Low Beta Updated

RE Office just called. My beta at 10dp3dt is a 7. She said that while she has seen people with 7's achieve a healthy pregnancy, most of the time they don't. The good news is that implantation occurred...we just don't know if it's going to stick.I had a major fall down 8 icy but I didn't know it stairs on Tuesday 7dp3dt. I went to urgent care and other than major bruises, I'm ok. I took a urine pregnancy test and it was negative, but really early. I'll never know if that impacted this attempt, but I will always have that in the back of my mind. The nurse assured me that the embryos would probably be fine and that if something were going to happen to them, it would happen within 48 hours.Beta 2 is scheduled for tomorrow morning.nbsp;We do have 2 frosties waiting for their chance that is what is getting me through this.nbsp;nbsp;
UPDATE: Beta 2 was 2 stopping PIO and waiting for CD 1 to start FET cycle. I may have to delay for a week or two due to the lab being closed the last two weeks of December.

Thanks for all of your support! Looking forward to joining the January group!

I know its scary but there is a chance that all could turn out fine. I've got my FX for you! I really, really, really don't think that the fall had any impact. They are sooo well protected in your uterus that a fall would not harm them. I truly hope you get excellent betas tomorrow that put your mind a little at ease!
