Low Betas?

[erms]

Hi All,

This is my first time writing. I found out I was preg on Tuesday (2/7), my beta that day was 28 (very low). I took another blood test on Thursday and it went up to 70. I'm getting another test tomorrow. What do you think? This is my first pregnancy, I'm nervous...

Hey, I see you are from the Chicago area!! If you don't mind telling, what RE are you seeing?

Your beta #'s are rising and this is good. As long as they keep going up I wouldn't worry too much.

Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!

Hey! I'm not seeing an RE as of yet. Right now, just a regular OBGYN. This is our first cycle trying, so no need for an RE yet...but I may need one at some point...

Good luck on the 13th! I never realized getting pregnany would give me anxiety about numbers, doubling, etc...

Hi I just wanted to let you know that my first beta was 15 then 38 then 66 then 119.....my RE nurse said as long as it is doubling you are going over the right hurdles thus far......

Good Luck!

thanks tjsbbygirl01--the second beta gave me hope today...but i just wish i could feel better about it--so many other numbers are so much higher. i'm thinking it's possible i ovulated later than i think i did....

I feel that way about mine it was a complete suprise after 2 D&C last year in o5 one was in Nov and then I had af in Dec 30 then i was like ok it is now Feb 3rd no af i should test and yup i was and they are thinking I o way later considering that I have never been normal and I have no idea when we concieved but I know that I will have my first us 2/19/06 ..and I am nervous as HELL...with all rights but you know I am greatful to just be able to get preg. ya know. I know I read on here about women who have not even go this far and I feel guilty sometimes...but I know when they do they will feel the same as me so keep your head up...

Welcome and Congrats!! Well as you know beta's can range widely and what you want to see is a doubling every 48-72 hours. Stay positive!!

No I can get pregnant....but I have lost 4 babies 2 in 05 and this is the 3rd in less than a year....and the rest were previous.. it took us 4 years to get preg in April then 1 cycle of Clomid in Sept was preg in Oct. then D7c in Nov. I do see an RE thought for reaccurent Preg loss which they have no idea why and I am totally un med this cycle so i have NO HOPES at all for this preg. I know that sounds bad but I am numb....I am not even acting like I am preg I mean I am very careful as to what I eat and NO caffine but emotinally I am not attached at all I can't be not this time. I want to think otherwise but I feel sooo different... I am greatful though to be able to get this far..see it is a trade I can get preg and I can't carry and I have always seen a H/B and it just dies at like 8-10 weeks....and women who can't get preg do after years of heartache and suffering and they carry full term...so its a trade I figure if I make it to alteast 2 months by now I could have carried a baby and half term by now with all the months I have spent prego.
thanks,
Jonni
