Hello all. Sorry for the lack of personals and a me post...
Coral - I'm in the same boat as you. I did my blood test this morning, and she rang me up and said "it's not quite what we'd like" and then said it was fine - good grief, how inconsistent can you get. 13dpiui I had a beta of 83, and 15dpiui its 214, and she said they would have hoped it would be 240. So it's not too far off in my mind, and she says not to panic but now I need another blood test on Wednesday.
Like you, I fail to see how I can do anything other than worry until then. I was so confident. I've even checked when Mum's holiday is (she works in a school in the uK) so that she could come over and help me when we have a sproglet, and I feel like it's all going to come crashing down around my ears again. I'm devastated despite her 'soothing nursey voice'.
I have an early dinner tonight for my birthday and DH gets back tonight (he's flying right now) so I think I need to have a cool bath and have a blubb and get it out of my system otherwise I shall be a misery guts tonight.
It's a terrible feeling isn't it ? I am so stressed out...
I really do think that your levels are ok though.... a beta result is supopsed to double every 24-48hrs... yours seems to have done that and more! I am not sure why your nurse is worried as you have clearly doubled in 48hrs????
I am at least 200 low on mine which is a real cause for concern...eg
Monday, 2 was at 153
Wednesday, 4 should be at least 306
Friday, 6 should be at least 612 (I was only 415).
You should google info on beta and it will advise about the doubling every 24-48hrs... I think that you will be ok .
I am petrified of the BT on Monday...

Hi Girls,
Just a quick one from me as I'm very tired and crampy. As well as emotional. As expected, AF arrived today and surprise, surprsie, BT was negative. I had an awful time waiting for the BT this morning. A couple was there showing off their baby. Normally I could cope, but not today. I walked in the room with the nurse and burst into tears. She was lovely.
Paula and starbright - girls I'm so sorry. Paula, your post like Meg76's moved me. I hope that you both get the bundle of joy you deserve soon. I'll keep an eye on how you go.
Coral and LM...I'm sorry it's not been plain sailing. Fingers crossed for your results to be sky high.
My clinic told me that they're happy with 80-100, and I'm too contact my FS to make scan appointment. My BT was 86, so I went to my GP and got a BT done, which I'll get the results from late Monday afternoon. After last time's slow hcg, and then fall of hcg, I'm praying for a rapid rise like you girls.
To all the girls who've joined...these girls will be your emotional crutch in your hours of need. I hope all your visit's to this thread short. x

Starbright- Ah crap, another BFN. I totally hear you regarding the baby in the waiting room. I had a similar experience a little while ago when I was waiting to see the FS. I wasn't feeling great because we were all set to start our first cycle but he decided to do a scan to make sure everything was ok. He found a cyst that had grown really quickly that he didn't like the look of and sent me for tests to see if it could be cancerous. So, you can imagine how fabulous I was feeling. While I was waiting a couple came through the door in a delirious haze with the new baby to show the FS. I am usually pretty good at controlling my reactions but I just glared at them. I couldn't believe the insensitivity or how short their memories were. FS was busy so they sat in a packed waiting room oohing and aahing over their baby. This went on for about 10 minutes before one of the nurses came out and obviously realised how inappropriate it was and mercifully ushered them into another room. Obviously you want everyone to have success but there is a time and a place, you know?
airline- thank you for your lovely and kind words, you are such a sweetheart. You are right about the bonds we form in this strange situation, it is quite amazing.
Coral- Oh, sweetie that is horrible news. I never quite get my head around the cruelty of this situation. It just seems so unfair that you could be so on top of the world one minute and crash back down to devastation the next. I cannot imagine how excruciating the next couple of days are going to be. I thought I had it bad having a stats exam on Monday afternoon! (Sorry- that was a very lame attempt at humour...) I will be thinking of you and wishing and praying (I seem to have found God in the last couple of weeks!) and hoping with all my might that all is back on track on Monday. xxx
Melttc- I understand what you mean about having some momentum- that is exactly how I feel. To feel like I was finally getting somewhere and to now stop and wait absolutely sucks. Hopefully by some miracle you have a short cycle and get that last one in before 2009 is out.
Baby2bee- It all sounds really positive at your end. I hope you find a way to get through the next week in a relatively relaxed manner and we get some good news from you next weekend. xx
Terry- Thanks for your kind words- I am feeling better again today- I think I really had to experience my grief so I can work my way through it, but I really don't want to be where I was on Thursday again any time soon. How are you??
LondonMiss- I am refusing to believe that this is going to go wrong for you. If we will it hard enough, we can fix it, right?! And Happy Birthday my darling! What is it, 25?? I bet you can't wait to see that lovely DH. Thinking of you. xx
Sorry about writing War and Peace ladies- just wanted to check in with you all. Hi to anyone I've missed. xx
First up, I want to send out huge hugs to all those girls who have recently had a BFN (Paula, Meg, Starbright, Melttc - sorry if I've missed anyone). My heart goes out to you all in this very difficult time, and I know there is nothing I can say to make it any easier, but just know that we on BB are here for you as a shoulder to cry on.
Paula - you are truly an inspiration to us all with your courage and perseverance in your quest for a baby.I hope with all my heart that the next one will be the one for you.
Also congratulations to those with BFPs (Coral, Airline and LondonMiss).
AFM - we had embryo transfer this morning (FET), and had 2 x day 5 blasties put back. DH and I also DTD when I ovulated, just to give ourselves the best chance of falling pregnant. Did acupuncture before and after transfer, so here's hoping it all works and we get that BFP we've been longing for. At this stage, pregnancy BT is booked for Monday 16th Nov.
Sending out lots of and to everyone out there in the TWW. Fingers crossed for everyone.
? I am so stressed out...
