Hi All,
The last transfer of 2 embryos on the fresh cycle was unsuccessful. It had a very low hcg level but the odd thing was that the level kept doubling every 2 days the way it would for a viable pregnancy, which this was not. I got a real period and the level was still doubling. The weird part was that I went through so many different levels of sonograms, even at the hospital and no one could find it. A week after my period I spotted and the level dropped.
Starting fresh, I had one embryo left in the freezer to transfer. I chose to do a natural transfer (no medication). After I ovulated I was on medrol and doxycycline twice a day for 4 days and progesterone suppositories twice a day for 10 days. (Note, the suppositories leak a lot)
