low beta of only 5

Kellibear · 04-23-2006, 04:07 PM

Well, my beta is only 5 but my progestrone is 79 and Est is 1402, the nurse first said "this is negative" before giving me my numbers. When I asked for the numbers and I told her that I got a very faint + on fact plus and EPT she said = hold on. Today, is only day 12 -- my last IVF was tested on day 14 with a low beta of 14 that ended in a chemical. I explained to her that I am a PCOSer with periods that don't come for abourt 40 days and maybe this could be a late implanter. After her talking to another nurse - she was convinced to let me stay on drugs til monday and repeat bloods (which will be day 14).

Am I being a crazy IVF patient or can this beta turn into something?

Thanks for all your support ....

Oh Kelli! I am so sorry you are going through the beta hell....I have been there. I don't think you are being crazy AT ALL!!! It is too early to know what has happened!!!! My beta was only 17 at 14dp3dt, and I am now 25 weeks preggo!

I will keep my fingers crossed, and keep you in my thoughts and prayers....it ain't over yet!!!!!!
