Anyone's numbers not double? I only went from a 400 to 577 beta in 41 hours then 2158 five days later. Nurse seemed concerned. No gestational sac at 5 weeks and 1 day. No ectopic found either. Lining is thick. They are waiting for me to bleed. She wanted beta to be at least 3000.

OH no Fefe - any chance it could have been twins and one not made it?? That can sometimes cause a slowing of beta rises (one twin's HCG stops rising)
:pray: for good news.
Never thought of that. I was on L-arginine as prompted by RE (she says it makes multiple eggs).Quote:

Any news today?? :heart:
I have to wait until Friday when I return home for bloodwork and ultrasound. I am spotting slightly today when I wipe occasionally. ☹Quote:

Been there, two times as well. One in feb of last year and one in May of last year. I'm going to give it another go in June. I pray this is your rainbow miracle baby!

I'm so sorry - praying...
The only difference between this spotting is that there are no chunks or dark clots like I normally get when period is about to start or when I miscarried before. Just light brown which is very unusual for me.

So sorry to hear that. It's so tough when you've been trying forever just to fall pregnant. Thanks for your prayers.Quote:

Every time is different - but still hoping that this is still viable.

Thanks! Still light brown spotting during the day and I simply cannot keep my eyes open. Tomorrow is the day.Quote:

Just left. Tech said she saw something that looked like a sac but it was way small at 5.5 weeks. Didn't find anything in tubes at least. My lining decreased from 22.9 down to 18 due to the spotting. Took bloods to see if they went up or down. I praise God that it's not tubal at least. That part is a relief.

Hugs sweetie continued prayers that this is indeed your rainbow!

Yeah, not looking good, but at the same time it's very good news that it's not tubal. :pray: that the limbo ends soon, still not giving up on a miracle.
Beta only came back at just over 5000 today. Was looking for about 8600 for correct math. ☹ Said my lining is now jagged. Said it could be twins, pseudo sac or miscarriage. 3rd scan on Monday with OB.

Twins make absolutely no sense with my low hcg number. And pseudo is still ectopic, right?
Sent from my SM-G925P using Tapatalk
When I looked it up it said false pregnancy, but that wouldn't make any sense

Pseudosac is when it's ectopic but the body develops a sac in the uterus anyway.
I'm sorry. I don't think this is looking good. :(
I agree even if it was twins and one had gone, the one should be having normal rises still.Quote:

They still won't call it. Both sacs measured 5 weeks 2 days on Friday and now only 5 weeks 3 days today.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d8e74eea91.jpg

I'm so sorry Fefe - I hope this resolves, one way or the other, very soon. :heart:
Yesterday's beta came back at 17000. Said sacs look like they're collapsing.

Why is beta still rising? It more than tripled since Friday.

I have no idea, hopefully you will go back and have two little babies growing.
Mine went to 27,000 before it started falling. I got a positive pregnancy test in May started spotting the following week. Kept going back every two days to see my betas go up. Had ultrasounds and they were like look there's your sac you are measuring 4 weeks 5 days. That wasn't possible because it would've made me conceive the day I got a positive on a test. In July they finally confirmed my miscarriage. I held out until September for a dnc but I had to episodes of soaking pads in aug and sept to blacking out that I was over it and needed the dnc done.

Wow!! Heart breaking! Once the heart stopped at 8 weeks for me, I carried for 5 additional weeks. So tough being on the road (7 states) just waiting. The Lord blessed me to actually be home the day I delivered.

RE tech from another group:
Felesha Bell- it appears one sac is much smaller and that twin may not make it. That could account for your not doubling numbers. Not to give you false hope. But when you have twins the numbers are meshed. If one twin starts dropping out the number for the surging twin could be ok but it appears they aren't rising right. And they aren't for 2. But for one they could be. Just hang on and let's see what happens. Today's number may give more of a clue. Your dr isn't saying much bc he sees what's going on and right now he just can't call it bc honestly he doesn't know. Time will make all things clear though . Was this a medicated cycle?
That is a fantastic number. Just hang on here and let time tell. You can't prevent a mc. If you have brown - go to town, red go to bed is our little saying . I am encouraged by that 17000 that more than doubled. Maybe both twin will make it.
Also says she could see something inside sacs which neither of my offices could.

So sorry hope you get answers soon.
Because your body still "thinks" it is pregnant and is keeping things going. Now this may be because there is more going on here and your doc's office, IMO, is doing the right thing being patient (although I know it is like putting you through a meat grinder emotionally) because too often, docs insist immediate D and C and sometimes the pregnancy is actually working out. So while I know this is hard I think they're doing the right thing, being honest that it's not looking good but not insisting on medical management yet. :heart:Quote:

Hang in there :pray: and :heart: coming your way.
