Pregnancy Info HOME

So glad I found this site. I am 20 days post-IVF with very low pregnancy test results. Test 1=13. Test 2=31. I've been told to wait 4 days before the next test, rather than the usual 2, so I go in this Tuesday a.m. I had no idea what "normal" ranges were until I started poking around on the internet, and now understand how very low I really am. I haven't seen many people with numbers as low as 13 for the first test. I know the number doubled between tests one and two, but I'm scared to death...is it really the doubling that's most important? My breasts hurt but I'm not really crampy...however my back is really bothering me. Anyone else have that problem. We just found out our remaining three embryos failed to mature and were not frozen. This is our first, and possibly last, IVF attempt. I was doing just fine with the shots, staying pretty positive and feeling good...but I think I've hit a wall. I just can't believe how low my numbers are. The nurses sounded pretty guarded when they spoke to me, saying it might not be viable...but they didn't tell me what normal looked like, so I didn't have a basis of comparison until today. I'm 37 years old, PCOS on metformin, and we've been trying for 2 years. Has anyone overcome low numbers recently? Any information would be so appreciated.
