Jennifermakishi · 03-22-2005, 12:58 PM

I need to hear wonderful successes after getting a low first beta.

I am 10dp5dt and my Beta was 35

agh.. so disappointed!

Help,

When are they doing a follow up? It doesn't matter how low, but if it doubles or goes up by 60%. One beta by its self isn't very informative. Good luck, waiting is an awful place to be, but you are definitely not alone. And are you 10 days past transfer? That seems early to me, but I am in the IUI camp and don't know the abbreviations for transfers that well.

Take care,
Shannon

Maybe I can help.

11dp3dt = 36
13dp3dt = 87
18dp3dt = 1247

5w5d u/s showed yolk sack and fetal pole with beginnings of HB

yesterday - 7w3d u/s showed strong HB and everything measuring on track.

I am not out of the woods yet but so far have crossed all the hurdles.

My beta was a day ahead of yours when you factor in 5dt verses 3dt but still low.

I think it is more important how your numbers compare to each other rather than your initial level.

i have been scared to death the whole time because my DD's level started at 112. big difference.

I'll be praying for you.
