I have just posted this on our google group too....
In disbelieve, and not in a good way.
Beta is only 21.5, oestrogen 935 and progesterone 12.3 So basically the clinic don't know whether I am pregnant or have some of the HCG injection still left in my system. Progesterone is "very low" in their words so I am now on progesterone vaginal cream 90mg every day. I am pissed that I was not on the pessary from the get go b/c now I am thinking AF could be minutes away. A level this low means shedding may not be far away. And with it any hope I may have had.
No wonder the hpts were showing so faint seen as the sensitivity on the tests were 25.
So now I am hanging in limber not knowing what to think. If it is a pregnancy I hope it is not too late to boost progesterone levels. Or is that stupid to think b/c it may just be left over medication in my system? I really feel totally lost.

ugh. i'm sorry to hear about the beta purgatory you're in. it sucks when the results don't yield an answer, just more hellish waiting. i was in beta hell last time around for about a week and it sucked, so i know what you're feeling. i tried to distract myself with movies and friends, but it's not easy. you'll be in my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteSummer, I'd be so pissed that they didn't think you needed Progesterone.. That would be such bullshit if you lost the pregnancy (if there is one) because of that. Shouldn't your clinic know if the HCG is still left in your system from the boosters? It's not like this is their first rodeo.. What would they like to see the HCG at to confirm pregnancy? I have so many questions and I'm not even you, it just irritates me. What's the plan from here?
ReplyDeleteI'm sooo confused....so how is one to know whether the # is from your shots or from a pg? So a HPT would never be accurate unless you continued to do it for a few days, is that right? I'm so sorry -- to keep you in this limbo is cruel.
ReplyDeleteWhen will they test again? I'm sorry for the low beta and progesterone results. Not knowing sucks.
ReplyDeleteAs if you haven't had to wait enough. Sorry you're having to deal with this. When do you go back?
ReplyDelete12.3 is not VERY low. Anything over 10 is considered normal post ovulation...RE's like >15. So don't let that make you be super worried. Hopefully they're having you come back in 48 hours and I'm going to hope your # is 50+.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the replies. And BBchi you are my yoda!
ReplyDeletePoas again this morning to see if line is lighter or darker. Unfortunately it is hardly visable. It breaks my heart to admit to that but it is true.
Clinic said a level of around 5 would have been the injection for sure, whereas level above 50 would be a definite pregnancy. So at 21.5 I was right in the middle. They want me in on Tue for more b/w however I am going in on Mon. I need to know. Even though hpt confirms it will be a bfn I need to know sooner rather than later. And a day is a lifetime at the moment.
I am so confused though. How will I know if it was meds or a pregnancy that wasn't viable?
Wow. Good luck Monday and we all certainly know how you are feeling. This whole process sucks more than I can ever say. I'll be thinking about you.
ReplyDeleteHcg gone down. Guess I knew that would happen but you still hold onto a glimmer of hope dont you?
ReplyDeleteIts before noon over here but fuck it. My pint glass is coming out to be filled with vodka....
Sorry, Sum...that sucks hardcore! You should invent a drink called "Unicorn Fart"...then drink a ton of them. :P
