This morning I was the first person in the lab when they opened at 7 AM.
Still, I had to wait.
The results were audited and sent to my clinic at 7:48AM but the clinic didn’t receive them. The lab resent the results at 11 AM.
Still, I had to wait.
I called back at noon and all the nurses were on lunch.
Still, I had to wait.
I called back after lunch and they couldn’t find my chart. Apparently the doctor took it, never a GOOD sign.
Still, I had to wait.
Finally, the results. Beta of 5.6.
Technically at 12dpo I am clinically pregnant but the threshold is 5.0. My level is really low. They like to see it at 50 at this point.
It’s possible we have a late implanter, but more likely this is a chemical. Or worse, the levels could take off and end in a later miscarriage like last May.
For now I stay on the meds and retest on Thursday.
Still, we wait.
And we pray…
Laughter Through Tears 
fingers crossed for a slow starter. Hugs XX
Thanks Holly. Looks like it works out about 3% of the time. I am ever so cautiously optimistic.
😦 Fingers crossed for you…
Thanks dreams… I’ve been here before and it stinks but that’s all we can do it wait and cross everything. LOL
This wait is so impossible. Prayers to you 🙂
That is a rough place to be. Thinking of you!
Really sorry to hear this. Praying for you.
Thank you Jen.
Oh I am praying that God takes over and performs the supernatural in your womb! I pray that His glory will be shown! xo
Thank you Elisha
low numbers are never easy. thinking of you and hoping the best.
Thank you!
Thinking of you
Wait, wait, wait. I HATE that word! Hang in there! I’m still praying! Still believing!!
Thank you love! Started looking at SIRM tonight as a possible plan B but its so far to go…
I hope that you don’t even need to consider that as an option! IF you do, it’s definitely worth a consult. They will do consults over Skype! I’d stick to the Las Vegas location. Shoot, I could plan someone’s entire trip. We found a house close to the clinic that is beautiful and cheaper than a hotel.
I may make you my personal IVF assistant… but you are right. Too soon. Also considering RMA New Jersey.
I might be biased, but I was TOTALLY impressed with Sher. (Not the first RE I went to either..)He is passionate about what he does and he’s been doing it forever! His rates may appear a little lower but when you really start digging, it’s because he’s not afraid to take on difficult cases even though it may reflect “poorly” on rates to the untrained eye. He’s always researching and thanks to that- we found out about my immunological issues. He thoroughly reviewed my chart and spend a huge bit of time with us on our skype consultation. We had his personal cell phone # from day 1. Check out his blog if you have time! Let me know if you have any questions!
Hanging on to hope for you while you wait. . .
You deserve for this one to work! Hang in there.
More waiting, what a tough spot to be in. I’m pulling for you and sending all the positive vibes in hopes that the little bean is just a late implanter and is busily sticking riight now..
Thanks so much Kristen. You are a great supporter and I hope you are right. I am cramping something awful tonight so this little one is either sticking or leaving. I hope its a clear result one way or the other. I have been in Beta limbo for 4 weeks before and its awful…
Oh god. The wait will be like torture. I am hoping that the number starts to creep. Hugs to you x
Thanks chon… I hope it takes giant leaps. 😉 Beta limbo is the WORST.
Praying praying praying for the number to double and triple quickly..!!
Thanks Sarah- working on looking up how your retrieval went.
Oh no. I’ve been down this road. I also know someone who has and it all worked out. Praying for you and your little baby. ❤
Thanks- lots of stories both ways out there. Beta hell has never been good to me but maybe it just means it’s my time for a miracle
My nerves are up for you. I hate this for anyone.
Definitely crossing my fingers and toes that your numbers keep increasing!! The waiting and unknown is awful.
