Low betas - positive stories needed

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? 🙏🏻

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

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!😩

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

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

Kg44 profile image
Kg44 in reply toLadyM2019

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 💔

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

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

LadyM2019 profile image
LadyM2019 in reply toKg44

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

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?
