BFP (loss mentioned)

[msmerymac]

We did a FET on May 21. On Thursday May 30 (9dp5dt) I got a positive on a digital with FMU. I got a clear-as-day positive on a traditional later than night (after drinking tea and water all day) and my beta on Friday May 31 was 100. I go back Monday for the second draw.

To recap my previous transfers - I’ve had 4, with 2 miscarriages. The first time I only had a beta of 18 at 4 weeks so they were not optimistic. It was consistently about a week behind, and although they detected a heartbeat, it ended up slowing by around 8 weeks and I miscarried naturally about 5-6 days later. The second miscarriage was a complete surprise. We transferred 2 nonconcurrant embryos (no known data from attempted genetic testing) and 1 worked. Beta around 100, looked perfect, ultrasound at 5w4d detected a sac. I had a sudden and very complete miscarriage at 6 weeks exactly.

This time I am with a new doctor. We had a new crop of really good quality embryos. This was the best of 6 that tested normal, so we have that info. I’m cautiously optimistic, but I have every reason to believe I’ll be a mom in February (after 4.5 years of trying that seems so soon!). I’ll breath a lot easier once we see the heartbeat, though.

Got a picture of the sac today, measuring exactly 5w1d! I go back at 6w1d to hopefully see the yolk, fetal pole, and heartbeat (in the colloquial term, I know it's not the real heartbeat yet).

The doctor also said my beta doesn't really matter now because they have the ultrasound evidence that things are moving well. She said, "You'll probably be in the 800s, and we'll put it in your file when the results come back, but honestly if it was low we wouldn't have been able to see what we did."

Still nervous because with my last BFP I was doing just great until 6 weeks. If I can make it to next Friday, the peace of mind from seeing the heartbeat will be VERY reassuring.

6 weeks exactly today, which is the day my last pregnancy went horribly wrong. *knock on wood* no bleeding or anything, so things seem to be going well. Ultrasound will hopefully be positive tomorrow!

Keeping everything crossed for a great ultrasound tomorrow! I hope you get news that puts your mind at ease at least for a little bit. I've been thinking of you a lot this week, especially as I freak out about my (mostly lack of) early pregnancy symptoms. I feel so normal! I don't like it!

seeyalater52, everyone is different! Even though I have SOME symptoms I'm still like, "but are they enough?" Good luck! When do you go back, Monday?

Wednesday is our appointment to try to see the heartbeat. I'll be 6+3 so I'm a little nervous it will be too early to see much, but I'm so anxious that "only" waiting a week and not even longer feels ok too.

They told me 6w1d is the earliest you can potentially see the HB, which is one reason my appt is tomorrow. So I'm sure you'll have a good result!

We saw and heard it at 6 weeks 4 days. My symptoms have been way less than they were with my son, it’s very strange.
