Beta "very low"

DrAussieMom · 03-31-2005, 10:59 AM

I took a beta yesterday at 13dpiui, and the results - "nagative". When I asked for specifics, I was told "very low". Then, I asked if I should continue on prog supp, and told "No, I have not numbers go up from where you are - you are safe to stop them (with a bit of hesitation)".........

I can't seem to get the number, soooooooo any thoughts?

Triggered, no AF.

Hi Kris!

I believe you have the right to know what the beta number is. I know some clinics consider it a "negative" under a certain number-- I think my clinic is anything 5 and under. I would try calling to have a follow up appt with your Dr and ask him for the number. I would be feeling the same as you-- there's a glimmer of hope because you were told the numbers were too low....I'm sure you will feel better either way. You could always ask for another beta as well, possibly tomorrow, to make sure either way. I hate it when they are so vague-- its insulting!

I would push for a follow up with your Dr.

My thoughts are with you....I know how frustrating and emotionally draining this journey is.

Best of luck to you.
