Hi Ladies,
I got my positive beta results on MOnday but it was low at 35. I went again this morning
to re-do blood work and it was at 50 which means it did not double. Does it sound like I am going to miscarry ? Worried Sick at the moment. Going for another beta on Friday!

hi dnl,
From what my nurse told me, betas are supposed to go up by 60% when you go in. Betas dont double every 2 days for everyone (standard is to double within 31-72 hours). They didnt for me and alot of women actually. Your beta seems a bit low, but its rising, which is the most important. Have you talked to your nurse? Dont worry too much until there is something to worry about.

I never had that experience with my nurse at RMA and I am sorry they havent been more delicate about what you are feeling 
Hang in there until your beta on Friday - I am hoping that all will be fine. There is nothing you can do until then when you get your results. It could just be a slow rise...

It did almost go up by 60% you are only short by a tinsy bit. I would try not to worry too much even though I know it's hard not to. Sorry you have that experience with your nurse, I also did not have that experience. I would ask to switch nurses if you really dont' like her. Praying that your numbers rise for Friday.

Been almost 3 weeks now and wow this thread moves Jchic & Daisy congrats on the bfps and good luck to anybody in the process of a cycle right now and welcome to the new additions.
AFM I was not ovulating on my own so Dr. Rybak gave me a pill called NETA so I didn't have to wait forever for AF to start, I start my lupron tonight finally, have a scan on the 28th and start stimming that night, it seems like it took forever to get here.
In the spare time we have been looking at property in PA looking to move there in a few months we been going up on Sunday's so far nothing peaked my interest much but I'm being quite fussy lol

Hello Ladies!
I am back on the forum which means i am back to my hormone stimulation cycle! kind of excited yet anxious. i can't help being anxious because i want it to work so bad. Im on CD3 . RN said to start the gonal at a higher dose this time. Last time i didnt react until almost CD30! now hopefully it will be sooner rather than later. i actually have a question. using the gonal, will my period be shorter? i normally have long cycled--some last upto 50 days and period actually lasts almost 2 weeks! And i noticed on my last hormone cycle it was 39 days. i had a cycle with no hormones that laste 48 days. so it seems like with hormones my cycle and period are much shorter. is this the case overall? do the hormones trigger the body to ovulate sooenr?

Hi Poms! Good to hear from you again....I am not sure actually...my period didnt really change when I started my gonal cycle? I am hoping that this more aggressive protocol brings you your BFP! Cant wait to hear your progress. When do you go back for your scan? How many follies did you have at baseline?
I go back monday..RE wants 4 days of the gonal at 125. last cycle started slow at the lowest dosage...i hit 265 IU on the gonal then everything just happened..but that was on about CD 25 that i saw something. Took forever and wetn through almost 5 gonal pens to get a canceled cycle. hopefully this is a lot sooner response.
Oh and i had about 15 follies on the left antd 35 on the right. RE said looks ready to go and i got my instructions that night to start shooting up! oh the joy! but looked for a BFP like you said.
Not sure if it took long because it was my first cycle and they started me slow to see how i respond. now they starting a little higher so hopefully instead at responding at CD25 i can respond at CD15. Dont look forward to another 30-40 day cycle! aroudn what CD did you respond?

I'm glad they highered your meds and hopefully that will do the trick this time, stimming for that long must have been awful. I think for my IUI's I would trigger around day 10 and for IVF I think it was maybe day 12 or 14 I can't remember
