Default Beta #1

Good news-bad news...

My beta 14dpFET was 1353

But..I started bleeding today. It is a more than spotting but not a huge amount. The nurse said to stay off my feet until my beta on Wednesday.

So...I am excited but also pretty nervous.

FET girls-What were your betas?

Who else has had bleeding?

Thanks for the good wishes!

Stacie-It was a frozen transfer with 5 day blasts. So I guess that is 14dp5dt. I transferred 3. Is bleeding common with multiples?

Congratulations! My beta both pgs was in the high 200s but it was done at 11dp4dft; so I guess it doesn't really compare (and it was at 547 with DD at 13dpt4dft). Anyway, you have a great beta! With DD, I didn't bleed at all but with the baby (also a from a FET), I did have some minor bleeding that scared me but wasn't an issue. When I had my u/s, the nurse just mentioned that she could see the area that was the source of the bleeding but never elaborated on what may have caused it. Good luck to you!

I had bleeding early on with two of my pregnancies and they are both healthy happy children! I wouldn't worry terribly about the bleeding, but I would stay off my feet as much as possible.

Congrats sweetie!!

Sooz I've had bleeding for the past 3 weeks and had two ultrasound the still showed both babies and heartbeats looking good. So try to get some rest and try not to think about it, I know it's still hard because I started bleeding again last and started freaking out again. But your numbers sound like three are in there.

Sooz,
I agree with the girls. I bet it's multiple bleeding.
I txed three too and hope I get as good a first beta as you.
Question for you: On your 2 previous FET's how many did you tx and what was the grading of the embabies? (If you remember)
Good Luck at your next beta:-)
