Very low beta and spotting after BFP - is it over?

After another promising test today (13dp5dt) I finally received my Beta result from 11dp5dt (middle test on the picture) and shocked to find out it was only 21.1. I had a chemical in March where the line was barely visible at all on 12dp5dt and the Beta for that was 45. How can this be? My lines looked so much better than previously.

Had another Beta today which I will get the result of on Friday but I have pretty much given up 😢. Also I’ve had slight brown discharge this afternoon, just a tiny amount but with everything together I’m now fearing the worst. This was our last chance and I’m 41. Had 3 embryos transferred.

I’m crossing my fingers and toes for you. My first beta was 31 and I had to go through blood tests every few days which was the worst. I’m now 19 weeks pregnant. It’s a really hard place to be in, particularly when the stakes are so high. Wishing you all the best xx

Hi, I had similar issues this cycle (but my beta was much lower than yours) and it ended in chemical pregnancy. I also had low betas in March cycle started low and ended in miscarriage at 7 weeks. I spent a lot of time searching the internet for success stories and it was exhausting but they are there. So it’s a waiting game.

I know how you feel… it’s all very terrifying. Hoping it works out for you. And it’s not necessarily over for you if this cycle doesn’t work out. Lots of 40+ women on this group that have achieved motherhood xxxx

I'm sorry, so frustrating. Hang in there! Hopefully it will be okay. xxMy lines look very similar to yours and I get my beta done today. I fear it will be low because the lines haven't been dark enough. I've seen other people have dark lines on day 8 and wondering why mine was so light.
