Beta at 12dp3dt or 15dpo only 106. Any thoughts?

[golda928]

I'm on a rollercoaster ride. At 7dp3dt or 10dpo I had a + on digital and a fairly dark line. Next day much lighter line and - on digital. Since then it's been all +.

Today, I went for my beta at 12p3dt or 15dpo and it was only 106. The nurse said was a good # especially since it's early (they usually have you come in on 13dp3dt, or tomorrow but I asked to come in today). It's not early as most clinics I know do it earlier.

Anyone else in a similar situation at 15dpo? I looked on betabase and it said 139 is median for now. I know if it was a day or so earlier at 14dpo and it was 106 it would be great but at 15dpo it's low.

I've been through this before with chemicals and betas that weren't right. Hoping I'm just worrying for nothing.

Any words of wisdom or similar stories?

Thanks in advance.

First of all CONGRATS!!! You are PG!

Secondly, if the Dr's office is happy with the #, you should be happy with the #. The most important thing is the rise, as I am sure you will hear lots of times here. Remember, everyone starts low and a difference of just 3 points a few days ago, will make the your outcome a bit different than someone else. And betabase shows the MEDIAN that means average, someone was higher and lower to make an average. You are doing great, do not stress.

Take a look at my #'s, I have ID twins!

Thanks so much! Looking back on it I sound like a crazy woman but since I've been through this before with similar #'s and not great results, it just had me worried. Of course median is average.. I just hoped to be ABOVE average just once

CONGRATS on your ID twins. How exciting! I am remaining hopeful but preparing for worst shoudl it happen. My HPT today was much lighter. Why I do this to myself, I have no idea.. but since it's out of my control... I'm just going to enjoy being PUPO for now.

Thanks again!

No Problem, I know what you mean about wanting to be above average. I felt the same way. You would never look at my #'s and thing that anything extraordinary was going on in there. I hear tons of ladies with singletons with huge #'s and wonder what is different. But my RE has said to me so many times IT DOES NOT MATTER! Really, he is a very soft spoken Chinese fella and he truly raises his voice at me. Always with love of course, he is great. But still, i wanted to see better #'s too!

Congrats to you again. do you repeat beta tomorrow?

[golda928]

Yep. I go in the morning for a repeat beta. Given AF symptoms and lighter lines on multiple tests.. I'm expecting not great news. I would just rather it be really low so I know it's over or really high. I'm not made for limbo ...

Best wishes for your result today. Dont count yourself out because of cramps, bloating etc. You must stay positive, and stay away from the pee sticks!! LOL

Be sure to update when you can!

[golda928]

Thanks so much for your support. Got my results within an hour and a half after beta, they are great at the doctor's office. Beta today: 275!!! It doubled in 33 hours... Still nervous (that never ends) but much more hope now. One more beta on Thursday and then they'll scheduled an ultrasound.

Thanks again!

[BC-tysa]

Beautiful result! and now you have your "above average"

[golda928]

Back to way below average. Ugh..

Had a 3rd beta today... worried again (of course)... It went from 275 to 519, so doubling only 53 hours instead of 48. Was a 90% increase. The other day doubling time was 33 hours. Not sure what happened, but 519 and lower doubling seems like not a good thing.. especially at 19dpo.. Betbase says it should be closer to 630 or so now..

So worrying starts again until u/s next Thursday!

[BC-tysa]

I still think you are doing just fine. Did your RE state he was concerned with the result? Remember betabase is an average. I bet if you go in and put your 1st and 3rd values and skip the 2nd, you will be right on track.

All this, and you thought the wait for the first beta was the worst. Hang in there!
