My HCG plateaued early on and then had a slow rise and is now doubling. Has anyone experienced something similar and saw success? I am aware it is likely a chemical and possibly ectopic. We did an ultrasound today at 17dp5dt but did not see signs of ectopic so far. However, we also did not see any sign of pregnancy in the uterus (my IVF clinic said my HCG is too low to see even a gestational sac at this point anyway so it’s hard to rule out any possibility). This is my 6th embryo transfer (3 did not implant, 1 was a MC at 8w, and 1 was a chemical).

10dp5dt (15 DPO): 153
12dp5dt (17DPO): 157
15dp5dt (20DPO): 231
17dp5dt (22DPO): 463

My beta HCG levels are super abnormal.

10dp5dt (15 DPO): 153
12dp5dt (17DPO): 157
15dp5dt (20DPO): 231

Does this look like the pattern of an ectopic pregnancy? My RE thinks it is likely a chemical or ectopic

My beta HCG levels are super abnormal.

Has anyone experienced a plateau and then a slight rise and seen success? My RE thinks it is likely a chemical or ectopic and has suggested I stop all meds. It just feels wrong to stop all meds when it’s still going up :(

My beta HCG levels are super abnormal.

Has anyone experienced a plateau and then a slight rise? Is this more likely an ectopic? Any chance it could be a viable pregnancy? My RE has suggested I stop all meds.

I (36F) have had 6 failed IVF embryo transfers (3 did not implant, 1 miscarriage at 8w, 2 chemicals) after trying to get pregnant naturally for a year (never got a positive test). Besides infertility, I don’t have any classic endo symptoms. We’ve also tried IVF protocols with lupron suppression to treat as if I had endo, but those were unsuccessful.

I have heard a lap can sometimes worsen fertility (not that it seems like mine can get much worse) so it makes me a little hesitant. My RE is also against a lap, but I’ve consulted with an endo specialist and he said that although there’s not a lot of clinical evidence excision can help with fertility, anecdotally, he’s seen a lot of infertility patients get pregnant after excision. Has anyone seen success with fertility after a lap, especially with silent endo? How soon after a lap can you try to get pregnant?

I (36F) have had 6 failed embryo transfers (3 did not implant, 1 miscarriage at 8w, 2 chemicals; no living child) after trying naturally for a year (not one single positive pregnancy test). All of my tests have come back normal so I was diagnosed with unexplained infertility. I also started seeing an RI as well but still no success. The only thing that could maybe be factors are that I have Hashimoto’s, I am overweight, and I have slightly elevated inflammatory cytokines / TNF-a. I have consulted an endo specialist and plan on doing a laparoscopy next (no endo symptoms except infertility, but I don’t know what else to try). I have heard that GLP-1 can lower inflammatory markers in addition to the weight loss benefit so I figured maybe I can do it now while I wait for my lap. It would only be for maybe 2 months since you have to be off of it for another 1-2 months before trying to conceive so I don’t know if it’s worth it?

Has anyone tried doing short course GLP-1 before a FET? If so, for how long and how much weight did you lose? How long before transfer day did your RE require you to be off of GLP-1? Has anyone tried GLP-1 while specifically waiting for a lap? Is there any conflict?

Besides infertility, I don’t have any classic endo symptoms but my gut is telling me to get a lap.

This was my 6th embryo transfer via IVF. 3 didn’t implant at all, and I had 1 miscarriage at 8w and 1 chemical before beta. I was so excited that we made it to beta this time. First beta at 10dp5dt (15 DPO) was 153 and sadly, second beta 2 days later today was only 157. I already am expecting either a chemical or (hopefully not) an ectopic. Has anyone ever had a beta plateau this early and end up seeing success?

I am 11dp5dt (16DPO) today. My first beta yesterday was 153, am I am spiraling waiting for my beta tomorrow to see how it progresses. I’m so nervous because my beta is so much lower than my first pregnancy, and I am just coming off another chemical a few months ago. My only symptoms have just been cramping (mainly only the few days after transfer) and sore boobs. My boobs were really sore a few days ago but it hasn’t been that sore the last 2 days. I’m so worried my disappearing symptoms mean I’m having another chemical :( Has anyone experienced symptoms like sore boobs subside / come and go in early pregnancy and still had a successful birth?
