low and slow rising beta....any hope?

[hannah1229]

Hi. I am new to this forum and joined after searching the internet for the last 72 hours! This is my first pg via IUI unmedicated. My LH surge was 10/27 with iui on 10/28. On 11/11 (14 dpiui, prob 13dpo) I got a faint positive on HPT and again on 11/12. On 11/12, I had first beta drawn, it came back at 26. Nurse said it was low, they usually like to see 50. They did a repeat yesterday (3 days later) and it was 44. Not doubled. Nurse said likely impending m/c or ectopic. I return for another beta tomorrow morning. I have no cramping or bleeding. Have nausea and sore breasts and am exhausted and emotional. I have no idea whether to hold out hope or resign myself to an impending loss. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks so much.

YES YES YES there is HOPE!!! I promise there is. I am a surrogate and I had a beta of 51 on 9days post a 5 day transfer and two days later it was 67 and two days after that 90 and two days after that 150 and two days after that 330 (finally doubled) then two days after that 560 then here is the KICKER two days after that it went up to 1423!!!! We have an u/s scheduled for 12/8 but the RE says everything looks GREAT and they are not concerned at all!! YES there is HOPE!!!

Thanks. Unfortunately my beta is dropping and I've been told a m/c is imminent. GL to you. I hope your u/s goes well.

Hannah - I am so sorry about your m/c. I joined this site after a chemical pgncy in March - looking for support. And I found it! Please come over to the Infertility boards if you're up to it. General Infertility is a good place to start and also the IUI board if thats what you are doing.

Please take care of yourself and spend the time you need grieving. I hope for the best to you!

I am so sorry to hear your beta started dropping. I know that must be so difficult. I hope you find peace in your heart and a baby in your arms before you know it!!
