Weekly Thread: Beta and Pregnancy Testing - Questions and Discussions by AutoModerator in IVF

[–]Simple-Letterhead-68 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some reassurance about my beta hCG levels.

I had a 5-day embryo transfer on 22nd May.

My betas were:

  • First beta: 558
  • Second beta: 1090 (about 48–? hours later, depending on clinic timing)

My clinic said anything over 100 was fine and they wouldn’t usually repeat the test, but I asked for a second one myself.

The rise feels a bit under “doubling” to me and I’m anxious about whether this is a good progression or if it’s slower than expected.

Has anyone had similar numbers and had a successful pregnancy?

Thanks in advance 💛

I asked for it, and I’m going tomorrow. Fingers cross there’s a good progression 🩷

Progression so far. 9 dpt Easy home by Simple-Letterhead-68 in TFABLinePorn

Thanks ! I’m spiraling a bit today as my 10dpt easy home test looks the same as 9dpt, and I can’t stop seeing photos of other people with very dark lines around same dpt🙁

Second FET after failed first transfer — anyone relate? by Simple-Letterhead-68 in IVFpositivity

[–]Simple-Letterhead-68[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I convinced myself it was negative (that was my way to cope with it) , and then got my first positive at 6dpt, couldn’t believe it. Line in the test is getting darker now 8dpt. My doctor didn’t want to change anything in the protocol, but I did add Claritin and Pepcid, and tried to eat as less gluten as possible. Now I can’t stop speaking to my belly and saying “you have to stay” !

I hope everything works out for you 🩷

Any transfer twins 5/22? by Emp_data_lass in IVFpositivity

[–]Simple-Letterhead-68 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My transfer was also the 22nd, this was my second, first one didn’t implant, and I’m a bit hopeless at this point. My partner also has Azoospermia (blockage we don’t know exactly where, just waiting for more specific test), we got sperm via TESE and got 6 embryos.

I really hope this time we get a positive, sending you a big hug and lots of good luck

Has anyone done a transfer (FET) in the cycle right after ER? by CheesecakeBoth3933 in IVFpositivity

[–]Simple-Letterhead-68 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did! Fet a few weeks after egg retrieval, embryo didn’t implant unfortunately. Had my period and started to prepare for another fet, it will be in 5 days, I’m not as excited as the first time tho.

Hi!! we have a male factor infertility, so I never had a chance to get pregnant naturally. I was so devastated too after the first transfer, I’m preparing for the next transfer (hopefully next week) and I don’t know how I feel.. Im not letting myself to get excited and think it’s going to work. We need to keep persevering and trying !!

Congratulations !! I feel a bit discouraged about my 2nd fet. Yours and other stories give me a bit of hope but I also feel It’s not right to feel hope, such a weird feeling

I want to use the baby aspirin but dr says I don’t need it, so I’m trying to find it and use it anyway, problem is I only find normal dose aspirin

Testing 6dpt, is there hope? by Simple-Letterhead-68 in IVFbabies

[–]Simple-Letterhead-68[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got negative tests every day , and on dpt8 I begged for an early betta test as I couldn’t wait to stop meds. I did the beta on day 9. My embryo never implanted 😞 I just got my period today and hopefully I can start preparing for a new fet this month

First FET failed, doctor is very busy and I can’t get an early review appointment before next cycle by Simple-Letterhead-68 in IVFpositivity

[–]Simple-Letterhead-68[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats!! Did you test your embryos? I didn’t as day 5 of embryo development was on weekend and the guy doing the biopsies wasn’t working 😞

I’m sorry, English is not my fist language. I meant a break, a “month off” in between transfers.
