I had Embryo transfer on 10/04/09. I went for my first Beta HCG test on 10/7 and the levels were 8.15 and I went today and they are 2.31. Should I be concerned or should I relasx??
Thank you very much but I am a WRECK. I haven't stopped crying since I received the news this afternoon!!!
This is harder that I thought!!!
The waiting is the killer part!! thnx and I will keep everyone informed.

Oh you poor thing. I think they are just checking to make sure that your trigger shot is out of your system (which could also be causing your other symptoms)! 8 dpo is still too early for it to show in your blood and I hope that it worked for you! Good luck and keep us updated!
Well i am 8 days post transfer. I got my 3rd beta today and it was <1. Is there still hope for us? I go again on Friday for another beta. I am having the cramping, nausea, and very, very emotional or as my daughter says a "hormonal wreck".
Maybe they were testing the trigger out. It sounds like it was the trigger they were getting in the blood draws. That means if when you go back for your next one, it should be higher than 2 if you are pregnant and if not it should be 0 (or close to it). When is your next beta?
My RE tests 14 days after retrieval. A beta this early may be deceiving since HCG from your trigger may still be in the system. You should definitely re-test in a week.
IDK they are doing it like every other day and now i am vey discouraged about todays results.
Hmm! That's a good point, Kelly! I didn't even realize it was only 5 days ago! My RE never tests until 10 days past transfer. Maybe it's just too early!
But I'm curious too now...why are they testing so early?

Maybe it is just me but if you had your transfer on 10/4 that was only 5 days ago. Why are they doing a beta test so soon? Normally it is 12-14 days after.
Oh, man...I agree with Helen. I wish I could give you some good news, but unfortunately, it sounds like you had a chemical pregnancy. Anything under 5 (HcG) is usually considered negative. I'm so, so sorry.
