Pregnancies Resulting From Low Betas

heathermk38 · 06-18-2007, 07:11 PM

Hi Girls! I had my first beta at 10dp5dt and it was like 33 and then I had my 2nd at 12dp5dt and it was 58. My RE wasn't concerned, and when I asked his nurse if I should have a third done, she said no, that that's one of the options the dr can mark off when he reviews the betas, but that he didn't feel it was necessary, so he just said to schedule me for my fist u/s-which is a week from today. They say the fact that the number is going up is more important than the number itself. But my question is, can you girls who had low betas to begin with than went on to have healthy pregnancies share your stories with me??

Heather - can't you just go to your normal OBGYN and tell them you believe you are PG and they will give you a blood test? To put yourself through this for another week...

Hang in there.

Rio, I'm doing great! 13 weeks along!! So it doesn't always matter if they double or not. What were yours??

heather,
did you ever have your betas done again? did they eventually start to double mine are very low 12 dpo 21, 14 dpo 33, 18 dpo 76, 20 dpo 115.
My Ob said that there's a very small chance but most likely I will loss it. I was just wondering if yours jumped up there eventually. It looks like you started off with higher #'s than mine to begin with.
