Just got back from the u/s. There was nothing significant to be seen, which I guess is good news. There MAYBE something at the end of one of my tubes, but it is hard to tell. In any case, it just takes a very small left over piece to continue to produce the hcg. So, the next step is to decide how we are going to end this thing. We can take a drug called methotrexate which is a cancer drug that stops rapid cell division/growth and will do the same on any embryonic, fetal or placenta cells. Unfortunately, if this is the option we choose we won't be able to try again for 3 months. The other option is to wait it out and possibly risk needing emergency surgery and there is greater risk with this option. Both my RE and nurse said if it were their daughter they would recommend taking the drug... it is the safer option. On the way home dh asked does this solidify our decision to move onto adoption for now and try ivf again later... and I am thinking yes! If anyone has any experience with this drug I would really appreciate your input! My prayer right now is that my beta taken today has dropped and none of this is necessary!
