Extremely low beta, but doubling

[katywill]

This is my first IVF cycle and my first post to the forums. My betas have been as follows:

8dp3dt: 1 (I know, right?! Doctor said implantation may have been a day behind schedule.)
10dpt: 7
12dpt: 15
20dpt (May 27): TBD

I was having significant morning sickness and fatigue until about 2 days ago so have been hunting the interwebs to see if it is common for these symptoms to wax and wane throughout early pregnancy.

We shall see.

I got my next beta today and its 427. i go back again next wednesday. My PG level is very low 4.7 but the doctor is not worried because he said the crinone doesnt show up in the blood. Elyn, your reply to my post is what has been giving me so much hope. thank you so much for posting that. Katywill was your beta good? Hope everyone has a nice memorial weekend!!

wow it more than doubled!!! congrats

Sorry for the delay in posting my latest result; we moved out of state over the weekend and I didn't have internet access until today.

My beta was less than 1 so it was a chemical pregnancy. Total bummer, but all things considered I am doing really well with it.

We have frozen embryos so I guess we will go that route.

so sorry katy, but glad you have a plan that does help the healing process, GL with your frozen cycle

Rosette--so glad I could help out! Some of us just start with lower betas. We had our first u/s today at 5w5d and saw a heartbeat!! I didn't think I'd see it until my 2nd u/s next week but there it was!! We are so excited. The heart-rate was in the low 100s which is a normal rate for this early on. Please let us know how everything progresses---crossing all my fingers and toes for you!!!

today is THE day... our beta was really low, i guess even with iVF you can have a late implanter. today is the 3rd Beta and im on pins an needles i took a hpt this morning that was nice an dark right away before the control line showed so im takin that as a good sign, as i need those right now to calm my nerves LOL but here is my betas so far.
12pt- 4
14dpt- 9
15dpt: -HPT
16dpt: +HPT (faint)
17 18 19 20dpt: dark an darker +HPT
20dpt- ??

can you believe they made me wait 6 entire days??? and then i have to wait half the day for results. i have been a POAS queen lol trying to see if the line is getting darker. well the line didnt turn BFP until 16dpt so i know that it has been going up the last few days but has it gone up high enough?!?!? today we will finally know. then guess what... we will do more beta hell LOL Dr said he wants to monitor it all the way up to a point we can see something on the ultra sound. torture, torture i tell you? why cant i do anything just the right way? i seem to alwaysfall n the crack some where not knowing what side of the fence i will be landing on... grrrr.... grow baby grow!!
