Beta update... 2nd beta... final update :(

[womet]

So I just got the call from my nurse. I am 13dp5dt and my beta was 623! I go back on Friday morning for another blood draw. 

ETA: second beta was 1355. Doubling time was 42 hours. Next up is out u/s on the 27th. 

ETA2: I miscarried last night.

I believe it's 13 days past 5 day transfer (the embryo was 5 days old when transferred or frozen then transferred).

Awesome beta!! Congrats!

I believe it's 13 days past 5 day transfer (the embryo was 5 days old when transferred or frozen then transferred). 

woowoo It's also 18dpo (days past ovulation) equivalent. The day of egg retrieval = day of ovulation = day of conception/fertilization.

For pregnancy dating purposes, if one did a frozen transfer, then day of ovulation/conception would be 5 days prior to the day of transfer.

Of course, try telling that to the OB's office when you're booking an appointment. They only care about LMP. *rolling eyes*

Good luck with your second beta today womet!

I'm a little freaked out today. TMI, but H and I had sex last night and I had some bleeding this morning. It wasn't bright red, so I hope it's just from an angry cervix.

Yep, that's very likely to be it.

I don't think we had sex until like 12 weeks.

[womet]

Thanks pooh8402! I texted with a friend this morning and she said the same thing. So I am feeling a bit better about it. We'll be refraining from sex for the next 7 weeks.

[FishChicks]

It might be from sex, it also might be a SCH. I've seen a few studies that show SCH is more common for infertility patients. Either way, I wouldn't worry. I bled a lot up to week 10 or so, and it had no impact on my pregnancy.

Good luck with your repeat beta!

[womet]

Thanks FishChicks! I went to the bathroom again this morning. Less blood and it's dark, so I think this was from sex.

[luvslattes]

Congratulations womet! This is so exciting!

[compassrose]

Glad it seems like it was just from sex womet. That's scary.

Update in OP

[cherryvalance]

womet, are you on progesterone suppositories? I was scratching my cervix with them. I only mention it in case you refrain from sex and end up spotting again.

[compassrose]

GREAT doubling time!! I'm so happy for you!

Even better... PIO injections. Although I am probably going to have to switch since there is a nationwide PIO shortage. But thanks for letting me know that the progesterone suppositories can result in some spotting too.

Great betas, womet! congratulations!

[loira]

Great update!

Oh my goodness, oh my goodness! So so happy for you. Congrats!
