I'm hoping that I'm in that 15 %. Because only 85% of women have betas that double ever 48 hours. If I'm not in that 15%, there are only a few other options... that I see at least
Facts:
1st Beta- 25
2nd Beta-46
3rd Beta-46
Option A:
It's a tubal pregnancy. No best case, worst case, just bad and worse. Bad is that I'll loose the pregnancy, worse is that I might loose a tube along with it.
Option B:
We had a twin pregnancy. This was a 'twin month', and maybe the betas were split, and then one stopped growing.
1st beta: 13 baby a, 12 baby b
2nd beta: 23 baby a, 23 baby b
3rd beta: 46 baby a, baby b 'gone'
My doctor told me to continue all my meds, so I have been, and I didn't drink champagne on my anniversary (though I did enjoy the 'never frozen' halibut, and Trav's duck). I go back in on Tuesday to get my new levels... I'm not sure what else will go on at that appointment.
I hate to be bitter, and I really am not horribly right now (surprisingly), but I would like to know... yes this is a viable pregnancy still, or no, we just need to wait for your body to miscarry. I hate this in between stuff.
And, we are going out of town for Christmas, where the only 'hospital' is what is on the Army Post, which I could go to since I'm a dependent, but who wants to do that....
Merry Freaking Christmas
I'm adopted, he's in the Air Force, and all we really want is family. After 8 miscarriages, and one failed adoption, this blog is a journal through infertility, adoption, and now parenthood, now that Isaac has filled our baby carriage, and it's about to be filled again with a surprise, successful (so far) pregnancy! It's sometimes blunt, sometimes improper, but always real. This is our story.
but it ALMOST doubled -- besides, unless you tested at the EXACT SAME TIME , there is room for variation. and the number didn't go DOWN or anything.

Oh Jenn. My heart goes out to you. I hope with all of my hope that this turns out well. I know the waiting and the limbo is so hard.
ReplyDeleteYou're in my prayers.
J - I'm hoping that you are surviving the waiting time. I'm pulling for you with every ounce of hope that I have.
ReplyDeleteI'm keeping everything crossed for you. I know how difficult the "not knowing" is.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry you are enduring beta hell right now. I am hoping and praying that everything is okay and you get good news. You are in my thoughts.
ReplyDelete:( This is such a hard place to be in (beta hell). I hope it's the vanishing twin option.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you are in beta hell (and for all of your previous losses). Crossing everything for good news.

I'm sorry. I never doubled in 48 hours... I was more a 3 day person. Sometimes 4. I know that isnt comforting but I just wanted to send some love your way. From LFCA...
ReplyDeleteWhat a time for you....as a "former" (hubby is a civilian again) Navy wife, and an infertility and miscarriage survivor I have great sympathy for EVERYTHING you are going through. I wish you a Christmas Miracle.
ReplyDeleteHugs!
I am sorry you are experiencing this and during the holidays of all times. I hope the confusion comes to an end one way or another...preferably a good outcome. Peace to you in this difficult time in any case.
