Beta Results....

Katelyn03 · 03-09-2005, 02:06 PM

I really need all the prayers in the world for this one girls. I can't even get excited. My BIG beta came back at 10... a BIG freaking 10. How is this suppose to be the best day of my life?

My poor dh is so excited. I guess a 10 is better than a negative. The nurse told me that she has seen a 4 go on to deliver a healthy baby. This is what I have found on HCG levels.

9dp5dt is:

High 223
Average 95
Low 33

I told my nurse that I get the LOW BETA award for the day and she said, No I didn't! She has another one that was lower. So guess I'm not the only one having a crappy day.

Next Beta will be on Friday at 8:00. Please pray for my little bean.

I HAVE EVERY HOPE AND BELIEF THAT THIS BETA WILL KEEP RISING!!!

i will say prayers for you !!!

We'll I've been on the General Pregnancy thread and read the past beta's. Even though I'm still upset I found a few low beta's with healthy deliveries.

14 day with beta of 17

13 day with beta of 13

14 day with a beta of 36

so I guess it is possible but why do I have to be one of these. Geez!!

Hang in there girl. Praying for doubling come Friday!

Hey!

Ohhhh, man! Why is IF so grueling? Bless your heart!!!

My re will not test until 11 days after my transfer (which will also, please pray, be a 5 day transfer). I am praying that this is still early. Remember what's been said about fet's being later to implant??? My cousin did the beta battle in the beginning of her pg (she had a natural pg) ...her now almost 4 yr old is as healthy as as can be!
My prayers are with you. You hang in there and lots and lots of prayers coming your way.
big big hugs!

Waiting in-between betas is worse that the 2ww--so sorry you're going through this.

I've read in so many places that FET betas are often lower to start with--they just start off slowly, but soon catch up.

I'll be praying that your number shoots up.

Katelyn...Hang in there! When I received my first ever positive beta, my number was 22. A friend who had cycled at the same time had a lower number than that. I got up to 660 until it was deemed a chemical, but she went on to have a healthy little boy. You're lucky that your nurse is so positive because my nurse and RE were the harbingers of doom and gloom, which only added to my stress level. Honestly, in 6 years I've had 6 negatives, but the hardest thing for me to go through was that low positive so I know how stressful it is. Try to remain positive.

I second what Kathy said in the post above. I'm sorry the number wasn't higher. But, there is certainly still hope. Sometimes these things work out just fine.

I wish you the very best of luck.

Whew Katelyn that is tough! Low betas DO end up in healthy pgs all the time. Just hang in there girl and do whatever you have to to stay sane (short of heavy drinking and/or heroin). Breathe in and breathe out . . . and we will all keep praying!!!! LOTS of good vibes coming your way sweetie.

Thank you all so much for your love and support. This is why I love these boards.

Today I'm feeling better. I will enjoy this even though I'm still not out of the woods just yet. I'm pregnant for today so we'll see what tomorrow brings.
