Hi Ladies,

I got the phone call today stating my bloodwork was inconclusive. Nurse stated My beta was (7). She said normally anything over a 2 is considered a pregnancy, but they told me to take 2nd Ovidrel shot 4 days after 2nd IUI, and they want to make sure.So I have to go back for blood work on Mon.Im so frustrated...at this point I don't think Im pregnant.I feel crampy, boobs a little sore and Im bloated. Has anyone ever experienced anything like this ...Help.

Just last month on my 5th IUI, I went for my beta and it came back as 13. They said not to get my hopes up since it was very low. I had to go back two days later to see if it increased. In my heart I knew it wasn't to be since all my PMS/pregnancy symptons had started to go away. The next beta came back at 4. Two days later, it was down to zero and I started my period. My doc said it was a chemical pregnancy, which is very common. My DH and I were encouraged, even though this was very sad, since this is the first time we actually conceived. They say not to focus on the low beta... the beta just needs to double every 48 hours if you are progressing through an early pregnancy. I wish you the best, and hang in there.

I am not sure of the beta since all I was ever told was "it is negative"
I do feel like I am pregnant sometimes, but then AF comes. The meds with IVF made me feel preg too. I pray you are though! Good luck and keep us posted!! I am praying for you.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
