Is a misscarriage still possible, when betas are high?

Vanessa-73 · 07-13-2005, 03:35 AM

Do you know if there is less chances of misscarrying, when the betas are on higher level in early pregnancy and doubles quite fast (about 36hours)? Or is it still possible?

Don't mean to be a downer but a high beta is no guarantee of a healthy pregnancy. I have a friend who had a high beta and m/c early on.

I agree with 50/50 there is no guarantee. When you see a heartbeat your chances of m/c decrease but there is always a chance something can happen. But don't get discouraged. My first couple of m/c my beta's started really low like in the 30's. This pregnancy my beta started at 247 and I have had a healthy pregnancy so far and am 18.5 weeks.

Congratulations and good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well you have 2 questions there -- is it less likely and is it still possible.

I do think it is less likely that you will m/c if you have a good strong beta and it is doubling well. On the other hand it is still possible. Look at it this way -- all the info you have so far is good!! And it seems as though you have no reason to believe you will not have an H&H 9 mos. Good luck!
