Beta #5 (lr?) Updated with a Q in OP

edited March 2014 in GP Moms
400. I'm pretty much numb. They want me to keep doing all the meds and come in on Saturday. But I'm not dumb. I know what this means. They want my betas to come up enough to do an ultrasound, and I'm pretty sure they'll see nothing. I am heartbroken, exhausted, and absolutely devastated. I really don't know what else to say.

Thanks for all the good thoughts this morning. I wish betas could be measured in good thoughts, prayers, and wishes.





Question: How the eff am I not supposed to feel like a damn science experiment right now? I know they want me to continue everything so that they can diagnose why I am likely to m/c. Is it normal for me to be super pissed that I feel like a science experiment for injecting drugs into me just so they can see the empty sac? WTF. I feel like I don't belong anywhere, too. I'm "pregnant," so I don't want to post my beta woes on GP, but I'm the downer on GPM.

  • oh poppies, this is breaking my heart.
  • @amandaf6383 - I am 99% sure they'll find nothing at u/s. Slow rising betas after this long rarely turn out well. I have to prepare for/accept the worst.

  • I'm not sorry yet. I will continue to hold out hope. I've seen stranger things turn out great around here. So until you have confirmation one way or another, you're still pregnant. I'm keeping everything crossed for you.
