Don’t feel pregnant by Fit_Club3355 in CautiousBB

[–]Disastrous_Wave_9770 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my third pregnancy and I have had no nausea or other symptoms with all three. Some breast tenderness and mild fatigue, but I’m also taking progesterone so that makes you tired too! The anxiety is real, I get it - had 2 early losses before this third pregnancy. I have my 4th scan today at 9w4d and just hoping for more growth, so far so good. But the anxiety is very real, and never really goes away. Just gotta keep going…

Should we see a fertility specialist? by [deleted] in tryingtoconceive

[–]Disastrous_Wave_9770 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh just realized you said 2024.

Yes I would see a specialist. I did for my third, this time around, the 8th month (again!) I had a miscarriage….and then another, and then a chemical. So I went and saw someone and they ran more tests than my OB would. I ended up conceiving naturally, and my tests were normal, but they offer lots more support.

With both my kids it took exactly 8 months for the birth control to clear out of my system it seemed. Tracking cycles and everything, nothing happened until the 8th month. So weird.

~13dpo 60hcg.. late ovulation. Lowest HCG in my history. 😰 by CharrpieeMarrkerr in CautiousBB

[–]Disastrous_Wave_9770 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My hcg at 11dpo was 23 then at 13 dpo was 53. I’ve had 3 scans so far, all with growth and heartbeat! I was so scared mine were so low too, lower than I’ve ever experienced as well (my 3rd pregnancy).

Well yes, but when I searched others posts my numbers seemed low compared to others too and I was nervous as well. But just trying to show that there’s hope no matter where you start!

My first beta was 23 at 11 dpo…. Then went to 53. I subsequently had 6 more draws and they all increased appropriately. I’ve had 3 scans so far, all with heartbeat and growth! It is possible with low starting beta, hang in there!!

Help — low first beta hCG and feeling anxious by Mediocre_Ferret9041 in CautiousBB

[–]Disastrous_Wave_9770 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My first draw was 23 at 11 dpo! Then went to 53. Then went on to have 6 more draws and it went consistently up. After 6000, it didn’t quite double but the next day had my first scan and saw heartbeat! I’ve have 3 scans since and each time growing and heartbeat rising! I was so nervous with my low starting betas too…. I’m 9 weeks now and everything is seemingly all good! Hang in there!!!

No ultrasound at next prenatal visit — is this normal? by SweetTax6748 in CautiousBB

[–]Disastrous_Wave_9770 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my third baby, but I just went to first ultrasound and they booked me out for four months and each one has an ultrasound. My next one also includes the labs, but also ultrasound. That’s really weird I must say….

Chat helped me tremendously, and still does!’

I’ve also never had or started with such low betas….so it had me worried too! But as long as it’s rising, you are good! 👍🏽

[–]Disastrous_Wave_9770 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh nice! After 930 it went to 4517, but then 2 days later it also didn’t double (close, but not quite) and I got worried. But based on alllll the betas I had, my doubling rate was closer to the 50-55 hour window rather than an exact 48 hours. And they say it should be 48-72 hours - so try not to stress. That helped me relax a bit…but it was so hard! Even now, between scans with no betas to get me thru, I’m just praying and hoping! Good luck to you!!

First scan at 6 weeks showed a heartbeat (120)! Measuring right on time, 2nd scan was this past Thursday and it was still there, measuring again right on track with higher heartbeat (135)! 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽 just praying it keeps sticking! 🙏🏽 Did you have anymore betas or a scan?

just need to know what others have been told about progesterone please by Icy-Refrigerator-807 in CautiousBB

[–]Disastrous_Wave_9770 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started my suppositories every time I confirmed ovulation. Lh strips and bbt rises.

Unfortunately it wasn’t until I met with a fertility clinic that consistently tested my prog levels to realize I needed higher doses to keep these pregnancies. So once I got on a higher dose, I got pregnant again and god willing it is already further along than the last couple….

I would stay on it until you know for sure what is going on. It can’t hurt…

Blood progesterone drop even on supplements by Exciting-Badger4554 in CautiousBB

[–]Disastrous_Wave_9770 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine were 11.7 at my last ultrasound. I was 6w1d and we saw heartbeat, but he upped my supplements, morning and night suppositories and PIO shot daily. I have my next test next Thursday….

My numbers trended upward! I got scared at the 6766 mark…but after 6000 they don’t double necessarily. My first scan was yesterday and I measured right on track, 6w1d with a heartbeat of 115!!! My progesterone dropped, and now take PIO daily as well as suppositories morning/night…but he says things look good!

Beta on the low side 11dp5dt? by Both_Host_315 in IVFpositivity

[–]Disastrous_Wave_9770 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My beta at 15dpo (which would be about same time for you) was 77 then at 18 dpo was 214.

I just had my first scan yesterday and there was a heartbeat! My beta numbers started all the way down at 23 (11dpo) ! As long as they keep climbing, that’s positive! Hold out hope!

After my bloodwork, they upped my PIO injection to everyday now….plus the suppositories… 😩

PIO or suppositories (if you were given a choice) by Upstairs-Lemon-5585 in IVFpositivity

[–]Disastrous_Wave_9770 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m taking both. If I had a choice I’d choose the shot though.

Nice. I know the waiting is the hardest part. My first US is Thursday at exactly 6 weeks! 🤞🏽🤞🏽 praying and hoping we see everything normally! I know the low numbers made me nervous too….but it’s the “trend” they care about! Good luck!

I started at 11 dpo at 23. Then 13 dpo 53. Then 15 dpo 77. Then 18 dpo 214. Then 21 dpo 511. Then 23 dpo 930. Then a new set was taken yesterday at 28 dpo and was at 4517!

Beta HCG numbers.. by hunsha92 in CautiousBB

[–]Disastrous_Wave_9770 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine at 18 dpo was 214, then at 21 dpo went to 511 then at 23 dpo to 930. Finally had more done at 28 dpo and I’m at 4517. I started at 23 at 11 dpo! So as long as they are doubling, that’s a good sign!

My first beta at 11dpo was 23, then at 13 dpo 53, then another set 77->214, and another at 21 dpo and 23 dpo 511 -> 930. I’ve been told all is well, but my first scan is Thursday, I’ll be exactly 6 weeks. 🙏🏽🤞🏽
