My low beta numbers is there hope!

[tinkerbabykml]

My first beta came in at 34=10dpt5d my second beta came back at 38=14dpt5d it only went up 4! Is there still hope for this pregnancy I have to go back again on Thursday to see if it goes up again. They said the Dr's just wanna monitor my levels.

Is there hope? I have waited so many years for this and finally get a bfp and now this ughhh!

Kris -
So you had four days between betas and your beta moved 4 is that right? Just wanted to make sure I read/calculated your transfer/dt thing. Anyway. Usually at this stage you want to see a little higher betas and things moving upwards. So I would venture to say (i'm no a doc though) it sounds like a chemical pg.
Now we have had some that started with low betas and had a couple that moved a hundred here and tehre and then shot up and went on to have successful babies. So anything is possible. pray.pray.pray. I hope for big numbers next beta.. Sorry I didnt have more positive news

Hello,

I have been lurking on these boards since my 2nd beta was done on 03/22/06. Here is my run down:

Egg Retrieval 03/07/06
Transfer 03/10/06 - (4 great embies)

1st Beta 03/20/06 - 33 (10dp3dt - I think I said that right - 10 days post 3 day transfer)

2nd Beta 03/22/06 - 41 (12dp3dt) - Not looking so good

3rd Beta 03/24/06 - 66 (14dp3dt) - Better, but still may be miscarriage or ectopic

4th Beta 03/28/06 - 296 (18dp3dt)

There is some hope. My doctor (Dr. Fisch - Sher Institute in Las Vegas) never said to stop meds or that it was hopeless. He did give me all of the possibilities but that he has seen many pregnancies pull out. It appears maybe mine did, but our first u/s is on 04/10/06 so we will know more then. Anyhow, what I wanted to say is just to be cautious, but don't give up all hope. This is my 8th IVF and only my 2nd pregnancy - 1st ended in blighed ovum at 7 weeks, but there is hope.

I think on these boards they call this Beta Hell. I think that is appropriate.

Good Luck!

Id say its worth being hopeful still my betas at the beginning were 6 ,16 ,161, 7 days between then i hit 1260 as long as there not staying the same or dropping or like before my m/c in aug i woke up and had no symptoms even now that this one is a good one so far i still grab my chest too see if it still hurts LOL these things make us crazy and only each and every one of us individually will know these things, I will be praying and i think there is still a lot of Hope ,
Sincerely EDD 11/14/06

I am on my way again

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay all I have been on the evil pee stick roller coaster! Yesterday I took one pee stick test and it came back very very faint positive so that just wasnt good enough for me! So I went back to the old faithful pee stick that I used when I got my first positive the EPT Certainty and that came back NEGATIVE!!! I was so upset I cried for hours and rubbed my lower belly praying and crying and praying. Well I finally cried myself to sleep last night after discussing the next option with hubby while he is away in Hawaii.

Anyways I got up to go to my #3 beta test and really didnt want to go because of the results that I got yesterday however I figured I would POAS again this morning and it was POSITIVE!!!

I just dont know what to do anymore!! I am thinking chemical pregnancy because I think my HCG is dropping because of the Negative yesterday???

I'll keep you posted this afternoon with the results!!

Kris- Sorry to hear this news. It is soo hard to go through. Seeing that your DH is not there... it makes it harder.
Keep us posted.
