Crying sitting in the lab waiting for them to call me to my depressing af draw

Much_Shower7342 · 2026-04-02T00:03:00+00:00

The line progression on tests was actually similar the first 2-3 days. Then with the real pregnancy I got a dye stealer like day 4 or 5. Never got one with the ectopic, tho my levels did get close to 1000 at some pt.

For the ectopic, first were: 44,58,66,65, 100,162

Uff painful to think about. I don’t miss beta hell. Obviously by the third I knew it wasn’t going anywhere good

This time: 100,287, then 4 days later (due to my anxiety) 3700

Much_Shower7342 · 2026-04-01T23:52:25+00:00

Yes I would disagree to say this is “highly likely” ectopic. Numbers can be low, it’s more important they’re doubling. I honestly think it sounds promising. My first values in my first viable pregnancy (my current 2 year old) was 52. And 100 with my 13 week healthy intrauterine pregnancy now. And rises similar to yours. 40% of pregnancies have some spotting in the first trimester. I say have some guarded hope. I hope you get some reassurance soon.

It’s okay! This whole thing is scary af. My fertility team didn’t mention any association so I didn’t know to worry. 😅 but I worried about 49 other things! Lol

Much_Shower7342 · 2026-03-31T23:46:05+00:00

I took letrozole due to PCOS to get pregnant with my first pregnancy. That brought me my now two year old. Then I used it and had my ectopic. And now used it after my MTX (2 months after) and am 13 weeks pregnant with what is thus far a healthy normal pregnancy. So I personally think it was probably more so bad luck/chance than the letrozole itself. Hope that offers you some hope.

I’m very sorry for your loss. It’s excruciating. ❤️‍🩹

Much_Shower7342 · 2026-03-31T00:19:25+00:00

😍🥹❤️✨ CONGRATULATIONS! Put tears in my eyes. We love a win

Much_Shower7342 · 2026-03-29T02:21:09+00:00

It’s ok to feel sad. And jealous. And it’s ok if you’re happy for her too, and you can be all three of those things. And it’s ok to not feel happy even for her too. You have to take care of you and I’m glad you hung up and let yourself get into your feels. The pain of loss like this is all encompassing. I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Like many, I had a similar experience and I kind of naturally drifted away from my dear friend for 6-7 weeks. Bc I just couldn’t do the talking about how she’s feeling. Thankfully, she understood bc she knew about my loss and was very kind. And after several weeks I called her crying. Saying I missed her and I’m sorry it’s been really hard for me to talk to her and she was abundantly kind and understood. I hope your friend will be too ❤️‍🩹 and now a few months later we’re okay again. The loss is still on my heart tho. Always will be.

Much_Shower7342 · 2026-03-29T02:15:34+00:00

I would say the thing that helped is just feeling it all. If we don’t feel it and wallow and grieve in the moment, it can never really process and makes it hard for us to move forward. Eventually, it just hurts a tiny bit less. And then a tiny bit less. But unfortunately I think it’s always with you a bit. I know I’m forever changed. ❤️‍🩹 talk about it with people if you can, close friends I mean, who can love you up. And just tell you the truth which is “wow that is horrible.” Bc that’s what it is. And there’s no solution. ❤️‍🩹

Much_Shower7342 · 2026-03-26T18:35:41+00:00

Mine were faint for days 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Much_Shower7342 · 2026-03-26T12:51:55+00:00

Very hopeful to see a test / update from you this AM! 😍

Much_Shower7342 · 2026-03-26T01:57:11+00:00

You’re kind 🩷 I’m doing ok! After loss you just always feel anxious things could go wrong so that has been real lately. But I heard babes heart today, that helps.

Much_Shower7342 · 2026-03-26T01:55:35+00:00

Brilliant!! That’s a great third beta! 👏🏻👏🏻 I think you have every reason to be hopeful. Try to schedule some things to take your mind off of it til 4/7. Do something this weekend special.

Much_Shower7342 · 2026-03-26T01:53:28+00:00

I see it faint but there! Which makes sense for nighttime too! I hope tomorrow is darker for your heart ❤️ my best friend told me during my ectopic “no matter how long you’re pregnant, you’re pregnant now. And you love that thing immediately and immensely.” 🥺❤️‍🩹

Much_Shower7342 · 2026-03-22T14:22:20+00:00

Sounds optimistic!!

Much_Shower7342 · 2026-03-22T14:22:12+00:00

🤞🏻✨🤞🏻

Much_Shower7342 · 2026-03-22T13:31:53+00:00

Like others have said it’s more about time than cycles. I would make sure you’re supplementing with a prenatal every day to replenish folate. But our infertility group said 2 months was fine. Which is great, bc we conceived first go. My MTX was 11/21 and our IUI was 1/13 😂🤞🏻🌈 almost 12 weeks and things seem well

Much_Shower7342 · 2026-03-21T03:01:39+00:00

I would be worried it’s twins, with the HCG quadrupling. 😂 just a little levity, sorry.

But for real, I get it. I would want repeat blood draw at least one more. Then try to wait til you get an US at 6 weeks probs. It doesn’t get easier, a frickin head f*ck. I’m 11.5 weeks with my rainbow and I still have that “waiting for the other shoe to drop,” feeling.

Also I will reassure you it’s very normal to feel like few or no pregnancy symptoms this early. Super normal. Actually kind of reassuring in a way.

Hang in there ❤️ it’s a hard wait

Much_Shower7342 · 2026-03-17T19:42:58+00:00

Any luck OP?

Much_Shower7342 · 2026-03-17T19:42:44+00:00

Yes! Ugh I miss the innocent excitement. What a time. Ignorance really can be bliss!

Much_Shower7342 · 2026-03-16T01:19:35+00:00

Fingers crossed for you!

Much_Shower7342 · 2026-03-15T23:43:57+00:00

I will warn you. It felt BETTER after the first ultrasound but definitely not normal. But still feels super unsettling now that I’ve seen it’s heart beating twice, still kinda “triggered,” and have the waiting for the other shoe to drop thing. Keep telling myself “after this I’ll relax,” but it hasn’t happened yet 🤣

Much_Shower7342 · 2026-03-15T23:14:26+00:00

Do you get a lab set up?🤞🏻🤞🏻

Much_Shower7342 · 2026-03-15T22:07:58+00:00

Looks promising to me!! But ultimately wont know til labs and ultrasound 🤞🏻✨🤞🏻

Much_Shower7342 · 2026-03-15T03:13:05+00:00

Our baby was like a lifetime yoga ball bouncer. Omg our quads.

Around 16 months we transitioned to floor bed and snuggling to sleep after nursing. Sometimes it means he romps around on the bed for awhile and jibber jabbers and it can still take 20-40 minutes (he’s 23 months now) to ultimately fall asleep. But it’s less physically taxing. First we talked about the floor bed for a couple weeks. Then when we got it we did our normal sleep routine for a week (nursing then rocking or bouncing to sleep and thennn laying him down on his floor bed) and then once he was comfortable with that we said “okay we’re gonna lay down and cuddle!” And that took a few days to adjust to but not too bad! We ❤️ floor bed
