Hcg test follow up

Went back for follow up check today. My hcg has dropped from the thousands range to 100 today after a week. So doctor reckoned I can do a hp test in 2 weeks time to check if my hcg gone down to below 5. If it's faint line, she suggest to wait a week and do a second test and only to come back If it's still positive. 

She saw something on the scan and couldn't tell definitely if it's blood clot or polyp. She didn't think it will affect pregnacy n so it's ok to leave it. 

Meanwhile my man and I decided to check our chromosome n my immunity which will take place after my period. That means my body will take a break from probes n meds. As the blood needs to be sent to CU ( Chinese uni), it has to drawn in the morn before 12pm and on mon - Thursday only. If the day after is public hols, it's not possible either as they need the blood to b as fresh as possible. 

If fortune telling books is to be believed, the same guy (whom my mum is a fan of) said there is no hope of pregnancy for me this year. The same guy who said I will have no hope either last 2 years and predicted accurately I will be moving home this year. Crap.

  2. Hi, I came across your blog when I was doing research on line and I can totally relate to you. I note that your last post was almost a year ago. Have there been any updates since then? I certainly hope for the best for you.

    I, too, am going through fertility struggles now. I just turned 37 and I lived in HK when I was young. I have been living in L.A. the last 25 years, but I visit HK quite regularly. I started my journey a year ago. I did 3 rounds of IUIs (all BFN), found out my left tube is blocked and did one surgery to remove certain polyps in my uterus. I did my egg retrieval last Sept. and my first FET in Dec. Got my BFP last month but was told in 6 weeks that my pregnancy was not viable. Then I had my natural miscarriage at home 2 days ago. It has been a roller coaster ride and the journey has been discouraging thus far. But reading your blog makes me feel I am not alone. Did you do PGD genetic testing with your embryos? I did and I have only 4 genetic normal embryos after PGD testing (3 left now that I lost one). I don't understand why a genetic normal embryo won't work and my RE could not figure out the reason for the miscarriage. I probably would never find out because it happened so early in the 1st trimester. I am also contemplating Chinese acupuncture. I figure I have nothing to lose since I spent so much on the IUIs/IVF already.

    I certainly hope you have better outcome than me . . . Like you, I never thought about having kids growing up. I started to change my mind when my mom passed away and my brothers had twins the same year (conceived through IVF too). They are so adorable and I can slowing see myself as a mom. It's not easy when science deemed as as "old ladies." I don't even know if you are still checking this blog, but I really want to reach out to you after reading your blog. Even though it must be painful for you to write those blogs at the time, it made me feel that I am not going through alone. Thank you for "being there." I wish you the best of luck in your journey as well.
