In need of prayers and support for Beta blood work on Tuesday 9/2

[eternidad200]

everyone, please, please take a minute out of your time to say a prayer for all of us who are gonna be testing this Tuesday 9/2, wishing us BFP and success this time. Group prayers are known to be quite powerful, and in this time of need I ask you to keep us close to your heart.

[GUESITO]

Yes, Im using the same RE. This will only be my 2nd time. If it doesnt work out I might consider going elsewhere.. Its just way too expensive to switch.. In Florida no insurance covers anything!!!    



As far as as the Failed IVF..... usually when you become pregnant and the HCG numbers are low or drop instead of increasing .... It will usually a biochemical pregnancy meaning the Embryo did not make it. It either didnt attach properly or did not develop. That was my case.... It will show like your pregnant until your numbers drop so low where it becomes negative... That doesnt seem to be your case... Honestly your numbers are not that low.

Hey girls! i'm so sorry to hear this news! it truely breaks my heart : (      ascott: there are people who dont' have "ideal "betas that go on to have healthy full term pregnancies.. one of the most common causes of not doubling betas in early pregnancy esp in people undergoing ferttiliy treatments is the vanishing twin! so i'm praying for you that on friday your beta looks good! you can go on misdiagnosedmiscarriage.com website and there are a ton of success stories of beta's that didn't look great initially! I hope that you'll be one of those successes! : )     Have they done all the mc testing on you and your dh? with a genetics dr?    Good luck to the both of you, keep me updated and your both in my prayers!

[ascott]

Guesito- Do you know why you m/c? what I don't understand is how can we go through this and not know what is going on. Thank you for understanding. I am considering making an appointment with a different RE if this does not work out. Are you using the same Re.

[GUESITO]

My last cycle that ended in a Biochemical pregnancy was on 7/24/08 and Im already starting my new cycle next week when my period starts. I didnt freeze any and have to start all over again.

[GUESITO]

My HCG numbers where at 33 (11) days after transfer) on day 14 was at (11) and at day 17 was at (3) which is Negative. You still have a chance!! I know you do. HCG numbers don't always double. Yours almost did which is good. I hate when dr.s are negative they don't realize the effect on us.They know that you can still have a viable pregnancy. Everything is possible. I totally understand your frustration with god. I ask myself the same thing.  Take it easy I really understnd your situation bt stressing isn't going to help. You have to relax and wait to see what happens. Big Hugs xoxoxox

I am so sorry! I am thinking of you and your family. HUGS and love -

Don't give up hopes yet, I think you still have a big chance, you will be surprise to see how many things can happen and change. I am still thinking about what to do next, it SUCKSSS being myself right now. This was a frozen embryo transfer from which I still have 7 more embies left, I just don't know if I can keep doing this but also I think I need to give it a chance to the rest of the embryos.

Has anyone had numbers that did not double and go on to have healthy pregnancies?

Guesito- Thanks for your words. How high did your numbers get with the chemical pregnancy. I keep hearing my numbers are good for 4 wk 6 days. But not sure what is actually normal. Appreciate all the help. I feel so angry with GOD right now. I know that is horrible fo rme to say, but I am. Why does this keep happening to me. We have been trying for since last June, after 5m/c, one ectopic. Finally I'm pregnant and now this. Please forgive me for my rambling.

eternidad- I am really sorry. Are you going to try again. How soon after the IVF can you do start again. I am just so unsure of everything. Not sure I want to keep doing this to myself.

[GUESITO]

Just because your numbers aren't doubling doesnt mean you don't have a chance...There have been many viable pregnancies with low hcg numbers...Don't give up and try to stay calm.Give it time... Pray!

[GUESITO]

Im very sorry!!!!

That really hurts, I went through it and know exactly what you are feeling.My numbers started going up and then dropping a couple of days after my bfp.(Biochemical pregnancy) Just stay positive and if it doesn't happen try again. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Let's try again!!!  I start next week and are very excited and will try to be positive al the way. xoxoxoxo

[Heather5]

I am so sorry to hear that eternidad.  Also, acsott, I'm sorry about your numbers. You'll both be in my thoughts and prayers...

[ascott]

Today I went in for my 2nd beta since Friday. My starting numbers 289, today a horrible 532. I guess things just aren't working for me either. This is soooo very hard for me. I just don't think I can do this again. My nurse told me I'm still early so I have to come back Friday. But I know how that goes. Just precaution. Wish they would just be honest with me. I have gone through this several times.

[eternidad200]

I got my beta today with negative results, so another no for me, so will see what happens next. Thanks to all of you ladies for your great support and encouraging words.

[Babybaw4]

[Houston79]

Hi!
You know I'll be praying for you and sarbear and scienceteacher!  I hope you all get BFPs and start raising little babes together!

[eternidad200]

what a beautiful prayer THANK YOU!!!!

[ascott]

I pray for eveyone frequently. I also brag about this forum and the ladies I have met here. There are no real people who can understand what WE go through unless you walk through this journey.

Lord, I pray along with all of your children who need more of your blessings than others in the area of fertility. We know Lord, you have made it possible for science to assist us who can not concieve naturally. We know Lord, and some of us are still learning Lord, you have your reason's and plan for all of us. Lord, you stated if we ask in your name it will be done. Many of us have changed our ways, have sacrificed addictions, and most importantly Lord, strangers have come together in prayer for each other. If it is your will Lord you will allow these wonderful ladies to have their dreams come true. You will also help us Lord in becoming more faithful to you. In Jesus name AMEN!

Lord does answer prayers.
