Negative Nellies
So I have been really excited because we got a BFP 6 months after our failed IVF attempt. I contacted our fertility clinic after our BFP as I am still a patient in their repeat loss program. I am just super frustrated with their negativity.
My first beta was at 10 DPO - 12:30 PM and was 27. The nurse that I spoke to about the results was a 'Debbie Downer' about my results being only 27, saying that they are low.
Today I got a call with my results of my second Beta at 12 DPO - 1:30 PM and they are 80 - with a doubling time 30.27. Again the nurse was saying they are low.
I think they are counting everything as if individuals only every ovulate on day 14 of their cycle. I am pretty sure I didn't ovulate until day 17 or 19 (my chart is on my page). So I am thinking my numbers are just fine. I am just super frustrated as they are supposed to be the experts - they are a freaken fertility clinic.
I really hate that they are putting out such negative energy. This is my sixth pregnancy and I have one living son, I am fully aware that just because you are pregnant that there is no guarantee, but come on - my doubling time was good, right?
I compared my numbers with those on Betabase.org and they seem in line with my dates.
Sorry, I just needed to rant. Pregnancy is a long journey and I am trying to be peaceful and calm and love the little being in my belly for however long they are here.

Hey sweetie, your numbers are good and rising at a steady rate. As you say you may have ovulated later than 14 days and some women only start with a low hcg so takes a little longer to rise. ( 2-4-8-16-32-64 vs 5-10-20-40-80-160) make sense ?? Try to stay and think positive. I would say congratulations are in order xxx

Hi,
You are right, I usually ovulate on CD17 and am ovulating late this month on CD20. Your numbers are perfectly normal. If I were you I would talk to the manager about how negative your experience has been, no professional should make you stress unless they can sit down and explain in full why they are being negative. Stress can cause a mc so much for "first do no harm".
Good luck to you, force your first scan pic down that nurses throat 
Wishing you and your baby all the best
