Repeat beta is Friday.

So that’s a positive, right? It is low, but too low to be a false positive. (Sorry for the confusion – with my chemical, my beta was 7, and with my real pregnancy it was 5000, so I’m not totally sure). Anyway, I’ve been clicking refresh all morning, and I am glad you have good results. Good luck with Friday’s beta – I’ll keep my fingers crossed.

Sorry, just looked it up. Yay.

I hope the nurse is right.

Wow! What a whirlwind. But, yes, I have had similar things happen with pee sticks and betas.
So, I say to thee, please back away from the HPTs.
Hold on until Friday and the glorious notion that you, my friend, ARE PREGNANT!

Whee! I can’t even begin to imagine the roller coaster ride of emotions you must be on right now.
Someone told me once (might even have been you) that frosties are often slower to get going. Fair enough since they’ve been in the deep freeze.
Can’t wait for Friday’s beta!

See! That is why I never POS. That is awesome awesome awesome. My beta with Cam, 16 DPO, was a little over 100 (fresh cycle). Looking forward to your next beta and thinking all sorts of good thoughts for you.

Exciting. Hoping your repeat beta goes super.

WOOT!!!! Keeping all things crossed here.

My betas started lower and grew slower with my frozen than my fresh. Keep hope, and try to enjoy what might just be the first day of 9 months of good news. I know, easier said than done, but try.

My beta was 51 on 14DPO with an IUI (not even a FET) and I went on to have a totally healthy PG!

Awesomeness! My beta was 62 from a fresh cycle, so I think you are on the way…keeping my fingers and toes crossed for repeat beta!
Comment by Delenn— November 3, 2010 #
It sounds good, and the nurse seems positive (so quiet yipee over here!).
I’m sorry about the mind games… It’s crazy and I empathize.
Everything is crossed and I will be thinking of you from now til Friday!

I’m so sorry for the mindf*** this all is. It’s one part of IF treatment I do not remember fondly. My first beta with my last pregnancy (single fresh embryo transfer) was lower than that and I have a perfect 6 month old now. I know that’s purely anectdotal, and means nothing until you’re holding your perfect baby in your arms. I think of you often, though I comment rarely. Unlike most people I knew, I found secondary infertility to be far more painful than primary infertility, so I don’t envy you this time at all.

Comment by Cibele— November 3, 2010 #
Yesssss!!!! I’ve also heard that betas are lower with FETs (makes perfect sense to me). Fingers and thumbs crossed for you.

Now…how do we make Friday get here faster?
Comment by Summer— November 3, 2010 #
I’m very quietly and reservedly doing an amazing happy dance over here. I am sending the very best and most hopeful thoughts that you have the BEST possible repeat beta on Friday.
Comment by Brandy— November 3, 2010 #
YES!!!!!!! Sending positive vibes for Friday!!!
Comment by Katie— November 3, 2010 #
I think Mo and Will just went through this too, and the consensus was that FET cycles tend to have lower betas than a fresh. So that sounds great!
Comment by mrs spock— November 3, 2010 #
YEA! I pray that this Friday will bring AWESOME news! You have certainly been on a roller coaster ride!
Comment by Mountain Girl— November 3, 2010 #
