We returned to the clinic after 2 days and did the 2nd beta hcg blood test early in the morning. The result came in at 329. It was about 1.2 or 1.4 times the original. The associate doctor wasn't too sure what to do so asked me to go to the ultrasound room to check with Dr. Hwu and to do an ultrasound. At the ultrasound room, I briefed the doctor on my status and no embryonic sac was seen on the ultrasound. Dr. Hwu asked me to stop all medications as he said it wasn't a very normal pregnancy and to go back after 2 days for beta hcg blood test to ensure that the beta has gone down. They were afraid of ectopic pregnancy. So I stopped all medications and again after 2 days, I did another blood test, The beta was 190ish this time. The associate doctor said to wait for my period to come and if it does come, then all should be fine.
I was so scared of ectopic pregnancy and was pretty thankful when my period came. Although this meant I had to do a 3rd fresh IVF cycle, I was pretty relieved that there were no other complications. Human reproduction is a complex science. My baby-seeking journey hasn't been easy and I believe that when God decides the time is ripe, he will bless me with a baby.
To my readers, thank you for all the support. It is not an easy road and I wish you all the best in your fertility journeys. God bless.
