Beta not looking good

SherrieandRober · 02-18-2005, 07:12 AM

I am new here and wondering if anyone can relate or help with some advice. I just did a FET on feb 9th. Which puts me at 10dpt. At 7dpt i couldnt wait and took a test. To my surprise it was positive. Since I didnt get any triggers this time. So my RE office told me to come in and they would do a beta. It was 24. Which I was told is high for 7dpt. then yesterday at 9dpt my beta only went to 36. Can anyone tell me anything on this? What do my chances look like? How long is it going to take me to know If this is a viable pregnancy.

Thank you
Sherrie

Sherrie try to stay positive. I have a bulletin board buddy ona different site that had really low betas as well. She did not do a an fet, but I think these were her betas: 19.5, 36.1, not sure about third one, and the last one was 175. They were doing her u/s this week. Sorry I don't know the results from it as that board is down at the moment.

Also, read the thread for jenbethk (?) she has had a time w/ her betas and they keep going up.

I know it is hard to hang in there, but please try to. It could have been a little early for them to test you. I wish you the best of luck. I hope everything goes well.

Thank you for your reply. I hope all goes well. I will just keep my chin up.

yes if you check out ZARA on the FET and Jenbeth there as well, you can see betas that are a little crazy but they seem to be picking up.

SherrieandRober · 02-18-2005, 04:49 PM

What is ZARA?

jenbethk · 02-18-2005, 05:11 PM

Hey Sherrie -

ZARA is one of the girls on the boards. Her betas started really low, but they've gone up really nicely! Her u/s is on Monday or Tues.... I think Tues. but she was trying to change to Monday!

Good luck tomorrow, Sherrie! I'll be thinking of you!

Thank you. But I am worried now that luck will not help. I took 2 preg tests today first one pos. 2nd one neg.

Hi Sherrie,

I replied on our other thread (can't remember which one off-hand). I'm sorry about the hpt situation. Try not to make yourself crazy!!!! You can definitely get a false negative. Which kind of test gave you a negative???

SherrieandRober · 02-18-2005, 05:28 PM

the first response. but the cheapy one gave me a positive. But I just went back and looked at test faint/ faint/ faint line on first response/ darker like on cheapy test.
