Beta #2

Dr. W called while I was at Whole Paycheck. Not good news, to quote him. My HCG went down to 17. I'm to stop all meds.

I'm sure I could have been pulled over during my drive home for driving under the influence of tears. Not a pretty sight.

Fuck. Game over, again.

Can't even think about next steps right now, just want to curl in a ball and cry.

Oh, no. I'm so very, very sorry. It's all so unfair. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Please let me know if there is anything I can do. *hugs*

Heather said...

Oh Jem I am so sorry. I know there are no words to adequately describe how awful this is. I wish there was something I could say to take some of the pain away. Just know that you are in my thoughts and prayers and that I'm walking this path right beside you.

Take care.

Jem, I'm so sorry. This is so unfair. I am all choked up for you. We are dealing with severe MFIF too and it's just so hard. I'm so sorry.

Oh Jem, I am so sorry. My thoughts are with you!

I send love, strength, peace, and the free flow of tears. Let them out. I just went through this in December, and it's heartbreaking.

That sucks, I'm so sorry.
Forgive me for sharing - i swear I'm not trying one-up you, but I've had a similar experience that I hope you can get something out of. After my 2nd IVF, our first beta came back at 15. They told us that usually numbers that low did not end up in successful pregnancy but we were hopeful. Two days later, my beta had more than doubled to 39, followed by a third that came in at 105. We were excited and an ultrasound was scheduled to see if there was a sac. There wasn't. It was horrible. I walked around for almost 2 weeks thinking I was pregnant and i wasn't. I tell you all of this to tell you that if it was going to end up this way, appreciate that you know early so that you can get off the emotional roller coaster ASAP. I know you're in a lot of pain - you had it in your sights! Right there! A positive beta! And then not. It sucks. And it will take time to get over.
I have no idea if my story is hopeful. We're now 7 weks pregnant after IVF #5. On one hand we're pregnant, yay. On the other it took 5 times which is out of reach for many (also for us had it not been for insurance). Take from it what you can.
I'm so sorry and hope that the pain eases soon.

Jem I'm so sorry. So so so sorry. I can't believe how long this road can be- I just don't know how a person is supposed to be able to handle it. I hope you and Mr. Jem can find some inkling of feeling better soon. I'm so heartbroken for you, Hun :(
