I am 35 years old, living with stage IV Endometriosis, possibly adenomyosis and struggled with infertility for almost 4 years. I also struggled with PPD and now struggle with PMDD. I am a mother to a son that was born at 18 weeks and too precious for this earth; and now a mother to a son born in August 2011. By journaling here, I hope to benefit both for myself and for others that are dealing with this disease and fertility struggles. Thanks for visiting!

Good to bad to more waiting

Beta on Monday was 63. Beta#2 today, 64. The number should have doubled by now. My RE called; I knew then it wasn't good news; the words "chemical pregnancy" were used. She wants me to continue on PIO shots until Friday, just in case. Seriously?!? Has a beta ever risen 1 point in 2 days and become a viable pregnancy?! This I doubt. There may be some chance, but, today the hope died in our hearts! We definitely can't get our hopes up like we did on monday. Now, we wait some more. I'll have beta#3 on Friday.

I've been holding my breath for you - I'll be praying for you guys. As long as there is the smallest hope, don't give up.

I'm sorry that you are facing this, but remember that anything really is possible. During my second m/c I came across an interesting website (www.misdiagnosedmiscarriage.com). It's full of stories of women who were told that they had blighted ovums and early miscarriages and they went on to have healthy pregnancies. Sometimes doctors give up too early. Beta numbers aren't always a solid measuring tool. Hang in there... sending prayers your way.

I'm so sorry you didn't have better news. I know you can't let yourself hope right now, so I'll hold some hope for you.
I agree with everyone else - anything is possible!

Well...that bites. I'm sorry. Yes, I've read of continued BFP's with beta's such as those, but...well, you know. Will still sit tight and wish the best for you!

Erika said...

I hope you have happier news coming your way with Beta #3. Good luck, praying for you!

I know that this isn't the news you were hoping for but maybe you can look at it like...well this cycle kinda worked...maybe it doesn't stick but you got "pregnant".
So maybe you can look at it optimistically like next time the pregnancy will stick.
I dunno... Even after all these years I refuse to be glass half empty and make every attempt to be optimistic.
We'll all get there sometime...
