14dp5dt, weird cramping and progression kinda stalled. I guess it’s over…

[ZeroHope]

As title says, today I’m 14dp5dt and I started feeling some period like cramps (until yesterday I had another type of cramps, so I know these are pretty different).

Progression on Easy@Home also looks like it’s not improving much (the last three tests all look the same to me). Yesterday’s beta was 456 so for 13 pt not a great number either.

Something changed today, I don’t know why but I feel like I’ll miscarry soon, as usual.

This will be the fifth time.

Sorry for the nonsense post, I just need to vent a little.

This was my 13th transfer, I’m so tired of IVF.

Hi I just wanted to offer you a kind word, I'm yet to find an ivf clinic to start this process but I've been trying for nearly 5 years and had three pregnancies and 3 losses.

I know it can't compare to what you've been through but I understand the relentless trying, it is soul destroying.

I hope your pregnancy does progress and I'm so sorry to read what your going through.

I feel your despair xx

Hi lovely,

those tests look ok to me, they don’t tend to get a huge amount stronger.

With HCG it’s more about the doubling over 48 hours rather than the actual number.

Do you have a repeat blood test booked? What have your clinic said? Xxx

hey, I’m so sorry to hear that, I’m 21 and I’ve had 6 MC on my 7th pregnancy now and I’m so worried as I’ve been bleeding brown blood it comes and goes all the time, you’ve got this no matter how hard it is and I know it’s hard just know no matter what you have got this, I’m so sorry you are going through this I’m praying that everything goes well just keep praying and have a little faith, since I had my 6th I’ve turned to God And just believing in me and my baby is keeping me sane

I’m sorry and I really do wish you all the best xxx

Hi, Sorry you are dejected and not feeling positive. It's hard to get out of the rut. But totally understand after that much heart ache.

Please have a Google for Beta HCG levels in pregnancy.

I've attached a screenshot I took from a little while ago. Your level at 18 days past ovulation (13 days past 5 day transfer) at 456 are above the median HCG range of 416, so still lots of hope. Your 2nd Beta will be tomorrow if taking 48hrs apart and I hope that gives you a positive answer.

I see what you mean re your urine test colours, but it could be the concentration of your urine, or that for the line to get much darker your hcg levels need to be higher or that the tests won't get much darker anyway.

Hang in there x

hi, please don’t give up hope. Your lines look like mine did with my daughter and all was fine. They look good to me. The HCG is doubling, the number isn’t important. I wish you all the best of luck in the coming days 🍀🍀 I had cramping too and spotting around this time but the little embryo was fine. Please try and keep your spirits up, we’re all rooting for this to be your time xx

Thanks for all the kind comments.

This morning I took another test (15 pt) and I’m not sure if it’s lighter or not, what do you think? Honestly I feel it’s a bit lighter.

Anyway, tomorrow’s beta will be definitive. I know they won’t be higher than my previous number because probably I already started miscarrying. I feel fine but not the same as two days ago, something has definitely changed. I expect to start bleeding soon.

How are you? I hope you had good news with your 2nd Beta test 🙏❤️💐 x

Hi, I’m not out of the woods yet but I’m currently 21 weeks with the pregnancy that started with those tests and so far so good.
