I had a FET on 3/19 and just received my beta results today. The doctor called and said it was 234. Is this a good number or is it high? I am new to all of this, so any information is appreciated. Thank you.
My FET was on 3/18 and my first beta today was 363! Feeling nervous for Monday but also incredibly surprised and joyful!
Hello, I would appreciate it if you could share your thoughts with me. I am feeling extremely scared and sad. This morning, I did my first morning urine test as I do every day around 2:55 AM. The easy at home and other test strips look better, but I noticed that the line on my First Response Early Result test was slightly lighter than two days ago. Today is 19 days past transfer, and my next ultrasound is scheduled for April 10th, with no more beta tests. Can you please let me know if there is still hope? Thank you.
Does anyone have any thoughts on my beta numbers? They are 8dpt at 82, 10dpt at 115, and 12dpt at 182. I really want this to work.
I had an FET on 3/19 and my beta at 9dp5dt was 43. The clinic mentioned there could be progress or it could result in a chemical pregnancy. Today at 11dpt, my second beta was 71, showing an increase but not a doubling in 48 hours. Has anyone experienced similar numbers that resulted in a successful pregnancy?
The first beta test is scheduled for tomorrow. I had negative results up to day 6, and I haven’t checked my tests since then. The negatives were impacting my mood all day, so I have chosen to avoid checking for now. I have minimal symptoms, leading me to believe that the transfer may have failed. The waiting period is truly the most challenging.
Am I the only one who is holding the test up to the window with bright light shining behind it, and at that moment seeing a faint line that may not be visible in normal light? The stark white background remains blank. I am 4 days past 45-day transfer, by the way.
Today, I received a positive result on a normal boots test at 7dp5dt, after faint lines on cheapies since 5dp5dt. Is this a promising beginning for my first transfer after 4 retrieval rounds, I can’t believe I’m seeing anything at all.
I had my embryo transfer (3-day fresh) on 3/17. Am I worried that the hCG levels are rising too slowly? This is my fourth IVF cycle. 
I am new to this process and have just finished the ER. I thought I was finished with shots, but I now have to do daily shots in my buttocks during the FET for several weeks. If I become pregnant, I will gladly continue with the shots. However, I am unsure how long I will need to do them before knowing. I inquired at the clinic, and the nurse advised me to wait until my follow-up at the end of April. I am wondering how many weeks I should anticipate doing these shots before getting confirmation of pregnancy.
My beta results on 9dp5dt showed 188, and on 13dp5dt it was 588. We are preparing for an ultrasound in two weeks, but I want to confirm if the increase in numbers over three days is sufficient.
I experienced bleeding on 7dpt which was bright red and then shifted to light spotting ranging from light pink to brown. The bleeding was never enough to fill up a pad. My beta levels have been 82 on 8dpt, 115 on 10dpt, 183 on 12dpt, and 327 on 16dpt. I am feeling confused after transferring a PGT-A tested 6ab embryo on 3/15. These past two weeks have been filled with mixed emotions due to the rollercoaster of events. I am currently on 200mg progesterone suppositories and had a stimulated cycle.
My FET was on 3/14 and my HCG levels were increasing exponentially until today, 17dpt at 2751. Everyone was congratulating me and I was excitedly planning for the nursery, but now I’m worried about a possible ectopic pregnancy. Tomorrow I have an ultrasound to check. This is our first transfer and I had a chemical pregnancy on our 3rd IUI. Is there still hope? Has anyone experienced something similar?
I had my first beta today after 12 days past transfer, and it came back at 628 
.
Is this result normal for 6 days past a 5 day embryo transfer? I’m feeling anxious as this is my first positive test ever!
I had my 2nd FET on 3/28 with a d5 embryo. This morning’s test was negative, while last time it was positive. The embryo last time stopped developing at 6.5 weeks. I haven’t experienced any light cramping or spotting yet. Should I start preparing for the possibility that this one didn’t implant?
We did a PGT-A tested FET and are now 31 days past transfer. HCG levels were 1250 at 14 days past transfer, but only 4600 at 31 days past transfer. Our first ultrasound is tomorrow, worried about the fluctuation in levels. Any similar experiences or success stories to share? We have experienced 2 missed miscarriages in the past.
Less than 24 hours until my beta test! I’ve been anxiously waiting since 3/19 and can’t wait to see how things are going. Despite seeing positive progression in my tests since 6dpt, I still have some concerns. The final 24 hours of waiting feel like the longest!
After numerous unsuccessful attempts, we finally received a positive result from an at-home test. Although I am over 40 and using my own eggs, which decreases the odds of success, we transferred the only 4AB embryo we had. The initial HCG blood test showed a level of 2200iu/L, which falls within the appropriate range but is on the lower side. I am experiencing mild cramping and pelvic discomfort that feels like my period is about to start, along with tender breasts as my only symptom. My overseas clinic has not been very communicative and advised me to schedule an early pregnancy scan in two weeks. I am unsure of what to make of these results and would appreciate any advice or insight. This is our first time reaching this stage, and we are cautiously managing our expectations, so please refrain from congratulating us as it may raise our hopes unnecessarily. Thank you for any thoughts and guidance on the HCG level, symptoms, and next steps. Baby dust to you all!
