Low beta and the same line on tests for 6 days. Clutching at straws

So I found out at 6dp5dt that I was pregnant on a frer and got 1-2 weeks on clearblue. The lines made no progression on tests up to 11dp5dt. I had my beta yesterday at 11dp5dt and it was 34.9. I know this isn’t promising but just don’t know who to turn to.

I’ve been through such a rollercoaster of emotions through the 2ww being devastated it hasn’t worked, to being
elated and overjoyed when I found out. Back to panic over lines and now this. To make things worse I told my husband on his birthday I was pregnant and he was so happy. I don’t know how I’m going to get through this. I’m looking for advice for those that have been through it, how do you get over it and when did you try again? Or from those with success stories..

I have to go back tomorrow for another beta. Until then I’m in limbo and can’t even eat I feel so shook up..

That's great @BlueMumma2018. I can totally understand why you're still worried and unfortunately there are never any guarantees BUT... you're only a few days behind really and visualising the yolk sac is a big hurdle to get past. Sending lots of positive vibes.

Thank you all it’s been a great support. It’s so isolating as hardly anyone knows! I’m very anxious about no longer measuring hcg 😵‍💫
I have my next scan Wednesday. Only symptoms are sore boobs and weird cravings. By this time with my daughter I was very sick 🥴 who knows!

Good luck with your scan tomorrow, hope all goes well and is heading in the right direction. You will just be wanting to know now what is going on, I can only imagine how you must be feeling. Xx

Hi everyone. My scan confirmed that there has been no growth since last Thursday. At 7.5 weeks no sign of a foetal pole. Told to stop medication. I feel really sad and wonder what I’ve done to deserve all this but already thinking about trying again. I hate to be yet another unsuccessful story on a forum but I hope it is useful to someone in the same low beta, measuring behind hell. Thank you ladies xxx

Ugh @BlueMumma2018 im so sorry. I’ve been there and it sucks. All the waiting just made it all harder. Take however long you need and just look after yourself and make sure your ok. If it helps when my consultant wrote to me after mine, he said that it wasn’t anything I had or hadn’t done, it was just one of those horrible things that happens.
sending you lots of hugs

So sorry to hear this OP, I also went through this and it was very painful. At our review the consultant said it was most likely due to chromosomal abnormality so we genetically tested next time. I’m yet to know whether that was correct, as haven’t had our viability scan yet, terrified of the same outcome but hopeful that the PGTA testing has helped. Wishing you so much luck going forward. Take time to heal emotionally. If you do go down a freeze all cycle route you can have a break before transferring. We had our egg collection 2 months after the miscarriage but waited 6 months to transfer so that we could feel our best mentally and emotionally. Sending love.

I'm so sorry @BlueMumma2018. I've been there and it's horrible. Even when you try to prepare yourself for the worst, you still have hope and it doesn't make it any easier. There's no words to really make it any less shit. I'm sorry.
