I was supposed to have a blood draw this Thursday and that blood draw was supposed to show a 15% decrease which would let the Dr. know that the shot was working. Today I woke up and realized that the mild nausea that I originally thought was from the shot, was actually morning sickness and that I now have additional pregnancy symptoms. I knew my levels were going up and not down. I had actually started bleeding and cramping on Sunday and was hopeful that they were going down but the bleeding has nearly stopped and it's nothing like a period.
I put in a call to my local Dr.'s office and they had me come in immediately for blood work. I was right. My levels went from 1,900 on Wednesday of last week to 3,053 today. There is no way my levels are going to drop to 1,600 in one day as that would be a 50% decrease now. I have an ultrasound tomorrow morning where they will determine if I am safe for a second dose. If not, we'll have to make plans for surgery. This is an absolutely horrible experience. I feel like a walking time bomb.

My heart is just breaking for you dear. I am so sorry this is happening. We had a missed miscarrage and I thought I could wait it out and let my body do the work, but it just never happened...I remember that week being the longest and most agonizing ever. I can only imagine what you are going thru but I can also empathize to a certain degree. Please know I am saying lots of prayers that this can be resolved non-surgically. Many, many cyber hugs coming to you.

oh my goodness, this is HORRIBLE! As if a BFN, or a BFP turned BFN, or the shot weren't bad enough by themselves. I am SO so sorry. I wish this cycle would just end for you already. T&P that you get another shot and not surgery...
So so sorry about all that this cycle has entailed for you and Mr. Hammer emotionally (and physically).
My heart hurts for you. I wish this was easier..I hope the second shot works and you can avoid the surgery. Keep us posted..sending you major hugs and support.
