Guest guest Posted July 13, 2000 Report Share Posted July 13, 2000 My number today was 401, down from 519. It's not coming down as fast as my doctor (or me!) would like. We're talking about more methotrexate. This is just so frustrating. I'm glad I have a wonderful group to blow off steam with here. You gals are the greatest!

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2000 Report Share Posted July 15, 2000 My understanding was 15% every three days. Chin up, we're all in the same boat here.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2000 Report Share Posted July 15, 2000 Can you please give me an idea about how the numbers of the hcg levels go down. My doctor isn't really satisfying me with answers. I had the methotrexate on 7/4. I don't know what my numbers were then. I was five weeks .. My level on 7/12 was 7,545 and on 7/13 they were 6,800. I don't know if this is extremely high or normal and if it is suppose to decrease so slowly. This is torture for me. My doctor doesn't give me straight answers. I fell like I am living in a constant nightmare, waiting for the bomb to explode. Can anyone help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2000 Report Share Posted July 16, 2000 After the first shot your HCG should go down 15% to be considered successful. My HCG actually went up after my first set. I had another set. Then had weekly HCG tests after that. It was very slow from there. Every week it would go down half. It took 9 weeks to resolve to zero. I know for Kim it took even longer.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2000 Report Share Posted July 17, 2000 My doctor told me that your chance of miscarriage is higher because you haven't given your body enough time to regenerate a healthy lining.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2000 Report Share Posted July 17, 2000 Emperus, This topic has been brought up before but I can't help but wonder if I had waited longer after my ectopic if I wouldn't have had the miscarriage. I had my ectopic in June and got pregnant again in Sept. but I don't think my body was ready to take care of a new life again so soon. Just my input.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2000 Report Share Posted July 17, 2000 Emperus, I didn't have to wait three cycles. As soon as my HCG was zero we were able to ttc again. Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
