2nd beta results not good.
So I got my second beta results back and again it doesn't look good. It appears that my body has rejected another and it went from 249 to 160. The nurse had the gull to remind me of my age and that I probably won't ever have a child. You figure after 9 miscarriages that I would be pretty used to this and not be disappointed.
I had one on 26 March, then a short cycle of 15 days so I had one on 10 April. Then 23 days later I had my LMP on 2 May. On 20 May I tested and had a very strong positive on a HPT, 21 May I had a blood test and my beta was 249 but on Wednesday I was spotting a little on Mon-Wed and my beta was 160. Since then I have stopped spotting and all my symptoms have increased instead of going away like my other M/Cs. I go back on Tuesday for another beta. I will be shocked but very happy if the levels have increased to 640 or more. That would probably mean I was pregnant with twins and lost one. I would love more than anything to go back to that OB/GYN office and smile at that nurse because she was wrong. She kept telling me I was 2 weeks pregnant because of the numbers. I will definitely keep everyone posted when I do get my results which won't be until next Wednesday.
Hi,
when was your period due? You did get a very early positive if I remember right?
Will be watching and waiting and praying for you.

I had my thyroid levels checked and ultrasound done. They have no idea what happens. This morning I woke up still no bleeding, was out feeding the cow and the smell of the calf milk made me sick. Not normal since it is a sweet vanilla smell. This is unlike any MC I have ever had. Levels are low so I wouldn't think I would be going through this.
So sorry that your beta has not gone up. I always want to have hope until af arrives. Have you had your thyroid checked? Make sure your tsh is around 1. It should always be less than 3, but while ttc lower than 2. Often women who have issues maintaining pregnancy go to term on thyroid meds. Just another area to check.

Thank you, you two for the kind words. The worse thing is that I haven't even started to bleed and for some reasons my symptoms have intensified today rather than go away. I'll be glad in September I move to another state and will be close to a large infertility specialist in Colorado. I'm going to see what happens and see if I can get referred to them. I was hoping it was twins and perhaps there is one good one still there. She told me to go to my general doctor to have the levels monitored back to zero instead of going in to them. I'll sure be glad to move to a better place where there are better doctors.

I've had several losses myself and I understand the frustration and pain you are experiencing right now. I am seeing an RE that specializes in recurrent loss. He has never ever discouraged me from trying to have another and has been very open and honest with me. He has also introduced me to alternative options that will allow me to have another child. They aren't right for everyone, but seeing an RE like mine might be a positive thing for you. Sometimes there are medical issues and things they can do to help.
Whatever you decide, I am so very sorry and am keeping you in my thoughts.
