My first beta at 14dpo was 27, naturally I was worried just as you are. I was told all the same outcomes. At 16dpo it had gone up to 34. In that moment I had told myself that it was over and that it was an ectopic. Mine weren't doubling at all. I stopped doing the blood draws to hopefully save myself the stress. Knowing the beta wouldn't change the outcome for me. Like you said, betas can vary so much. I waited until my scan at 6 weeks. I saw a heartbeat and a healthy Bub in my uterus. I'm now 21 weeks, laying on the couch feeling my little girl kick away. Definitely do not lose hope!
OMG WHAT AN AMAZIG STORY. I totally needed this. My first beta 13 dpo (August 8) is 29. Going for a second one tomorrow, hoping it increased. Your story definitely gave me hope and made me feel better. Congratulations on your baby girl
I just want to encourage you to not give up. This exact same thing happened to me when I was pregnant with my son. My HCG numbers were barely climbing, and I was told the pregnancy wouldn't make it. Well, it did make it, and Josiah was born healthy and strong 8 months later! Just remember, all pregnancies are different, and just because you don't fall into the "normal" range doesn't mean it can't turn out ok. I'll be praying for you, Celeste.
The grace with which you have handled this is amazing. I had two miscarriages in a row and I felt hopeless. Since then I have gone on to have three healthy children. So sorry you're going through this. And also, every pregnancy matters, this baby matters. So people saying "we won't get excited yet" is cruel. Every baby is worth excitement, even if it doesn't last full term. ❤️
Don't lose hope just yet. Your BETA may not be doubling as it should but it still rising. I've read lots of stories about women who has slow rising HCG but had successful pregnancy. Be strong and keep the faith. You're pregnant and it's growing.
Oh Celeste, I'm so sorry!!! My heart aches for you. It really isn't fair!! There are no words. Just know that we are all here for you and in times when you loose hope we keep on hoping and praying for you. You are never alone! One day this will all be over and you'll have a baby in your arms.
Oh sweetie I know how losses and infertility feels it's horrible. With our 6 year old I was 7 weeks and my numbers were rising so slow. At 7 weeks I had numbers only under 400 and that is very low. My doctor said at the time I must of had a mc. I cried and cried all the way to the hospital they did an ultrasound and there was my perfect 7 week old baby. It took us 3 years ttc our 1 year old with pcos endometriosis high prolactin thyroid problems and fibroids. I had 3 early losses but finely after 3 years of crying my self to sleep we had our rainbow baby born only 31.5 weeks and weeks in the nicu and now she is almost walking and very healthy dreams come true. Don't give up hope yet honey. God will bless you with a beautiful baby. I pray your baby continues to grow and you beat the odds. You are in my prayers. Many many blessings to your pregnancy and to you and your husband
I'm also an ER registered nurse for 12 years and have seen so many women with slow rising numbers and go on to have no mc. Sometimes in the er the on the er Doctor will make a women come back 2-3 times to the er to get her bhcg checked I'm in Canada
Keeping you in my prayers! Know that you are helping other with your documentation of your journey, the good and the bad, and what a blessing you are to people whom are going through the same struggles
My heart is heavy for you both. I'm praying for you, it's not over yet try to stay positive. I know it's easier said than done but remember miracles happen everyday!!
Stay strong momma. You've got to show your baby how to do it. Be positive. And enjoy this experience. Dont worry about how long it will last. Stress won't help. Praying that your baby is just being dramatic and suspenseful to make this time more memorable and joyous. I can't wait to see the reaction video when you see your results next. I'll have you in my mind this weekend.
I'm so sorry :( It's premature for the nurse to say it's not ongoing, but I know you're discouraged. I'm right there with you questioning why my pregnancies haven't worked out. It feels like a cruel joke. Big hugs to you
In hindsight, after hearing from other woman sharing their experiences, I've come to realise that perhaps it was premature of the nurse to be so final with the prediction. I guess time will tell.. It does feel like a cruel joke, & just doesn't seem at all fair. Big hugs to you too
You know, it's a little shocking to me how some nurses and doctors are so quick to jump to a pregnancy not being viable if the numbers don't rise exactly the way they want them to. Really disheartening. They don't HAVE to double every 48 hours as long as they go up by 50%. But today's time! You have a beautiful little girl and I'm SO HAPPY for you Celeste ❤️❤️
Aw Celeste and Tim. This is heartbreaking to watch you going through so much pain and so many tears.. Especially is upsetting when you had a situation at work it's like no break at all. The phone call was so worrying. I really hope you won't get all those symptoms mentioned by the nurse. I still wonder how can they say for sure that it can't be an ongoing pregnancy.. The numbers are just the numbers.. Corrie and I are here to support you whatever happens. Love the quote at the end, you both are very beautiful people, I believe you have a wonderful future as parents at the right time. Prayers and hugs, stay strong xxx
Thankfully I haven't had any of the symptoms the nurse mentioned on the phone.. We are trying to remain hopeful for tomorrow. Thank you so much, as usual, for all of your amazing support & beautiful words
This is your first healthy child of many. God is Good. You shall attend their matriculation, graduation, weddings and your grand children's too. In Jesus Mighty name I pray. Amen
Praying for you. It's so hard to stay positive but you ARE pregnant today. Every single day/hour/minute of the pregnancy is worth celebrating. Bucketfuls of baby dust💜🌺
You are pregnant until proven otherwise !! I have done my research too. not all the hcg levels rise the same! do not lose hope! she shouldn't had said what she said.. jezz man what is wrong with people. keep positive. all the best energy in the world to you xoxo
Yeah, after reading so many people's positive experiences with slow rising HCG, the nurse shouldn't have said what she said.. Thanks so much for your encouraging & lovely comment
Wow I don't think that doctor should have said its "definitely not ongoing". That's a very definitive thing to say especially if she's your nurse not your doctor. 97 isn't a horrible number. Women having slow rising HCG all the time and they go on to have healthy pregnancies and you have to think that most women don't even get BETAS done so imagine how many have had slow rising HCG and gone on to deliver? I think as long as you've got HCG, you're pregnant, and that nurse shouldn't be allowed to say otherwise. When I had my chemical I asked the same thing: why allow it to happen just to be taken away? I couldn't even see the magic in the fact that we conceived at all, which I think is the bigger picture. I'm so sorry Celeste, I hope the best for you both
It did seem very definite when the nurse said 'it's safe to say it's not going to be an ongoing pregnancy..' Over the last day I've had many women tell me of their slow rising HCG resulting in healthy pregnancies, so it's hard to know what to think! I guess time will tell.. I'm sorry for your loss- it doesn't seem fair, does it. Thanks so much for your encouraging & kind words
Oh Celeste your tears are just heartbreaking. I am still praying for that miracle because it can still happen, your numbers have increased even though it's not doubled so it's not over yet, and what that nurse said made me so cross. You both deserve the best only and it will happen 🙏 sending you the biggest hugs and love xxx
Praying so hard for you three, the HCG is rising and your not bleeding so that's positive. I know it it difficult to have hope when your hearing results like you are. "where there is great love, there are miracles' ❤❤❤❤
It is hard to remain hopeful when we get those kinds of phone calls, but after hearing so many positive stories from women with slow rising HCG, we're just praying for a miracle. Love that quote.. Thanks so much
It upsets me that you're so sad. I want to tell you my experience. I used Femara to get pregnant and the last cycle I used 7.5mg and it was the cycle before IVF. I also had slow to raise numbers. My first HCG was 22, then 38, and 66. all taken 48 hours after each other. I was told that it could be ectopic pregnancy and that it could be a blighted ovum. I was crushed. I want to have you know that I sit here today 15 weeks pregnant (with 3 previous miscarriages before this one and a D&C last July at 12 weeks) today and baby doing great. I am not telling you this to hurt you or make you upset but I want to tell you this to give you hope. Sometimes it takes 72 hours for the numbers to double in people. I hope and Fingers crossed that everything go well for you and your husband and this is your rainbow baby!! You are in my prayers. xox
Oh Celeste! Being told it's not ongoing like that is just so hard to hear. To then see you hurting so bad is so painful to watch. It really isn't fair and I wish you could get your answers. 4 times in one year is brutal and I just imagine how this feels for you. Since I've only had 2 chemicals and I feel awful you must be feeling so broken. I just pray there is still hope and that a miracle rainbow baby will stay with you. There are stories of some exceptions that have these kind of numbers and go on to have a baby. It's just so difficult without positive encouragement from the phone call. I guess they re preparing you for the worst as I've said before. No one deserves to be a Mum and no one deserves to be a Dad as much as you two. Sending you so much love and prayers for a miracle 🙏🏻✨🌈🦄💕 xx
You're absolutely right- there do seem to be many exceptions to the doubling every 48hrs rule, but it is difficult without the positive encouragement from the phone call.. Hoping for a miracle! Thank you so much for your always sweet words- so touching
Your sadness is palpable and I wish I could wrap you up in a huge hug. What you are going through is simply cruel and your precious heart does not deserve this. Know that we are lifting you and your little baby up in prayer. ❤️
i have heard of many woman who have had slow rising hcg and now have health babies. it wasn't very nice on her part to say "its safe to say this won't be an ongoing pregnancy" its not over until your hcg is a 0. sending lots of positive vibes your way sweetheart. xx
Thank you. A lot of women have been saying the same thing- that the numbers are still rising so it's not necessarily over yet. It was hard to hear the nurse sound so final about the outcome, but after hearing many positive stories about slow rising HCG, we will try to remain hopeful. We'll see what Monday brings I guess. Thanks so much for your positive vibes!
I am so sorry this is happening to you. I've been following your story for a few months now as my husband and I were trying to conceive. I admire your ability to stay positive and find the silver lining. You and your husband will have your miracle baby hopefully sooner than later. My husband always tells me "In Gods time" and that's always been so hard for me to accept. I'll keep you in my prayers! Good luck and lean on each other during this time.
Life should be celebrated no matter how long it's destined to last! And I hope more than anything for you that it lasts a long, long while 😊 this little baby is a blessing!!
I know this video is old but I still cannot believe the way the nurse spoke to you and the attitude she had when relaying information. Stating its definitely not ongoing is an outrageous thing to say. She shouldn't be in this job role if that's how she speaks to people. Wishing you all the best in whatever path you take.
Hi Celeste, I am so sorry. I've been in your shoes so many times before.....watching you cry brought back all of the terrible memories of babies lost.....you're right - it's NOT fair. You've been through enough loss now that you need to understand that Tim is likely in a horrible mental space for a man - wanting to fix something that he alone cannot fix. He may not know how to best support you, & he may not know what you need. From my own experience, my husband gave up after our third loss. When we lost two more babies after that, he had already resigned himself to the idea that we would never carry a baby to term. It was a very dark time in our lives - a time that I wish I could forget, but I am grateful for it if I am able to help others who have suffered loss. Please keep an open dialogue with Tim, and whenever possible, share with him what he CAN do to help; don't shut him out. Loss is hard for the fathers, too. Love you guys!!!!!!!!! I wish I could be here to hold your hand. :'-(
I'm sorry for your losses.. It is such a dark & awful thing to have to go through, for both the man & the woman. We have always valued the importance of communication in our relationship, & as you say, it's not just a difficult time for the woman. We have always been very open in our feelings & supported each other in any way we can when the other needs it. I'm lucky that Tim is very in tune with his sensitive side, so there have never been times I don't feel like I can talk to him, & vice versa. We're in it together, & are always checking up on each other and talking through our emotions. Thanks so much for your lovely words
I can't believe how rude some nurses are, specially with couples struggling to have a baby. I want to be an OB specialized in infertility, I still have 1,5 more years to medschool, but even I know that the first thing you should learn is compassion, even on your worst days. And I didn't even think nurses are authorize to give out information, but it might be different where you live. But the most important is to keep your head up, don't let anyone discourage you
I know... And the nurse that you heard on the phone wasn't even the awful one! Compassion is a vital component of the job.. That is so wonderful- good on you! I'd love to be an OB too, but don't think I could handle the massive responsibility. I have lots of respect for the people who can! Here, the nurses help relay blood test information to the patients, rather than the doctors. Thanks so much for your encouraging words
Don't listen to the nurse. Your numbers are still rising! Every pregnancy in every person is different, and they are just going off the majority. Stay positive, I'm praying for you three. You are still pregnant, and there is still hope. I feel doctors many times say things that yes can be possible, but they assume the worse so they don't give you false hope. But have faith, successful pregnancies have occurred with those numbers. Your strong and healthy, don't forget that
You're right- doctors do tend to assume the worst. We were told in November last year that we weren't likely to conceive naturally after they saw the state of my tubes. After that laparoscopy surgery, & having been given that news, we conceived one month later, & now twice again since. Thank you so much for your lovely & encouraging words! They mean so much
My numbers were just like yours (identical) for the first 2 weeks at my doctors visits. Even at my ultrasound they saw the sac with no baby. They told me I had miscarried early and wanted to go ahead and do a D&C to get the sac out and make sure everything was cleaned out. I told them as long as my numbers were rising and I wasn't bleeding or cramping I wouldn't do a D&C. I didn't feel like I had any signs of miscarriage. I am so thankful I listened to my body. On week 3 at my Dr visit during a vaginal ultrasound you could see a little bitty something in the sac but couldn't see a heartbeart but my numbers had then doubled. At week 5 my numbers tripled. And week 7 I seen a healthy heartbeat on ultrasound. I am praying this is the same case for you!
I can't believe they were wanting to do a D&C when your numbers were still slowly rising! Glad you went with your mummy instinct! Thanks for sharing your experience. Wishing you all the very best for the remainder of your pregnancy!
I'm sorry you didn't get the results you wanted :( I don't think she should have said "I think we can safely say its not ongoing" you have no pain and no bleeding so you're not out until you potentially start bleeding and even then some people bleed during pregnancy! You need that ultrasound to see what's going on! I also just want to say I never had any symptoms in early pregnancy in all 3 of my pregnancies and only one of them ended in a mc, I now have an unruly 2 year old and a 4 week old! You WILL get your take home baby! Lots of sticky baby dust hunny xxx
I had my beta today and I’m 10dpt I was told mine is 106 and it’s in the low side and it should be 150 and over.. I’m crossing my fingers Monday it goes up
My hcg level 2 days ago was 27 . Got a call from my doctor today they are 550 . I wonder whats going on with me lol . I've never had a miscarriage or nun . I go get my hcg checked again on Monday. My ultrasound is on Friday. I will let you guys know if a baby is there or not .
I am so sorry. I was so hoping that third number would be great. I'm thinking of you and still holding out some hope that a miracle will happen and you'll have good news today. Sending lots of love your way.
The lady from the doctors office needs to learn empathy and compassion. She should never have said its not ongoing. It is slow rising but I am praying for your miracle here! My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time Celeste! You are such an amazing person and are so deserving of this baby! I'm looking forward to hearing great news on Monday! Much love momma!!
Celeste, I am so sorry you didn't get the news you were hoping for. I can't imagine all the pain you an Tim have experienced this year. It is not fair. You are in my prayers. Hugs, Jill
I am praying that this is your take home baby, if anyone deserves to be parents it's you guys! I had slow rising numbers with my daughter so I'm hoping this is the same case with you. Sending lots of love and hugs your way ❤️❤️❤️
I'm so sorry Celeste. My heart hurts for you and Tim. I'm praying so hard for a miracle and that this little bean is just having a slow start. Hoping for good news on Monday. My thoughts are with you both.
My heart continues to ache for you, Tim and Celeste. Your resilience is remarkable. I'm not sure I could have the same strength you've shown time after time. I truly believe you will bring home your sweet baby one day. Best wishes.
Oh thank you so much for your kind words.. I don't feel resilient all the time, but trying to remain hopeful following our most recent beta. Just praying the good news keeps coming. Thanks again
I'm so sorry you didn't receive the news you and your husband were hoping for. I'll continue to keep you both in my prayers and hope you get to have your take home baby soon!!!
You are an amazing person Celeste and I am praying that you will get your happy ending soon. My heart is just breaking for you. It's just not fair but you will overcome this. All of this heartbreak will just melt away when you finally hold your baby in your arms. Just keep on going darling and we are all walking with you on this journey and we are all cheering you on and wishing it for you. You are amazing xxxx
We are so looking forward, and we're not alone, to the day all of this heartbreak melts away when we are finally holding our precious baby in our arms. Thank you so much for your beautiful words
So sorry guys, just wanted to reach out and give you a big hug. I am still hoping for some good news and that wee bug was just taking their sweet time to nestle in. Sending lots of love and prayers
I am praying for you and your husband. I do not understand why people who would be wonderful parents, and give a child the world, have to suffer. It does not seem fair at all. I am so sorry you have to go through these hardships. You are such a strong woman! There is always hope no matter how grim it looks. XX
Lots of hugs and love. By monday who knows if your beta number havent already skyrocketed. I know its difficult but try to stay hopeful. If you are feeling okay and without any bleeding thats a good thing.
Nothing I can say will make your hurt go away. I'm just sorry this keeps happening to you. This is one of the hardest things for a woman to go through, but this shows how strong you really are. You have been through a lot but your determination & hope is inspiring. I know it seems like it will never happen, but the way I view it is this is just another speed hump on the road to your destination. These are the stories that one day you will look back on and remember as you sit with your baby safely in your arms. This is your story. Don't ever give up 💕
This breaks my heart! Couples like you both struggle to have children and want one so badly, and theirs teens who get pregnant so easily and either abort or do a terrible job parenting. I'm so sorry you're going through such heart break. Keep that beautiful face up!
I am seriously praying for a miracle on Monday 🙏 My heart is breaking, that nurse wasn't very compassionate! I always thought doubling times were 48-72 hours, maybe you are just on the 72 hour end. Listen to all the ladies with their experiences of healthy babies and slow betas. I am so heartbroken for you though 😢 You and Tim deserve a joyous pregnancy, free from sadness and worry. Any baby, no matter how long or short they are here on earth should be celebrated and loved. Just keeping my fingers crossed for you. I have been thinking about you all week, hoping it all turns out okay.
She wasn't very compassionate, was she?! And she's not even that nurse I dislike! I love everything you have said- it could not be more true! Thank you so so much
Celeste that was so painful to watch... My heart is actually Aching for you guys...its not fair, not at all.... Thank you for being so real and so honest in your videos...i've said it before and I'll say it again this journey is not for the weak of heart... Why we were chosen to take this road I'll never understand but I do know that you are strong loving determined and have learned lessons that some never learn in life... I wish I could make it all go away for you and you would be holding your baby in your arms....it's only a matter of time and you will.... Oh Celeste I am so so sorry.... Thinking of you today my dear and praying that the sun will shine soon🙏🙏🙏
I'm really upset that they gave you such terrible news without knowing what's really going on. they don't know if it's ongoing or not, from what I have learned HCG has to double very 48-72 hrs which is what's happening in your case. they gave up on you way too fast. I'm so sorry you are hurting you so much. I will pray that they are wrong and that this pregnancy is in fact ongoing and results in a baby! please stay strong it's not over yet!
The nurse did make the outcome sound very final, didn't she.. I pray they are wrong also. Thanks so much for your positive & encouraging comment- it means a lot
I'm so sorry to hear your news. Even though it doesnt look good I pray for you that a miracle happens. I was given a 50/50 on Friday for my current pregnancy. I'm 7 weeks today. I've suffered 2 MCs over the past year and I know how agonizing and heart breaking it is. Being stuck in limbo afraid to hope and preparing for the worst. Have you ever had an adrenal stress test done? Sometimes if the adrenal glands are stressed the body rejects pregnancies. I had the test done and I had low DHEA which my specialist said was pre-adrenal fatigue. I'm just praying that for once I'm on the right side of the percentage and the slow rising HCG doesnt mean it's over. Wishing and praying for the best for you too
Continue to hold onto hope. You are still pregnant and HCG levels vary so much in women. I am very disappointed in the way the nurse spoke to you. Unless she has a crystal ball then she can't predict the outcome of your pregnancy. They are going up so don't give up hope yet. I'm sending you such massive hope and love. Hugs to you and Tim.
Yes, after hearing so many positive stories of other women experiencing slow rising HCG, it isn't right for the nurse to have been so definite in her predictions. Thank you so much for your lovely comment
I'm so sorry that you are going through this. We have done 5 full rounds of IVF over the past 1.5 years and then finally we got our BFP last month only for it to end in a miscarriage- this is all just so cruel. My heart goes out to you and Tim, lots of hugs xxx
My heart is breaking for you both. If anyone deserves to be parents it is you and Tim. I'm quite a new subscriber but have gone back and watched all your videos. Please try not to lose hope as hope is all we have. I know how you feel as my 2nd pregnancy was a Missed Miscarriage (the Dr's kept calling it a Missed Abortion which horrified me...as if I wasn't going through enough already!!!) As I said to you on the other video I have since had 3 beautiful children. I have 4 children altogether. Whend I had my Missed Miscarriage like you were had seen the baby and heartbeat at 6 weeks. At 10 weeks I had the tiniest amount of brown spotting and immediately panicked and insisted on a scan as in hindsight my symptoms had almost gone (I get SO sick in pregnancy). It showed the baby had died at 7+3 weeks when I should of been 10 weeks. This happens to others not me was my thought. I had never even thought about miscarriage. I was booked for a D&C. I was offered no support. The Dr's and nurses were awful and really didn't care. To them I was just a statistic. My next pregnancies I was a nervous wreck. I had loads of extra scans (the hospital said I was being ridiculous in how I was acting and 'threatened' to turn me away from the Early Pregnancy Unit if I kept going with every little worry. I was treated awfully. I also had a huge issue when I had scans. I would look away and tell them before they do anything else "is there a heartbeat" only then would I look. It made me physically sick when I had scan through all 3 of my next pregnancies. By the 3rd they basically said you've had 2 babies since your miscarriage I think you can relax now but it was impossible. I don't know if you're into crystals but I got a Moonstone in my last Pregnancy. It supposedly helps with fertility and healthy baby so I took it to all my scans-even into theatre when I had my emergency C Section (my last 3 babies were all born prematurely by Emergency C Section Katie at 34 Weeks 5lb 1/2oz, Harry also 34 Weeks 5lb 3oz but he was really poorly and couldn't breathe on his own and Evie at 32 Weeks just 4lb 1/2oz. Only my first born Jessica was full term). It really helped me. I'd like to make you a little something incorporating a moonstone if there's a way I can post it to you?! Sorry for the essay lol.😁 Sending you much Love and HOPE from the UK. I'm not religious but I'll be Praying for you and asking the Angels to watch over you. Gentle (((Hugs))) Celeste xxxxxx
My heart is hurting for you and Tim. I'm not sure if this helps at all... but my betas never doubled properly with this pregnancy. I don't think the nurse should have told you that it isn't an ongoing pregnancy just yet. If your beta is rising, there is always hope. A friend of mine just had a similar thing happen too and so far, her pregnancy is going just fine too! My IVF nurse told me there is a huge variation in "normal" hcg numbers and all that matters is that it's going up. I'm still hopeful for you. Sending lots & lots of prayers
Tears... 😢the lady who called you seemed very heartless to me. Ugh.... I'm still learning about the beta numbers. They are going up maybe not as much as they say they should but they are increasing. I can't imagine how hard this is. It's one day at a time and be happy in that moment, life is full of so much. Sending all my prayers to you. Please keep us updated on what happens next. It could still be good. Xoxo🙏😘💕
Hi Celeste, new subscriber here! I am really sad about the whole situation. I feel your pain, I miscarried 3 months ago and it was during week 14, which was devastating and horrible to go through physically and mentally. I took a break after that and now we are trying again and hope for the best. Life is not fair, that is what i keep telling as well but I will pray for you. Do not lose hope and don't give up. Sending lots of love!
I'm so sorry. I've suffered losses as well so I know your pain too well. It took my husband and I 10 years to get our little girl. Know you are not alone and the fight is worth fighting. U and ur husband stay in my prayers. Please pray to St. Gerard for comfort; he helped me through many rough times. Try and stay positive and lean on eachother!
My heart really goes out for you. You've been given such an incredibly torturous path to walk and it's all so unfair. I know the nurse was preparing you for the worst but her words were pretty brutal. You really can't lose hope yet though, your beta numbers are still rising and babies don't read the text books! There are so many examples out there where people have gone on to have healthy babies when their numbers haven't doubled and why shouldn't you be one of them? This was your miracle baby so don't give up hope. Also, in the UK we don't have betas as standard, even after ivf, so if you'd not had the beta tests you'd be blissfully unaware that your numbers weren't doubling. Really hoping and praying your miracle bubba proves the medical world wrong! I love all the quotes you include in your videos and the quote in this video was so fitting. You and Tim are in my thoughts. X
You're right- there are many examples of successful pregnancies after slow rising HCG.. We're praying I'll be one of them. It would be nice to be blissfully unaware without the beta's adding to our anxiety! Thanks so much for your kind thoughts & prayers
+Tim and Celeste Ah, thanks for asking. My egg collection was last week where they retrieved 15 eggs and 14 fertilised normally. Waiting to hear tomorrow how many made it over the weekend! We're keeping our fingers and toes crossed and praying too. X
Hi love, I know you have seen this so many times and its just so hard to stay positive, but His numbers are still riseing its not over, dont give up, and dont think of it as that. They say numbers rise slowly for many reason, and sometimes boys rise slower then girls, i didnt know I was pregnant until 4 months and i had a healthy boy. Just stay positive and strong and dont let what anyone says bring you down. I know its hard and you keep hearing it from many people. But dont listen. I had no symptoms at all i actually lost 58 lbs. while in that 4 months, so again, stay positive try not thinking about it as I know it can be hard Its ur body and only u can tell whats going on. Sending prayers and positive vibes!!
I just rewatched this video...it honestly breaks my heart that it’s now 5 years later and you haven’t got your rainbow. Your courage and strength is immeasurable, I know your rainbow is on the way soon, don’t lose hope and don’t give up you WILL have a baby in your arms soon ❤️🌈
Praying for you, I am hurting for you. Stay strong please. it is very hard and there is no answer about the why, how many good egg we have that can result in a baby, you are still very young and not have a low reserve so if this pregnancy doesn't turn to the positive outcome, stay as strong you can be and think of your beautiful embryo waiting for you. send you all my support and prayers for both of you.
![DID BETAS DOUBLE?? Live Beta Results After IVF | Beta HCG #1 & #2 | JAKS Journey [CC]](/img/n.gif)
My first beta at 14dpo was 27, naturally I was worried just as you are. I was told all the same outcomes. At 16dpo it had gone up to 34. In that moment I had told myself that it was over and that it was an ectopic. Mine weren't doubling at all. I stopped doing the blood draws to hopefully save myself the stress. Knowing the beta wouldn't change the outcome for me. Like you said, betas can vary so much. I waited until my scan at 6 weeks. I saw a heartbeat and a healthy Bub in my uterus. I'm now 21 weeks, laying on the couch feeling my little girl kick away. Definitely do not lose hope!
Wow that's an incredible story- thank you so much for sharing!
OMG WHAT AN AMAZIG STORY. I totally needed this. My first beta 13 dpo (August 8) is 29. Going for a second one tomorrow, hoping it increased.
Your story definitely gave me hope and made me feel better.
Congratulations on your baby girl
So glad to know 😍😍😍 my Bhcg is rising slowly
Your comments are really helpful to me. Thanks a lot. I am also going through the same.
Look at god
I just want to encourage you to not give up. This exact same thing happened to me when I was pregnant with my son. My HCG numbers were barely climbing, and I was told the pregnancy wouldn't make it. Well, it did make it, and Josiah was born healthy and strong 8 months later! Just remember, all pregnancies are different, and just because you don't fall into the "normal" range doesn't mean it can't turn out ok. I'll be praying for you, Celeste.
What a wonderful story of hope- thank you so much for sharing, & of course, congratulations on your precious son!
Thanks for encouraging me.
Gives so much hope ❤️
I am actually going through this, and this message give me sooo much hope .Thanks for sharing ❤
The grace with which you have handled this is amazing. I had two miscarriages in a row and I felt hopeless. Since then I have gone on to have three healthy children. So sorry you're going through this. And also, every pregnancy matters, this baby matters. So people saying "we won't get excited yet" is cruel. Every baby is worth excitement, even if it doesn't last full term. ❤️
That's such a sweet thing to say- thank you
I'm glad the number is rising- I'm not giving up hope on you!
Thank you
Don't lose hope just yet. Your BETA may not be doubling as it should but it still rising. I've read lots of stories about women who has slow rising HCG but had successful pregnancy. Be strong and keep the faith. You're pregnant and it's growing.
True- I've heard many positive stories since sharing my third beta result.. Hoping I'll be one of them. Thanks so much
Oh Celeste, I'm so sorry!!! My heart aches for you. It really isn't fair!! There are no words. Just know that we are all here for you and in times when you loose hope we keep on hoping and praying for you. You are never alone! One day this will all be over and you'll have a baby in your arms.
Thank you lovely
Oh sweetie I know how losses and infertility feels it's horrible. With our 6 year old I was 7 weeks and my numbers were rising so slow. At 7 weeks I had numbers only under 400 and that is very low. My doctor said at the time I must of had a mc. I cried and cried all the way to the hospital they did an ultrasound and there was my perfect 7 week old baby. It took us 3 years ttc our 1 year old with pcos endometriosis high prolactin thyroid problems and fibroids. I had 3 early losses but finely after 3 years of crying my self to sleep we had our rainbow baby born only 31.5 weeks and weeks in the nicu and now she is almost walking and very healthy dreams come true. Don't give up hope yet honey. God will bless you with a beautiful baby. I pray your baby continues to grow and you beat the odds. You are in my prayers. Many many blessings to your pregnancy and to you and your husband
I'm also an ER registered nurse for 12 years and have seen so many women with slow rising numbers and go on to have no mc. Sometimes in the er the on the er Doctor will make a women come back 2-3 times to the er to get her bhcg checked I'm in Canada
Thank you so much for sharing your story- you've been through so much. Thanks also for giving me hope & for your lovely words ❤️
Don't loose hope! Your numbers are rising just slowly!! Praying for good results Monday!!
We are too. Thank you so much
Celeste, my heart is aching for you. Just know that you are not alone. Prayers are with you.
Thank you
I'm so sorry... I will definitely still be keeping you and Tim in my thoughts. I'm SO hoping this is your miracle baby and Monday brings better news!
Thank you so much. We are definitely praying for a miracle!
Keeping you in my prayers! Know that you are helping other with your documentation of your journey, the good and the bad, and what a blessing you are to people whom are going through the same struggles
I hope I'm able to help others in this process.. That was one of the main reasons for starting this channel. Thanks so much for your prayers
My heart is heavy for you both. I'm praying for you, it's not over yet try to stay positive. I know it's easier said than done but remember miracles happen everyday!!
Thank you, we are trying to remain hopeful
Stay strong momma. You've got to show your baby how to do it. Be positive. And enjoy this experience. Dont worry about how long it will last. Stress won't help. Praying that your baby is just being dramatic and suspenseful to make this time more memorable and joyous. I can't wait to see the reaction video when you see your results next. I'll have you in my mind this weekend.
Thank you so very much
I'm so sorry :( It's premature for the nurse to say it's not ongoing, but I know you're discouraged. I'm right there with you questioning why my pregnancies haven't worked out. It feels like a cruel joke. Big hugs to you
In hindsight, after hearing from other woman sharing their experiences, I've come to realise that perhaps it was premature of the nurse to be so final with the prediction. I guess time will tell.. It does feel like a cruel joke, & just doesn't seem at all fair. Big hugs to you too
You know, it's a little shocking to me how some nurses and doctors are so quick to jump to a pregnancy not being viable if the numbers don't rise exactly the way they want them to. Really disheartening. They don't HAVE to double every 48 hours as long as they go up by 50%. But today's time! You have a beautiful little girl and I'm SO HAPPY for you Celeste ❤️❤️
Celeste, I am so sorry to hear these news. But there's still hope, so hold on to it. You and Tim are in our thoughts and prayers always!
Keeping my fingers crossed for you guys! We're all here for you!
Thank you so much
Aw Celeste and Tim. This is heartbreaking to watch you going through so much pain and so many tears.. Especially is upsetting when you had a situation at work it's like no break at all. The phone call was so worrying. I really hope you won't get all those symptoms mentioned by the nurse. I still wonder how can they say for sure that it can't be an ongoing pregnancy.. The numbers are just the numbers.. Corrie and I are here to support you whatever happens. Love the quote at the end, you both are very beautiful people, I believe you have a wonderful future as parents at the right time. Prayers and hugs, stay strong xxx
Thankfully I haven't had any of the symptoms the nurse mentioned on the phone.. We are trying to remain hopeful for tomorrow. Thank you so much, as usual, for all of your amazing support & beautiful words
This is your first healthy child of many. God is Good. You shall attend their matriculation, graduation, weddings and your grand children's too. In Jesus Mighty name I pray. Amen
I'm so sorry you didn't get the results you were hoping for. I'm still going to keep my fingers crossed for a little miracle.
Thank you so much
Praying for you. It's so hard to stay positive but you ARE pregnant today. Every single day/hour/minute of the pregnancy is worth celebrating. Bucketfuls of baby dust💜🌺
I couldn't agree more. Thank you so much
You are pregnant until proven otherwise !! I have done my research too. not all the hcg levels rise the same! do not lose hope! she shouldn't had said what she said.. jezz man what is wrong with people. keep positive. all the best energy in the world to you xoxo
Yeah, after reading so many people's positive experiences with slow rising HCG, the nurse shouldn't have said what she said.. Thanks so much for your encouraging & lovely comment
Wow I don't think that doctor should have said its "definitely not ongoing". That's a very definitive thing to say especially if she's your nurse not your doctor. 97 isn't a horrible number. Women having slow rising HCG all the time and they go on to have healthy pregnancies and you have to think that most women don't even get BETAS done so imagine how many have had slow rising HCG and gone on to deliver? I think as long as you've got HCG, you're pregnant, and that nurse shouldn't be allowed to say otherwise. When I had my chemical I asked the same thing: why allow it to happen just to be taken away? I couldn't even see the magic in the fact that we conceived at all, which I think is the bigger picture. I'm so sorry Celeste, I hope the best for you both
It did seem very definite when the nurse said 'it's safe to say it's not going to be an ongoing pregnancy..' Over the last day I've had many women tell me of their slow rising HCG resulting in healthy pregnancies, so it's hard to know what to think! I guess time will tell.. I'm sorry for your loss- it doesn't seem fair, does it. Thanks so much for your encouraging & kind words
Oh Celeste your tears are just heartbreaking. I am still praying for that miracle because it can still happen, your numbers have increased even though it's not doubled so it's not over yet, and what that nurse said made me so cross. You both deserve the best only and it will happen 🙏 sending you the biggest hugs and love xxx
Thank you so much
Praying so hard for you three, the HCG is rising and your not bleeding so that's positive. I know it it difficult to have hope when your hearing results like you are.
"where there is great love, there are miracles' ❤❤❤❤
It is hard to remain hopeful when we get those kinds of phone calls, but after hearing so many positive stories from women with slow rising HCG, we're just praying for a miracle. Love that quote.. Thanks so much
It upsets me that you're so sad. I want to tell you my experience. I used Femara to get pregnant and the last cycle I used 7.5mg and it was the cycle before IVF. I also had slow to raise numbers. My first HCG was 22, then 38, and 66. all taken 48 hours after each other. I was told that it could be ectopic pregnancy and that it could be a blighted ovum. I was crushed. I want to have you know that I sit here today 15 weeks pregnant (with 3 previous miscarriages before this one and a D&C last July at 12 weeks) today and baby doing great. I am not telling you this to hurt you or make you upset but I want to tell you this to give you hope. Sometimes it takes 72 hours for the numbers to double in people. I hope and Fingers crossed that everything go well for you and your husband and this is your rainbow baby!! You are in my prayers. xox
Thanks so much for your encouragement & for sharing your experience! And a big congratulations!
I just subscribed to your channel , haven't watched many videos yet, but keep your Faith strong ! Miracles do happen each & every day !
Ariel mott Thank you for your lovely words of encouragement! ❤
Oh Celeste! Being told it's not ongoing like that is just so hard to hear. To then see you hurting so bad is so painful to watch. It really isn't fair and I wish you could get your answers. 4 times in one year is brutal and I just imagine how this feels for you. Since I've only had 2 chemicals and I feel awful you must be feeling so broken. I just pray there is still hope and that a miracle rainbow baby will stay with you. There are stories of some exceptions that have these kind of numbers and go on to have a baby. It's just so difficult without positive encouragement from the phone call. I guess they re preparing you for the worst as I've said before. No one deserves to be a Mum and no one deserves to be a Dad as much as you two. Sending you so much love and prayers for a miracle 🙏🏻✨🌈🦄💕 xx
You're absolutely right- there do seem to be many exceptions to the doubling every 48hrs rule, but it is difficult without the positive encouragement from the phone call.. Hoping for a miracle! Thank you so much for your always sweet words- so touching
oh hun I'm so sorry, I've got my fingers crossed you get your rainbow baby, all the best xx
Thank you so much
Your sadness is palpable and I wish I could wrap you up in a huge hug. What you are going through is simply cruel and your precious heart does not deserve this. Know that we are lifting you and your little baby up in prayer. ❤️
Aw thank you so very much for your lovely words & prayers
i have heard of many woman who have had slow rising hcg and now have health babies. it wasn't very nice on her part to say "its safe to say this won't be an ongoing pregnancy" its not over until your hcg is a 0. sending lots of positive vibes your way sweetheart. xx
Thank you. A lot of women have been saying the same thing- that the numbers are still rising so it's not necessarily over yet. It was hard to hear the nurse sound so final about the outcome, but after hearing many positive stories about slow rising HCG, we will try to remain hopeful. We'll see what Monday brings I guess. Thanks so much for your positive vibes!
I am so sorry this is happening to you. I've been following your story for a few months now as my husband and I were trying to conceive. I admire your ability to stay positive and find the silver lining. You and your husband will have your miracle baby hopefully sooner than later. My husband always tells me "In Gods time" and that's always been so hard for me to accept. I'll keep you in my prayers! Good luck and lean on each other during this time.
Thank you so much.. Keeping you in our prayers too
Life should be celebrated no matter how long it's destined to last! And I hope more than anything for you that it lasts a long, long while 😊 this little baby is a blessing!!
Currently bawling my eyes out!!! stay strong Celeste......more prayers coming your way sweetie!!! its not over yet💕💞 much love and hugs.....
Aw thanks so much for your prayers & love- it means so much
I know this video is old but I still cannot believe the way the nurse spoke to you and the attitude she had when relaying information. Stating its definitely not ongoing is an outrageous thing to say. She shouldn't be in this job role if that's how she speaks to people. Wishing you all the best in whatever path you take.
So sorry to hear, take some time to grieve and look after yourself. You both have been through so much. Sending lots of love and light x
Thank you so much
Hi Celeste, I am so sorry. I've been in your shoes so many times before.....watching you cry brought back all of the terrible memories of babies lost.....you're right - it's NOT fair. You've been through enough loss now that you need to understand that Tim is likely in a horrible mental space for a man - wanting to fix something that he alone cannot fix. He may not know how to best support you, & he may not know what you need. From my own experience, my husband gave up after our third loss. When we lost two more babies after that, he had already resigned himself to the idea that we would never carry a baby to term. It was a very dark time in our lives - a time that I wish I could forget, but I am grateful for it if I am able to help others who have suffered loss. Please keep an open dialogue with Tim, and whenever possible, share with him what he CAN do to help; don't shut him out. Loss is hard for the fathers, too. Love you guys!!!!!!!!! I wish I could be here to hold your hand. :'-(
I'm sorry for your losses.. It is such a dark & awful thing to have to go through, for both the man & the woman. We have always valued the importance of communication in our relationship, & as you say, it's not just a difficult time for the woman. We have always been very open in our feelings & supported each other in any way we can when the other needs it. I'm lucky that Tim is very in tune with his sensitive side, so there have never been times I don't feel like I can talk to him, & vice versa. We're in it together, & are always checking up on each other and talking through our emotions. Thanks so much for your lovely words
I can't believe how rude some nurses are, specially with couples struggling to have a baby. I want to be an OB specialized in infertility, I still have 1,5 more years to medschool, but even I know that the first thing you should learn is compassion, even on your worst days. And I didn't even think nurses are authorize to give out information, but it might be different where you live. But the most important is to keep your head up, don't let anyone discourage you
I know... And the nurse that you heard on the phone wasn't even the awful one! Compassion is a vital component of the job.. That is so wonderful- good on you! I'd love to be an OB too, but don't think I could handle the massive responsibility. I have lots of respect for the people who can! Here, the nurses help relay blood test information to the patients, rather than the doctors. Thanks so much for your encouraging words
Don't listen to the nurse. Your numbers are still rising! Every pregnancy in every person is different, and they are just going off the majority. Stay positive, I'm praying for you three. You are still pregnant, and there is still hope. I feel doctors many times say things that yes can be possible, but they assume the worse so they don't give you false hope. But have faith, successful pregnancies have occurred with those numbers. Your strong and healthy, don't forget that
You're right- doctors do tend to assume the worst. We were told in November last year that we weren't likely to conceive naturally after they saw the state of my tubes. After that laparoscopy surgery, & having been given that news, we conceived one month later, & now twice again since. Thank you so much for your lovely & encouraging words! They mean so much
My numbers were just like yours (identical) for the first 2 weeks at my doctors visits. Even at my ultrasound they saw the sac with no baby. They told me I had miscarried early and wanted to go ahead and do a D&C to get the sac out and make sure everything was cleaned out. I told them as long as my numbers were rising and I wasn't bleeding or cramping I wouldn't do a D&C. I didn't feel like I had any signs of miscarriage. I am so thankful I listened to my body. On week 3 at my Dr visit during a vaginal ultrasound you could see a little bitty something in the sac but couldn't see a heartbeart but my numbers had then doubled. At week 5 my numbers tripled. And week 7 I seen a healthy heartbeat on ultrasound. I am praying this is the same case for you!
I can't believe they were wanting to do a D&C when your numbers were still slowly rising! Glad you went with your mummy instinct! Thanks for sharing your experience. Wishing you all the very best for the remainder of your pregnancy!
I found out I'm pregnant 3 days ago, I've been bleeding on and off two weeks my levels are 16 rn.
baby is just preparing himself to bloom!!dont cry you make me cry every time :(
I hope you're right ❤️
I'm sorry you didn't get the results you wanted :( I don't think she should have said "I think we can safely say its not ongoing" you have no pain and no bleeding so you're not out until you potentially start bleeding and even then some people bleed during pregnancy! You need that ultrasound to see what's going on! I also just want to say I never had any symptoms in early pregnancy in all 3 of my pregnancies and only one of them ended in a mc, I now have an unruly 2 year old and a 4 week old! You WILL get your take home baby! Lots of sticky baby dust hunny xxx
I had my beta today and I’m 10dpt I was told mine is 106 and it’s in the low side and it should be 150 and over.. I’m crossing my fingers Monday it goes up
My hcg level 2 days ago was 27 . Got a call from my doctor today they are 550 . I wonder whats going on with me lol . I've never had a miscarriage or nun . I go get my hcg checked again on Monday. My ultrasound is on Friday. I will let you guys know if a baby is there or not .
I am so sorry. I was so hoping that third number would be great. I'm thinking of you and still holding out some hope that a miracle will happen and you'll have good news today. Sending lots of love your way.
The lady from the doctors office needs to learn empathy and compassion. She should never have said its not ongoing. It is slow rising but I am praying for your miracle here! My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time Celeste! You are such an amazing person and are so deserving of this baby! I'm looking forward to hearing great news on Monday! Much love momma!!
She does, doesn't she! Thanks so much for your kind words
Celeste, I am so sorry you didn't get the news you were hoping for. I can't imagine all the pain you an Tim have experienced this year. It is not fair. You are in my prayers. Hugs, Jill
Thank you so much, Jill
Oh hun, I'm so sorry. I still have hope for you whether it be this or the next. This breaks my heart 😣. I wish you all the love darling ❤
Thank you so much
I am praying that this is your take home baby, if anyone deserves to be parents it's you guys! I had slow rising numbers with my daughter so I'm hoping this is the same case with you. Sending lots of love and hugs your way ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for your kind words. Fingers crossed this is the same case with me..
I'm so sorry Celeste. My heart hurts for you and Tim. I'm praying so hard for a miracle and that this little bean is just having a slow start. Hoping for good news on Monday. My thoughts are with you both.
Thank you so much for your kind words
I'm so sorry it wasn't the news you were hoping to hear. I hope things go well for you and you have a healthy baby in the near future. ❤
Thank you so very much
stay positive . ♡ & keep praying be specific with your prayers. I'll be praying for you & tim.
Don't stress. enjoy the moment . ♡
Thank you so much
My heart continues to ache for you, Tim and Celeste. Your resilience is remarkable. I'm not sure I could have the same strength you've shown time after time. I truly believe you will bring home your sweet baby one day. Best wishes.
Oh thank you so much for your kind words.. I don't feel resilient all the time, but trying to remain hopeful following our most recent beta. Just praying the good news keeps coming. Thanks again
I'm so sorry you didn't receive the news you and your husband were hoping for. I'll continue to keep you both in my prayers and hope you get to have your take home baby soon!!!
Thank you so so much
it is not over yet!! keep positive
We'll try!
You are an amazing person Celeste and I am praying that you will get your happy ending soon. My heart is just breaking for you. It's just not fair but you will overcome this.
All of this heartbreak will just melt away when you finally hold your baby in your arms.
Just keep on going darling and we are all walking with you on this journey and we are all cheering you on and wishing it for you.
You are amazing xxxx
We are so looking forward, and we're not alone, to the day all of this heartbreak melts away when we are finally holding our precious baby in our arms. Thank you so much for your beautiful words
So sorry guys, just wanted to reach out and give you a big hug. I am still hoping for some good news and that wee bug was just taking their sweet time to nestle in. Sending lots of love and prayers
Thank you so very much
I am praying for you and your husband. I do not understand why people who would be wonderful parents, and give a child the world, have to suffer. It does not seem fair at all. I am so sorry you have to go through these hardships. You are such a strong woman! There is always hope no matter how grim it looks. XX
It doesn't seem fair, does it.. And there seem to be so many of us!! Thank you so much for your kind words. We are praying for a miracle 🙏🏼💞 xx
Oh hun! i really hope this pregnancy progresses for you! My heart broke for you when I heard that phone call! Loads of hugs X
Thank you so much
Darling, wishing and praying for you that by a miracle this works out well... and if not this time, then as soon as possible. xo
Thanks so much ❤️ xo
Lots of hugs and love. By monday who knows if your beta number havent already skyrocketed. I know its difficult but try to stay hopeful. If you are feeling okay and without any bleeding thats a good thing.
Thank you so much. We're praying that's what's going to happen!
Nothing I can say will make your hurt go away. I'm just sorry this keeps happening to you. This is one of the hardest things for a woman to go through, but this shows how strong you really are. You have been through a lot but your determination & hope is inspiring. I know it seems like it will never happen, but the way I view it is this is just another speed hump on the road to your destination. These are the stories that one day you will look back on and remember as you sit with your baby safely in your arms. This is your story. Don't ever give up 💕
Thanks so much for your kind & encouraging words
Oh Celeste, I'm sorry, it is so not fair at all. It's still not over yet though, hope you get better news tomorrow xx
Thanks so much
this made my heart break. sending positive vibes that things look up for you and your husband and yalls pregnancy.
This breaks my heart! Couples like you both struggle to have children and want one so badly, and theirs teens who get pregnant so easily and either abort or do a terrible job parenting. I'm so sorry you're going through such heart break. Keep that beautiful face up!
It doesn't seem fair sometimes, does it.. Thank you so much for your kind & encouraging words!
You got a positive ! I know it's scarey , but that's a lot more than I've gotten the past 12 years:) Its good:)
I'm praying so hard for you guys, you guys deserve this so much ❤ love from VA
Thank you so much for your sweet comment & prayers
I am seriously praying for a miracle on Monday 🙏 My heart is breaking, that nurse wasn't very compassionate! I always thought doubling times were 48-72 hours, maybe you are just on the 72 hour end. Listen to all the ladies with their experiences of healthy babies and slow betas. I am so heartbroken for you though 😢 You and Tim deserve a joyous pregnancy, free from sadness and worry. Any baby, no matter how long or short they are here on earth should be celebrated and loved. Just keeping my fingers crossed for you. I have been thinking about you all week, hoping it all turns out okay.
She wasn't very compassionate, was she?! And she's not even that nurse I dislike! I love everything you have said- it could not be more true! Thank you so so much
Celeste that was so painful to watch... My heart is actually Aching for you guys...its not fair, not at all.... Thank you for being so real and so honest in your videos...i've said it before and I'll say it again this journey is not for the weak of heart... Why we were chosen to take this road I'll never understand but I do know that you are strong loving determined and have learned lessons that some never learn in life... I wish I could make it all go away for you and you would be holding your baby in your arms....it's only a matter of time and you will.... Oh Celeste I am so so sorry.... Thinking of you today my dear and praying that the sun will shine soon🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much- your words always touch my heart
I'm really upset that they gave you such terrible news without knowing what's really going on. they don't know if it's ongoing or not, from what I have learned HCG has to double very 48-72 hrs which is what's happening in your case. they gave up on you way too fast. I'm so sorry you are hurting you so much. I will pray that they are wrong and that this pregnancy is in fact ongoing and results in a baby! please stay strong it's not over yet!
*you are hurting so much*
The nurse did make the outcome sound very final, didn't she.. I pray they are wrong also. Thanks so much for your positive & encouraging comment- it means a lot
I'm so sorry sweetie!!! My heart breaks for you and your husband!!! Praying for you and your journey to parenthood!!
Thank you so much
I'm so sorry to hear your news. Even though it doesnt look good I pray for you that a miracle happens. I was given a 50/50 on Friday for my current pregnancy. I'm 7 weeks today. I've suffered 2 MCs over the past year and I know how agonizing and heart breaking it is. Being stuck in limbo afraid to hope and preparing for the worst.
Have you ever had an adrenal stress test done? Sometimes if the adrenal glands are stressed the body rejects pregnancies. I had the test done and I had low DHEA which my specialist said was pre-adrenal fatigue. I'm just praying that for once I'm on the right side of the percentage and the slow rising HCG doesnt mean it's over.
Wishing and praying for the best for you too
Thank you. Being stuck in limbo is so hard. I'm so sorry for your losses, & pray all goes well with your pregnancy
I'm so happy for you guys i get emotional. Thank you for sharing, some of us need hopeful videos like this.
Thank you
Continue to hold onto hope. You are still pregnant and HCG levels vary so much in women. I am very disappointed in the way the nurse spoke to you. Unless she has a crystal ball then she can't predict the outcome of your pregnancy. They are going up so don't give up hope yet. I'm sending you such massive hope and love. Hugs to you and Tim.
Yes, after hearing so many positive stories of other women experiencing slow rising HCG, it isn't right for the nurse to have been so definite in her predictions. Thank you so much for your lovely comment
thinking about you today hun, I hope today's results in everything you have wished and dreamed of xx
Thank you so so much 💞 xx
Praying for you and your sweet little baby! 😊
Thank you
You are amazing! Just remember that. Sending my love & support your way🌸
Thank you so much for your kind words
I'm so sorry that you are going through this. We have done 5 full rounds of IVF over the past 1.5 years and then finally we got our BFP last month only for it to end in a miscarriage- this is all just so cruel. My heart goes out to you and Tim, lots of hugs xxx
I'm so sorry for your loss & all you have been through also.. We will keep you in our thoughts & prayers. Sending love
My heart is breaking for you both. If anyone deserves to be parents it is you and Tim. I'm quite a new subscriber but have gone back and watched all your videos. Please try not to lose hope as hope is all we have. I know how you feel as my 2nd pregnancy was a Missed Miscarriage (the Dr's kept calling it a Missed Abortion which horrified me...as if I wasn't going through enough already!!!) As I said to you on the other video I have since had 3 beautiful children. I have 4 children altogether. Whend I had my Missed Miscarriage like you were had seen the baby and heartbeat at 6 weeks. At 10 weeks I had the tiniest amount of brown spotting and immediately panicked and insisted on a scan as in hindsight my symptoms had almost gone (I get SO sick in pregnancy). It showed the baby had died at 7+3 weeks when I should of been 10 weeks. This happens to others not me was my thought. I had never even thought about miscarriage. I was booked for a D&C. I was offered no support. The Dr's and nurses were awful and really didn't care. To them I was just a statistic. My next pregnancies I was a nervous wreck. I had loads of extra scans (the hospital said I was being ridiculous in how I was acting and 'threatened' to turn me away from the Early Pregnancy Unit if I kept going with every little worry. I was treated awfully. I also had a huge issue when I had scans. I would look away and tell them before they do anything else "is there a heartbeat" only then would I look. It made me physically sick when I had scan through all 3 of my next pregnancies. By the 3rd they basically said you've had 2 babies since your miscarriage I think you can relax now but it was impossible. I don't know if you're into crystals but I got a Moonstone in my last Pregnancy. It supposedly helps with fertility and healthy baby so I took it to all my scans-even into theatre when I had my emergency C Section (my last 3 babies were all born prematurely by Emergency C Section Katie at 34 Weeks 5lb 1/2oz, Harry also 34 Weeks 5lb 3oz but he was really poorly and couldn't breathe on his own and Evie at 32 Weeks just 4lb 1/2oz. Only my first born Jessica was full term). It really helped me. I'd like to make you a little something incorporating a moonstone if there's a way I can post it to you?! Sorry for the essay lol.😁 Sending you much Love and HOPE from the UK. I'm not religious but I'll be Praying for you and asking the Angels to watch over you. Gentle (((Hugs))) Celeste xxxxxx
Thank you for your beautiful & encouraging words- they really are appreciated
Praying for you! I so hope the baby sticks! 💕
stay positive hun wishing you all the best and try not to stress!
Thank you. We are praying for a miracle
God Bless you! Thanks for sharing your precious happenings in your life. That's helps to be strong who are same stage.
I just found out I'm pregnant and on the 8th my number was 38... im going to the doctor in 7 hours and im so scared...
My heart is hurting for you and Tim. I'm not sure if this helps at all... but my betas never doubled properly with this pregnancy. I don't think the nurse should have told you that it isn't an ongoing pregnancy just yet. If your beta is rising, there is always hope. A friend of mine just had a similar thing happen too and so far, her pregnancy is going just fine too! My IVF nurse told me there is a huge variation in "normal" hcg numbers and all that matters is that it's going up. I'm still hopeful for you. Sending lots & lots of prayers
Thank you for sharing your experience, as well as your friends- it gives me a bit of hope! Thanks also for your prayers
And I agree that is not over yet. Miracles happen every day.
Tears... 😢the lady who called you seemed very heartless to me. Ugh.... I'm still learning about the beta numbers. They are going up maybe not as much as they say they should but they are increasing. I can't imagine how hard this is. It's one day at a time and be happy in that moment, life is full of so much. Sending all my prayers to you. Please keep us updated on what happens next. It could still be good. Xoxo🙏😘💕
She seemed heartless to me too.. Lacking compassion. But she's not the worst nurse I've had to deal with! Thanks so much for your prayers
Hi Celeste, new subscriber here! I am really sad about the whole situation. I feel your pain, I miscarried 3 months ago and it was during week 14, which was devastating and horrible to go through physically and mentally. I took a break after that and now we are trying again and hope for the best. Life is not fair, that is what i keep telling as well but I will pray for you. Do not lose hope and don't give up. Sending lots of love!
I'm so so sorry for your loss.. It is just not fair.. Wishing you all the very best, & sending lots of love & prayers to you too!
I'm so sorry. I've suffered losses as well so I know your pain too well. It took my husband and I 10 years to get our little girl. Know you are not alone and the fight is worth fighting. U and ur husband stay in my prayers. Please pray to St. Gerard for comfort; he helped me through many rough times. Try and stay positive and lean on eachother!
I'm sorry for your losses.. I'm so pleased to hear you got your precious little girl after such a long journey! Thanks so much for your prayers
My heart really goes out for you. You've been given such an incredibly torturous path to walk and it's all so unfair. I know the nurse was preparing you for the worst but her words were pretty brutal. You really can't lose hope yet though, your beta numbers are still rising and babies don't read the text books! There are so many examples out there where people have gone on to have healthy babies when their numbers haven't doubled and why shouldn't you be one of them? This was your miracle baby so don't give up hope. Also, in the UK we don't have betas as standard, even after ivf, so if you'd not had the beta tests you'd be blissfully unaware that your numbers weren't doubling. Really hoping and praying your miracle bubba proves the medical world wrong! I love all the quotes you include in your videos and the quote in this video was so fitting. You and Tim are in my thoughts. X
You're right- there are many examples of successful pregnancies after slow rising HCG.. We're praying I'll be one of them. It would be nice to be blissfully unaware without the beta's adding to our anxiety! Thanks so much for your kind thoughts & prayers
+Tim and Celeste Ah, thanks for asking. My egg collection was last week where they retrieved 15 eggs and 14 fertilised normally. Waiting to hear tomorrow how many made it over the weekend! We're keeping our fingers and toes crossed and praying too. X
That's wonderful news!! What a great number!! So excited for you :) We will keep you & those 14 little embryos in our prayers also!
you're so soft spoken and beautiful! you are going to have your beautiful blessings this time around God is with you.
Thank you
Thinking of you and Tim and sending you all of the warmth and positivity in the world! 🙏🏽Love from Canada💗
Thank you so so much
I'm so, so sorry. Sending you guys so much love, and praying that it's not ectopic. You're right, this isn't fair at all. 😢
Thank you so so much
Hi love, I know you have seen this so many times and its just so hard to stay positive, but His numbers are still riseing its not over, dont give up, and dont think of it as that. They say numbers rise slowly for many reason, and sometimes boys rise slower then girls, i didnt know I was pregnant until 4 months and i had a healthy boy. Just stay positive and strong and dont let what anyone says bring you down. I know its hard and you keep hearing it from many people. But dont listen. I had no symptoms at all i actually lost 58 lbs. while in that 4 months, so again, stay positive try not thinking about it as I know it can be hard Its ur body and only u can tell whats going on. Sending prayers and positive vibes!!
Thanks so much for your positive words & prayers!
I wish the best to you both, good luck 🍀
Thank you :)
10dpo hcg line pretty good but now 2 days reaming mensis nothing show in hcg line..this is lose baby. Rply
I just rewatched this video...it honestly breaks my heart that it’s now 5 years later and you haven’t got your rainbow. Your courage and strength is immeasurable, I know your rainbow is on the way soon, don’t lose hope and don’t give up you WILL have a baby in your arms soon ❤️🌈
Praying for you, I am hurting for you. Stay strong please. it is very hard and there is no answer about the why, how many good egg we have that can result in a baby, you are still very young and not have a low reserve so if this pregnancy doesn't turn to the positive outcome, stay as strong you can be and think of your beautiful embryo waiting for you. send you all my support and prayers for both of you.
Thank you. Sending prayers to you too
my heart breaks for you :( I wish you the beautiful baby you deserve and hope that's the miracle comes soon 💜
Thank you so much
Praying for that miracle sweetheart 💜 big love!
