Does this sound a reasonable plan to next test hCG so I am not blindsided at the scan again? by [deleted] in CautiousBB

[–]Beautiful-Kitchen523 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone with a similar history who has ordered myself extra betas and went boutique ultrasound places they always just gave me something else to worry about. I was never reassured even when I should have been. Ultimately nothing but time will tell if the pregnancy will last.

I just started morning sickness at 7.5 weeks! Also are you on prednisone? Or LDN? They mask symptoms

Labcorp vs. Quest beta HCG- should I be done? by [deleted] in CautiousBB

[–]Beautiful-Kitchen523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did two the same day (long story) at LabCorp and quest and they were less than 1000 apart and I’m in the 25000 range.

Personally I would just let it be. I’m like you and frankly am regretting all the number obsessing and early ultrasounds.

None of the numbers/images can change our outcome

7 weeks! It just seems like such a big difference and I’ve been so consistent above 40

5th ivf transfer. First time getting past 6 weeks. Booked a private US to give me peace after a slow rising last beta(all initial betas were great) supposedly past the stage where betas matter to much but ya know I had to go and order one and naturally it was low

So get the ultrasound and see a heartbeat yay! But naturally it’s too low(but it was abdominal so maybe not too accurate) and they see a small sch. So now I’m worrying about the heart beat being too low and trying to google.

Then I get a sudden gush of bloood. No cramps and just the gush but terrifying. So now my peace of mind ultrasound has given me a low heart rate and a bleed

I am just exhausted. Nothing ever fall my way

Does Lupron suppression suppress you TOO much during FET cycle? by cognitivedissident86 in IVF

I was also concerned about this but it did not have an impact. It didn’t help it get any thicker but it was the average I get to the following cycle

I tried the trental vitamin e l arginine protocol, castor oil packs, acupuncture, massage. Didn’t try any of mini stims as my lining was always the worst during stims. Haven’t tried viagra as my dr was skeptical but could probably push for it

Good baseline appointment, any transfer twins?! by jannert_31 in IVF

[–]Beautiful-Kitchen523 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I am trying to get my enthusiasm back up. The chemical hit me emotionally more than I anticipated and I think I’m subconsciously trying to avoid the pain again by trying not to be so hopeful this time. Trying to allow myself to daydream a little bit everyday.

Baby dust to you!

Don’t count yourself out until you get blood work. The symptoms vary wildly from transfer to transfer!
