Low Beta - what do you think?

studiohuron · 09-24-2006, 12:11 PM

These are my betas:

13dpo: 15
15dpo: 44.1
17dpo: 87.2
19dpo: 9/26/06

I did IVF and amthinking this will probably miscarry. I am pretty heartbroken about it - does anyone see any silver lining to this dark cloud?

Thanks for any input

I think you're within the ballpark. They're doubling and that's the important thing!

Ditto what Athena said. Don't give up.......I've seen many ladies on these boards start with low numbers and go onto have successful pregnancies. Your numbers are doubling nicely.

Keep us posted.

Oh sweetie....please cheer up. Many of our numbers start out low. Like me. Mine went something similiar to your but did not double in the beginning. My RE said betas under 200 do silly things and can be low. But then they took off and I am 19W3D pregnant and all is well. The important thing is that they are doubling. Good Luck.

Thanks guys! I know if it were someone else I would be very optimistic for them but I cant help but be soooo cautious. I just dont want to be a fool and ignore the huge warning signs. plus I was feeling symptoms, now I really feel nothing.
thanks for your story katie
