Question Hope on a slow rising beta?



Is there hope? I did a 3 day transfer of 3 emmbies.

on 10/22 it was 11dp3dt and my beta was 130! WOW!! Finally a BFP!

2nd beta was on Monday 10/26...15dp and it was only 301.

The nurse said they wanted to see 400 or higher. I go back tomorrow, but things don't look so great. I don't know if I should get my hopes up. Maybe it is ectopic? I have no pains, no bleeding/spotting. What could it be?

Thanks for reading me rant!

Eileen

Slow rising beta's

I went through beta hell for about 8 weeks. My numbers were taking at least 4 days if not longer to double and they thought for sure etopic. I am 30 weeks pregnant with a healthy singleton. I transferred 2 and both implanted but 1 did not make it. So in turn my beta's took a while to develop accuratly. Time will tell and more beta's will be needed but it could end up to be a happy story. keep us posted!

Wow, peach!! You just made me stop crying. It is 6 am on Wed. and soon I will be leaving for my b/w. Your story is truely inspiring for me!

I have been crying since Monday. My number was low to begin, 130, then 4 days later 301. I transferred 3 embryos. DO you remember your numbers?

Thanks so much for this post!!

betas

I do remember my beta's.
11 DP3DT: 74
13: 81
15: 128
27: 369
32: 714
40: 899
42: 1800
50: 4000

They told me they thought etopic for sure, but at my forst ultra sound they saw a sac and fetal pole. They were still convinced it would be a miscarriage, but every week I had an ultra sound and things were progressing. The Dr. Didn't release me to an OB until about 10 weeks after conception. He was still skeptical. The only answer possible was vanishing twin. I know how hard it is to just wait. We tried for 3 years to get pregnant and thie first IVF was the last try. I remember spotting in the begining and just crying so hard I thought I would just die. I couldn't even begin to understand why everyone around me was having no problem at all and I just couldn't have this 1 miracle I tried so hard for. All I can say is I started to just listen to the Dr. and assume the worst was going to happen. I was sad an angry, but a little more relaxed then holding out hope every second of the day. It sounds morbid, but I think it helped the second embie stick around

I just came back form giving blood. I hate the waiting part. Your story really is great, I feel like I won't be lucky. One failed IVF in the summer, and TTC now since 2007.

The office staff treated me like a sick puppy. They mean well, but I could see in their faces, things don't look so great for me.

Time will tell. I do appreciate your story an dmaking me feel better!

Thanks again! I will post once I hear from the office.
