Help low beta!

molliea · 09-11-2009, 10:25 AM

Hi. I just got my beta results.

I am 15 dpiui. And it was a 36 (that is so low). When I did IVF, my 15 d past was 136. But also with IVF, they are put into your uterus which might make a difference. Maybe it implanted late?

I will not get my beta tested again until Thursday next week.

Please advise!

Hi Mollie,

I can relate! I had a beta of only 24 at 12dp3dt, or 15 days after ovulation, I guess.
I thought it was over. My doc said that the most important thing was that that number would double. Mine tripled in 48 hours to 78. I checked it again at 26 days and went to 7868.... and we saw our baby on Wednesday....

I hope this gives you hope. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you. I know exactly how you feel right now. Good luck!

that makes me feel better but I feel like I am having AF cramps. I am still worried but trying just to stay positive.

Do you remember what your first beta was for your first ivf? was it totally different?

Thanks so much for giving me hope! Mollie

Yes, my first beta from first IVF was 98, so a big difference from 24.

I cramped with both and to tell you the truth thought I was going to start my period when I called my doc and said I am going for another blood test to end this misery. My number came at 7898, so needless to say-no period.

I know it is HELL!!!! Stay strong!

Barge!

Sorry I can't help you with beta stuff but I wanted to let you know that before I found out that I was pg, I wore a pad for a week because I thought AF was going to come at any second. I had cramping like that until I was about 8 weeks and my OB told me that this was totally normal and to be expected. I just thought that might ease your mind a little bit. Congrats and Good Luck!

Hey so my beta doubled 4 times - it is still on the low side - 505 but they don't seem worried. My progesterone dropped 3 points so they put me on supplements. They are not worried but I am.

I go back Tuesday for bloodwork.

I am hoping implantation and everything will be fine. I am nervous!

Thanks for your support! Mollie
