Re: 2nd Beta....

ok good, I feel a bit better now...

They are putting me on estogen too but I was told it was just to maintain my levels, etc. Does this sound normal?

What is the estogen for?

Try to relax and enjoy this time. Pretty soon you won't feel so great.

Re: 2nd Beta....

Two things I have read that might ease your mind...
First they have done studies that show that IVF patients have lower beta #'s then regualr PG's. Something about less time in the body. I looked this up last month and read a lot about it.

Second- I read that it doesnt matter what the number is, they are always more concerned that it doubles....Many people have had low betas and as long as it doubles it signifies a good PG!

And your numbers arent low.

I would be cautious as well, its human nature, BUT I do think that your gonna have a happy healthy 9 months Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

That does make me feel better, I didn't know this info. I actually am waiting for my dr's nurse to call me back to find out more about the estrogen and if its cause for concern. Thanks so much for this info though, it has put me at ease a bit Chat Icon

Re: 2nd Beta....

Are you sure they are not putting you on progesterone? They usually do for IVF. Good luck. Your numbers are good.

Can I meet up with you and you can rub my tummy or I rub yours for good luck? Chat Icon Chat Icon I'll be up next in a few weeksChat Icon I'm beyond getting used to the idea of twins... I'm actually kinda hoping for it... ok, I've officially lost it. Seriously, then I'd have my two and wouldn't have to worry about trying to get preggos again in a few years when I'm even older than I am now.

I agree on the third Beta. After everything we go through it's so hard to relax once we get the news.
