Low betas - positive stories needed

[Kg44]

Hi ladies, this is my first time posting here!

I’m currently 2 miscarriages down (1 IVF and 1 natural both at 6 weeks) and 4 transfers along my journey with the 4th bringing me a positive pregnancy test but the following betas:

11dp7dt - 1st beta - 33

14dp7dt - 2nd beta - 56

They’ve asked me to go back on Wednesday for another beta and she said ‘you never know’ but I’m pretty certain this isn’t going to end well 💔

Anyone have any positive stories of hope they can share? 🙏🏻

hello lovely,

You aren’t alone! I am having a similar experience.

9dp5dt 20

13dp5dt 56

I have my third beta today. At 17dp5dt.

Stay hopeful 💕

[Kg44 in reply to Bee_86]

Oh so similar ! Praying for you. Isn’t this just the worst being stuck in limbo. When do you get your results back? Best of luck! My third is tomorrow at 16 days… x

[Kg44 in reply to Kg44]

How did you get on today? Fingers are crossed for you xx

[Bee_86 in reply to Kg44]

Hello, so sorry for my slow reply.

My 3rd beta was 269. It MORE than doubled :)))))

[Kg44 in reply to Bee_86]

Congratulations! Pleased for you! Do you have more betas scheduled or straight to your early scan? Keep us posted on your journey! X

Currently going through beta hell too!.. first hcg 9dp5dt was 19 and today (11dp5dt) it is 39

[Kg44 in reply to LadyM2019]

I'm so sorry! It's hell!! Are you having a 3rd in a few days to compare? Wishing you all the luck!

[LadyM2019 in reply to Kg44]

I’m waiting to hear what their advice is but I imagine I’ll be having another blood test in a couple of days 🙈 total nightmare! Thank you I really hope you get on ok too 🍀 x

[Kg44 in reply to LadyM2019]

Keep me posted when you know more! I’ll update after my 3rd beta results tomorrow too x

[LadyM2019 in reply to Kg44]

The advice was test again in 48 hours! 🙏 it at least doubles x

to update I’ve just had my 3rd beta and it came back as 94…

So

33 - 11dp7dt

56 - 14dp7dt

94 - 16dp7dt

They want me to go in again tomorrow (17dp7dt) for a scan and more bloods. To rule out ectopic.. I didn’t think you could see anything this early on a scan though?

Anyone have any experience with this?

Thank you!😩

[LadyM2019 in reply to Kg44]

I haven’t but I wonder if they want to check things out before they close for Christmas?.. I agree - don’t imagine much can be seen at this point x

[Kg44 in reply to LadyM2019]

are you headed back tomorrow for your 3rd? Hoping you have a better outcome than me! X

[LadyM2019 in reply to Kg44]

I am 🙈 I can’t say I feel too optimistic! X

[Kg44 in reply to LadyM2019]

Well best of luck to you! I will have everything crossed! Keep me posted when you know more and likewise I’ll do the same xx

[LadyM2019 in reply to Kg44]

Hcg 140 today.. Waiting for advice/next steps. Hope all went ok today x

[Kg44 in reply to LadyM2019]

that’s good!! You’ve doubled so that must be a good sign. Are your clinic happy with it? Do you have next steps? I’ve had a scan this morning and they couldn’t see anything at all (good news as ectopic didn’t seem likely) but they said it could still just be too early. I’ve been referred to the EPAU who have booked in a scan and bloods in a weeks time… I think I will have miscarried by then though 💔

[LadyM2019 in reply to Kg44]

The next step is another beta hcg 😆 in two days time..! I got an email from the nurse following her discussion with the consultant. All it said is your hcg is definitely increasing but the doctor would like another hcg in two days to “confirm the direction of the pregnancy”. I have to phone the results in, so there might be a bit more of a conversation then 🤷‍♀️ What a relief ectopic has been ruled out. I hope next week brings more clarity and there’s good news.. this being in limbo is truly awful x

[Kg44 in reply to LadyM2019]

Hello! Was just thinking of you - did you have your test done today? 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

[LadyM2019 in reply to Kg44]

I did, it’s risen a lot (591) so no need for more blood tests at the minute. I’ve to arrange a scan in the New Year but this couldn’t be booked today because no one has accesss to the appointment booking system 🙈 The clinic is closed so was just dealing with the on call person. I hope you don’t have too much longer to wait until your scan xx

[Kg44]

yeah probably.. 🥺 would pretty much like this to be over now. So sad xx

[Ms_here]

really feel for you all going through this. Not sure what to say…. Please look after yourselves whatever the outcome xxx

[Kg44 in reply to Ms_here]

Thank you 💔 xx

[Kg44]

hi all, update is I’ve had my bloods re-done at 6+1 and HCG was 761. I’m so confused. They don’t seem concerned… has anyone had this happen before and it ended positively?
