BETA not going up quick enough..anyone been there???

hez30 · 03-02-2005, 06:43 AM

I had my 1st BETA on last Wednesday after my first IVF cycle with 2 embryos transplanted. It came back at 251. I went back 2 days later, on Friday and my level was at 385, but it is not jumping up like it is supposed to. They sent me for a 3rd BETA test on the following Tuesday and it is at 892, still going up, but not to their liking. I am scheduled for an ultrasound tomorrow, along with my height and weight and another BETA. They told me that I could have had 2 embryos take and lost 1, I could have and ectopic pregnancy (which I have no signs for except the BETA levels), or my body could miscarriage (No spotting yet) and be getting ready to have my period. I am very overwhelmed at this point and can't wait for tomorrow, I was just wondering if this has happened to anyone else or if someone has some advice for me.

Hi there.... Well I can't say that I have experienced exactly what you're going through, but I just wanted to drop you a line to say "stay positive", stranger things have happened. Your numbers are going up, which I would think is a good sign. What is the next step for you and when is your next beta?? Please keep me posted. I will be thinking of you and saying some prayers for you as well....+++++ thoughts
