Looking for hope for my Pregnancy
Hello All,
I have come looking for hope and support. DH and I have been ttc for about 6 years. Along the way we have been trough 2 CP, 6 IUIs, and an IVF. We were taking a break from the craziness when I realized I felt PG. I went in for a beta and to my total shock and delight we are PG! But the dreaded BETA HELL began. My betas just aren't rising correctly.
Beta 1 = 170 and progesterone was 15 (without meds)
Beta 2 = 270 4 days later / 2 day change 47.5% and doubling time 85.56 hrs
Beta 3= 690 4 days later/ 2 day change 36.6% and doubling time 106.78 hrs
We saw a sac yesterday. I go back in a week for another ultrasound. I pray my little miracle is ok.
The doctor called my last beta "borderline increase.." Originally he had told me to return for an ultrasound in 2 weeks but after he saw the latest beta he wanted to see me in a week. I am on progesterone supplements as a safety net but my levels looked good from the beginning.
Anyone have a similar situation that turned out ok? I can't give up yet...

I haven't been through that but sending lots of hope your way for you and the baby..hope everything gets better. Keep us psoted
By the way, it's a short and easy read- I am NOT a reader by any means, lol. Praying for you and your family :)
While I haven't been through the same situation, I'd just encourage you not to give up! :) I'd HIGHLY recommend reading 'Supernatural Childbirth', which is all about what God says about pregnancy, and how to stand on His promises to see miracles come to pass. The book is so full of life and hope, and gave me the tools and faith I needed to victoriously get through complications in my pregnancies! Hope it helps :)
