[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here. It's both. Those are just not viable beta numbers, I'm sorry. The "what-if" game is torture, but it's best to be realistic and not let yourself have false hope. Better luck next time. [/quote]

If you were me would you just stop meds now?[/quote]

I would, but I’ve had many rounds of IVF and many losses. Your odds of miscarriage are at least 95%. It’s a personal choice if you’re willing to risk that 5% chance. I’ve BTDT and know what it means, but you’re the one that has to be able to sleep at night. Good luck.[/quote]

Thanks. My beta today (16dp5dt) came back at 340, which I was surprised to see. But I still know it’s just SUCH a low number for how far along I would supposedly be. And unfortunately just means I he waiting continues, I guess…

If you don’t mind me asking, when you say my odds of miscarriage are at least 95%, what is that based on? (I’m not challenging you; I actually want to know) [/quote]

Sorry, I don’t have exact cites. It was an off the record conversation with my IVF nurse during my fifth early loss. I always had numbers that were low but technically in the normal range and doubling. None of them made it to 7 weeks. No clinic will tell you to stop meds, but they all know there’s a threshold level a beta has to be at to indicate viability. Below that and it’s just not indicating development that could turn into a viable pregnancy. [/quote]
