IVF #2 Beta Results #2

It's not looking good. Although the number increased today, it didn't by much. I feel like my clinic is trying to stay positive, but I'm having a hard time feeling the same way. I've shed my share of tears today and I am so disappointed. I was really hoping for a good increase. 

It went from 43 on Wednesday to 63 today. That's a doubling time of 87 hours. Not good. 

I am supposed to continue my meds and go back Monday for another blood draw. Right now I'm looking for some good distractions this weekend. 

I'm so disappointed : (

  10. I was exactly where you are. First beta of 40, second beta of 65. But she is still here :) There is hope, and my daughter is living proof. Hang in there.

  11. It's not ideal, but at least it went up. That is still something to be hopeful for. Give it another couple days and perhaps you will see something amazing!
