Beta's not doubling, so scared

Katie · 03-13-2006, 12:56 PM

My beta's are not doubling and I'm so scared. Here are my betas:

11dpIUI = 37
13dpIUI = 86 (doubling time of 39 hours)
15dpIUI = 155 (doubling time of 56 hours)
17dpIUI = 265 (doubling time of 62 hours)

My RE is a huge believer in the doubling every 48 hours to know it's a strong pregnancy, thing. So he's not really liking these numbers, but they aren't really writing it off or anything. They told me it's a huge wait-and-see thing. I'm so scared!

Did anyone else have slower times (increasingly slower times too, which is what worries me) and still have a successful pregnancy? I just don't know how I'm going to get through all these betas. I don't know what to do with my time and my thoughts until the next beta (on Wednesday 3/15). I'm so upset! Maybe this was just too good to be true.

Thank you for any advice/support.

Katie, I don't really have any words of wisdom for you, but I do think about you, and you are in my thoughts. Some people respond differently, and your numbers are increasing... People always say, just have faith, I know its hard, but don't let yourself get stressed, try staying nice and relaxed, I have good feelings for you

Beta went from 265 to 619 in 2 days. So anyone that's reading this now or in the future, if your betas do not double, have hope!

Katie - Congratulations! I hope you have a healthy and happy pregnancy!

mommytojaelynn · 03-16-2006, 09:30 AM

Katie, Ive been thinking about you! So gald to hear the good news!

My beta didn't double again. I'm trying not to worry with these erratic beta numbers. I will have an u/s Monday morning, and I hope it's not ectopic and that everything is fine.

11dpIUI = 37
13dpIUI = 86 (doubling time of 39 hours)
15dpIUI = 155 (doubling time of 56 hours)
17dpIUI = 265 (doubling time of 62 hours)
19dpIUI = 619 (doubling time of 39 hours)
21dpIUI = 1026 (doubling time of 66 hours)

I hate that my RE takes these betas every 2 days until they reach 2000. It drives me nuts! This is torture!!

Update: The nightmare continues.

11dpIUI = 37
13dpIUI = 86 (doubling time of 39 hours)
15dpIUI = 155 (doubling time of 56 hours)
17dpIUI = 265 (doubling time of 62 hours)
19dpIUI = 619 (doubling time of 39 hours)
21dpIUI = 1026 (doubling time of 66 hours)
23dpIUI = 1524 (doubling time of 82 hours)

I think it's over. I really don't think this is a viable pregnancy.

I'll update this thread after my u/s tomorrow.
