Actually, now that you mention it, I dont know why they do betas; maybe just for high risk people who have had miscarriages. I'm happy though cause Monday is only 11dpo for me so I wont have to wait longer. Although, I prob won't trust a - result as much as i would one done on 14dpo.
As for taking off, If I had a full-time job, I def. would take the day of the iui and the day after off, as those were the 2 days I was in A LOT of pain/uncomfortable. I work from home though so I make my own schedule...
sg10- Your hubby should still be supporting you through this. He has to realize what a stressful time this is for you. When is the next Beta? Tuesday? Hang in there sweetie!!!!
Anyone else have a five day transfer around the 16th june? Are you feeling any symptoms?I have no sore chest this time and would love one!!!! Test on Monday!!!!!
Bought the tests on line today, not too early- still got 12 days left before checking...
I don't get any beta checking- why is it done and what is it for? I just get, the scan to check for cysts, the scan to check for folicles and then 2 days later the iui treatment. Then the nurse says good luck- let us know if its positive or see you in 2 weeks if its not. (she's a little more tactful than that, but that's what she means!) I don't know who pays and who's on NHS- perhaps that is the difference.
Can I ask who has time off during these treatment cycles? I had to arrange my two scans before work, and rushed to get o work (the hospital is an hour from my work) when I had IUI I had to work until 12.30pm and rush for my 1.30 appointment- I didn't go back to work as it was my non contact time- which I am contractually entitled to- but no paid time off for the appointments. If this cycle doesn't work- I am seriously thinking about going to my doctor to sign me off for few days at least- what do you people think?
Thatz what they said to me too. The beta is going up and its not increasing fast but its pretty good. Hopefully I see something around 1000 during my next visit. I dont knw I dont have much hope. My hubby doesnt even acknowlegde it since its not yet confirmed.
Do not apologize for your feelings!!!!
I'm no expert but, hCG levels are supposed to double every 2-3 days right? well on 6/20 you had 64.10, so 6/22 would have been maybe 130 and 6/24 would have been 260, so today, 6/25, seems like 307 is a good number!!!!
It may not be the norm but it is def. going up the way it should be and I would NOT lose hope if I were you!!!!!
Just hang in there and I'll be praying for you!!!!! It will all be worth it when you have your beautiful healthy baby!!!!!!
I dont know what to think. I am really going crazy... sorry it might be long ....
I am have slight nausea from couple of days. I had severe nausea pbm in the morning. Went to doc office for u/s and bloodwork. On u/s doc was able to see a sac.doc said next week we should be able to see fetal pole. and he also wanted to see hcg. he said it should be aroung 800 - 900 today and if that case come in for u/s next friday. I asked him what if I get less hcg. He said we will wait to see what happens next week and prob based on the beta I would have to come on Tuesday or friday.
In the afternoon I got call from my doc office. So my Beta goes 307. I could not imagine. I was @least praying for 600. But 307???? Well I asked my nurse, if it is really bad but she goes its not that bad. Your betas are increasing. Its Hell. So I have to go on Tue for next u/s and also some more blood work along with other things
They also want to check CBC and something to do with toxemia to test liver and something something which I dont even rem.
I am not even sure why do they want to do these extra tests when my hcg is so low and it not even sure if my pregnancy is viable. If I am going to lose I just want to get done with it not drag and drag everyday. I have some other pbm nothing to do with fertility I had a operation 4 yrs back. even now I go and meet my doc. Initially for 2 yrs I used to go every other day. I am so done with doc office.
Sorry if I am pouring my emotions. Sorry I am so done and fed up.
