We have been TTC for over four years now. The first year was just having fun and trying to see what happens. During that time my DH’s mom was diagnosed with cancer and passed away. I don’t really consider that year part of our TTC journey because we had so much other stuff going on. The second year was spent with a far away RE doing testing. My DH has low morphology so the far away doctor wanted to do a SA four months apart in hopes of seeing improvement. Such a big waste of time – we then found an awesome RE closer to home. During years three and four we have done 10 IUI’s, 1 IVF, and 1 FET. Two of the IUI’s worked. The seventh IUI I miscarried at 10 weeks and the 10th IUI I miscarried at six weeks. IVF resulted in four fabulous grade A embryos. Two were transfered for the IVF and the last two for FET. Both resulted in a BFN. Jan 2011 we got our BFP with IVF#2 but lost our baby Gavin at 18.5 weeks. We took the next 6 months to heal emotionally. In December 2011 we transferred one frozen embryo. It resulted in a BFP! Due in August! I hope you enjoy following my story and don’t be shy! Tell me about yours!
My second beta is 131! Doubling time of 49 hours! This makes me happy but I am still concerned at the low numbers. I will have a third beta on Tuesday! Merry Christmas to everyone! I will celebrate and pray this will be my take home - healthy baby!
A rising number is all you really want to see! (My second beta with Little Bird was 151, so not too much higher than yours) Congratulations, what a wonderful Christmas present!!
Yay on the doubling numbers. They don't do Betas in Finland, so I have no idea what my numbers are. *grin* Well, I could have paid for betas and then I would know, but I wasn't going to do that. Take care and many sticky bean vibes coming your way.
Oh I am so happy for you. I am sure it is next thing to impossible not to worry with everything that you have been through. Hopefully Christmas will help the time pass quick until Tuesday. I will keep you & your family in my prayers!
You're at 11dp5dt.... This is a great number! My RE wants 100 @ 12dp5dt, even with FET. I think you're good to go. Enjoy it! With that said though, I understand your wishes for a higher number. I was there once too and wanted to be WAY above the norm. ;)
My betas were ridiculously low with this pregnancy, but the fact that you have a healthy rise is so much more important. Yay! So happy it rose well! Keeping you in my thoughts.
Merry Xmas! Yay for doubling betas. Do you read "inconceivable journey"? She is on my blog roll. Her FET that resulted in her baby boy started out with very low numbers. She is why I know that hcg levels aren't as high with frozen transfers. Will make you breathe sigh of relief reading her blog :o) xoxo.
