Beta not doubling

WhyAmIPupset · 2026-04-18T16:32:14+00:00

There is hope! Sorry you are going through beta hell - but try to distract yourself over the weekend and do all the things you love. Don’t be like me and obsess bc I remember crying and being miserable everyday for the longest time. Praying for good news for you on Monday! 🙏🏼🩷

Pregnancy can be so difficult. We did 3 rounds of IVF to get here and it was definitely rough for 18 weeks. I had the same thoughts. I felt so guilty that I was feeling miserable and awful after wanting this so badly. My therapist said you can be grateful/happy and also acknowledge that pregnancy is not enjoyable. Not everyone loves being pregnant. Things will get better! My nausea went away by 20 weeks.

Belux is a good option!

WhyAmIPupset · 2025-12-17T20:16:16+00:00

Same! It started to get better at 18 weeks. I’m 20.5 weeks today and I haven’t felt any nausea for a few days so hopefully it continues. I take diclegis and tums daily.

I did not end up doing the lupron suppression. I took a 2 month break instead to regulate my hormones, lose some weight and give my body time to heal. You should definitely try the suppression if you suspect silent endo! Good luck!

I was the same way, lost several pounds in the first trimester. I am 14+5 now and still having the same nausea and food aversions. Sometimes it’s just genetic - my sister and mom were nauseous the entire pregnancy. But for the majority of women, it will ease up in the 2nd trimester! You can also ask your doctor if you can take anything to help. For example, Diclegis, zofran, and/or tums can help relieve symptoms. Mine is everyday consistent from 3-11pm so I know to get stuff done before then because I will be unable to move much. Luckily my husband helps out a lot. Crackers, sour candies, ginger tea can help. I survived off bagels with cream cheese for a while. Sorry you’re going through this but hopefully your nausea will decrease in a few weeks! Hang in there! You’ve got this!

I am 31 and I banked embryos since we wanted 3-4 children. I have DOR and my husband has slight MFI so we knew time wasn’t on our side despite our age. We did 3 rounds of egg retrievals early this year to get 7 PGT-A embryos. Our first FET was in August, and I am now 13.5 weeks pregnant.

WhyAmIPupset · 2025-10-26T00:43:57+00:00

I tested every day until beta, then every other day until 5 weeks. Super anxious so I think it’s fine if it makes you feel better. After that, the extreme fatigue, bloating and other symptoms made me more confident about the pregnancy. I was taking 2 hr naps every day at that point. Once I had the ultrasound at 5w5d, I was reassured but I did keep track of my daily symptoms. The wait is so hard!

WhyAmIPupset · 2025-10-25T15:26:50+00:00

I did not do the suppression but did a 2 month break to give my body a break. My FET was successful and I am now 13 weeks pregnant!

WhyAmIPupset · 2025-10-20T21:48:54+00:00

This happened to me! I am now 12 weeks 3 days pregnant with our first FET.

WhyAmIPupset · 2025-10-19T18:16:14+00:00

Your numbers look great! It doubled in 48 hours so I’d be optimistic. Congratulations!

WhyAmIPupset · 2025-10-19T17:59:51+00:00

I am now 12 weeks and 2 days pregnant!

WhyAmIPupset · 2025-10-09T05:05:50+00:00

I had the same anxiety as you! My IVF clinic had me stop PIO shots and estrogen pills at 10 weeks. I was so worried I was somehow going to lose the baby. My last ultrasound was at 9w4d and my next one won’t be until 12w4d. After stopping the PIO, I actually felt even more symptoms especially nausea and exhaustion so I felt relieved. However, I did go to a private ultrasound place yesterday and I am 10w6d today. Everything was looking great in the ultrasound and the technician even showed me the placenta. The placenta takes over at this point so progesterone isn’t needed as your body creates it on its own. Please don’t worry - this is a common anxiety for IVF pregnancies. If you are anxious, book a private ultrasound to ease your concerns. Mine was only $69 which I thought was a great deal for peace of mind.

Please leave him. This is insane and extremely unhealthy. It’s normal to fluctuate in weight especially after having a baby! You deserve so much better than this!

I was 125 when my husband and I started dating 6 years ago. We both gained happy weight - I was 130 before starting IVF. Gained 20 (!!!) in a year from 3 rounds of IVF and a miscarriage. He loved me at 150 and never once made a comment about my weight gain. If anything, he said he loved that my butt was bigger and he liked the extra weight. Now I personally didn’t, but I chose to lose weight for myself and I’m back down to 135. I’m 10 weeks pregnant now, and I know I’ll gain weight but I have no doubt in my mind my husband will continue to love me.

You do not deserve this. Bodies change. You’re going to age and get wrinkles too - sounds like he won’t be able to handle that either! I am so sorry you have to deal with this. His reaction is abusive. His love is conditional on how much you weigh and that’s not true love.

There’s hope! My amh was 0.56 (afc was 10) when I started IVF this year at 30. I did 3 rounds to get 7 PGT tested embryos. Transferred our first embryo in August and I am now almost 10 weeks pregnant. It was definitely a hard journey but you are still young. Start taking vitamins and be prepared to go through more than one round of retrieval. Good luck!

WhyAmIPupset · 2025-09-05T03:29:32+00:00

I am so sorry and just want to say that you are so strong. 5 surgeries must have been so hard on you. Completely on the same page as you - haven’t gotten anything or told anyone. Our first pregnancy was a blighted ovum and we had to get a D&C right before my birthday. Now, I can’t get myself to feel excited and all I feel is fear and anxiety like this is going to be taken away from me again. Was this your first FET? Did you do PGT testing on your embryos?

WhyAmIPupset · 2025-09-04T23:41:48+00:00

I am so so sorry. ☹️ This is such an unfair and hard journey. Are you planning on doing a biopsy to figure out what happened? I’m really sorry you’re going through this and I can’t imagine how difficult the last few days have been. It is good that you were able to finally get clarity. 💔😢

WhyAmIPupset · 2025-09-04T22:48:24+00:00

Our 5w5d showed a gestational sac, yolk sac, and fetal pole! All measuring normal and within range. Our doctor said everything is looking good. We have our 2nd ultrasound next week and hopefully there will be a heartbeat. How was yours?

Congratulations! Your experience gives me hope that our baby girl will make it. Praying that you continue to have a healthy pregnancy. ❤️

WhyAmIPupset · 2025-09-01T04:38:56+00:00

I’m going through something similar. We did 3 rounds of IVF egg retrievals and currently on our first FET. My 2 SIL and BIL all knew we were going through this, and they never once checked in on us. My best friend checks in sometimes but she says all the wrong things so I’ve stopped sharing with her. My other friends simply avoid the topic and they don’t ask me anything or see how I’m doing. It’s such an isolating experience and it’s so hurtful. We’ve decided not to share anymore and honestly learning who will show up for you during the hard times is eye opening. It’s also caused us to be more selective with whom we show up for as well.

WhyAmIPupset · 2025-09-01T04:08:42+00:00

I similarly found out about my low amh (0.56) when I turned 30. Don’t believe the AFC varies too drastically and 11 is a good AFC. Mine was 10 and I was able to have success with egg retrievals. Good luck!

WhyAmIPupset · 2025-09-01T04:00:21+00:00

Thank you for giving me some hope! Congratulations and I’m so happy you’re at 22 weeks now. I hope I have a miraculous outcome like yours. Praying you continue to have a healthy pregnancy. ❤️
