Low beta - 9.2

Hi Ladies,

I did an IVF cycle and received a phone call today that yes, I am pregnant, but my beta is 9.2. I am trying to stay hopeful, but it seems so unlikely that this is going to work out. Last year (IVF #1) my "chemical" pregnancy ended very early on. My first beta then was 16.

Any suggestions or success stories you can share with me? Should I try to live my normal life or give myself some bed rest?

Thanks,
Shar

Question Same boat as Shar as of today...

I only found out my first and second betas today... (SIRM gal)

7dp5dt: 6
10dp5dt: 10

I know there is still hope and we go back for another beta on Wednesday. Its quite a shocker with such low betas though. Happy to be pregnant but the uncertainity of it!!! Will I still be pregnant on Wednesday?? I am feeling nauseous today too!

IVF #1: lost baby at 5.5 mos
IVF #2: BFN
IVF #3: ???

Hi, my first beta was 10dp5dt and it was 33 and my second one done two days later was like 58. I'm now 12 weeks along with a very healthy baby. I figured I just had a late implanter. Hang in there!

Thank you for the replies ladies. Unfortunately mine ended in another "chemical" pregnancy... My second beta yesterday was a 6, so the nurse told me to stop meds and wait for AF. DH and I are going to meet with our RE and try to solve this mystery. It's just so strange that everything has looked so great with both IVFs and then it ends like this.

Hopespreader - best wishes for a big beta jump!

Thank you so much for your support ladies!

Shar
