My OB said if/when I do get pregnant again that they'll track my betas from then. But, it's not so reassuring to me because my betas were doing what they should be, despite the ectopic. He was very surprised to figure out it was ectopic at my dating ultrasound since by then typically people have symptoms. He actually said I was the first patient he has personally diagnosed with an ectopic. My hormone levels would have been exactly where they should be since the bean was measuring where it should be with a heartbeat. Ugh. Sorry. Every now and then I just get mad at how it turned out.
I can't even imagine. I'm so sorry. We get mad, too, no need to be sorry about it. It's terribly unfair.

((Hugs)) Rama. FX betas are back to 0 tomorrow. The milestones are really hard. Sometimes easier, sometimes harder than others. It's a sucky situation and I'm sorry you're here
I was away from TCF most of the day yesterday, so I'm a little late with these tags. Just wanted to send hugs to everyone!
So many hugs wannabmama. I know what you mean about "dad mode" and DH was the same way. It made me so happy to know that he will be so excited when we do hopefully have a baby, but so sad that I had to take away from that. It made me feel even more guilty- I know rationally it's not my fault but I can't help but feel bad for taking that away from him. Thinking of you as you move forward with IVF-FX so hard for you!
Rama So sad to see you here...I hope you get the call today that your betas are down to zero. FX for you!
mosdub Exciting that you may be moving on to NTNP next month!
vancitygirl I'm sorry you are having a rough time. It's exciting about your new house, though!
akraus2015 Other posters have given great advice, just wanted to send some hugs your way.
Rama so sorry you're here. This checkin is so great, though. Thanks pinkcat it makes me feel better to be surrounded by ladies who understand the complex emotions around all of this crap situation!
TTC since July 2014. CP March 2015. IVF #1 March 2016, 5R, 3M, 2F with ICSI. Transferred 2 on day 3. CP. Surprise BFP and then CP August 2016 (prep cycle for IVF). IVF #2: zero eggs retrieved IVF #3: 6R, 5M, 5F, 3 (2 8A and 1 11A) transferred, one "B" graded embryo frozen on day 5. BFP (at home 7dp3dt, confirmed 14dp3dt with 1552 beta) and U/S at 5w5d, 2 sacs and 2 yolks!
Update: today's beta came in at 1! It's over, finally.
On one hand I'm a little sad, but on the other just really relieved. Now I can breathe easy and not worry about every pain. Plus, if it gets higher it's a new chance. Hope that happens soon.

Yay! Glad that part is over. All those blood draws My doctors office is so incompetent they had to draw from my hands. So painful
I understand, it's bittersweet. Onwards and upwards, my dear!

I know we had 2 different scenarios but I TOTALLY understand that sadness/relief of a negative hCG result. I'm pretty sure I cried and laughed at the same time. Then sobbed. Then laughed. It's complex. So sorry for your loss but happy that your body has recovered and that you can look forward instead of behind.
