Low beta after FET...help!!!

Jeunesse · 03-13-2006, 10:49 AM

Hi,

I'm 6weeks pregnant after FET.I had an u/s last friday after
weird beta's and was told to expect another miscarriage.
I got pregnant with my 2nd FET.(first FET ended in a miscarriage after 6
weeks with normal beta's but with bloodloss from week 4-6)
Anyway......
Here are my numbers:

16dpo-55(was told way too low)
18dpo-40(another lab)
23dpo-376(same lab as first and was told bad pregnancy)
27dpo-1300(same lab as first and suspected ectopic)

Then on 27dpo a vaginal u/s....doc told me to expect to see
nothing with a beta of 1300.Well they did see a sac in my
uterus so not an ectopic pregnany.Sac measurred 5-6mm so
very small.Again the doc told me I was gonna miscarry(99.99%) cause
at 5w6d you should see way more and my beta of 1300 was way
too low and should have been around 10.000 by now.
So I was sent home to wait for a miscarriage but I have to come
back this friday for another u/s and beta.He said he wants to see if
my beta was dropping nicely.

I feel pregnant,don't have pain and no bloodloss nor spotting yet.
Does this all look very bad....I just hope I still have a chance you know.
I mean even with IVF or FET can't implantation occur a bit later?
Grasping at straws here....I know.....I just don't think I can handle
another miscarriage.

Update below!!!!!

I can't really help you other than to say I took my 1st beta at 13dpiui (12dpo) and it came back at 20. My doc said that was a little low but I probably had late implantation and as long as it continued to double she was happy with it.
Also I have heard of babies having a "slow start" and catching up by the end of the 1st trimester. So as far as I'm concerned it ain't over until it's over!
I wish I could say something to comfort you but IF is just so **** hard there isn't anything easy about it.

I guess you're right...it ain't over till it's over.
This is sure very difficult!!! I keep hoping for a miracle.

Thank you....I have another beta and ultrasound in 3 hours and I'm so nervous and
scared.Hoping for a miracle !!!!Will update when I get home.

I had my ultrasound and the sac looks the same as last week.
So a missed abortion.They give me 3 weeks to miscarry naturally since
I prefer that.So now I'm waiting for that to happen.Hopefully it'll
happen soon.
Thanks for the support.

I am sorry it ended this way. Sometimes it feels like the entire process is just sitting around waiting for something to happen doesn't it? Hang in there and remember to lean on your family and friends for support. The women on this board can be a big help in that area too. Unfortuantely, it seems like you can always find someone else who has gone through exactly the same thing to talk to for support.
