waiting is awful and we're all here for you. I'm so sorry you're having to go through this.

Woohoo, Mrs. T! Good luck with ER!
