Hi ladies! I just ordered all of my IVF meds. Was waiting for my period and sure enough for my BFP...we were is shock! Because of my past miscarriage and our fertility issues my dr wanted me to get my beta checked. I'm 4 weeks give or take a day or 2 my beta was only 20. I'm worried. Yesterday's FRER was lighter than today's but I was hoping for a higher beta! Any success stories with a low starting beta?
Congrats!! My first beta was 16 at 12dpo, but by 14dpo was 67. I was told it's less about the value and more about the doubling time.. My RE was very optimistic and happy with the 67 at my second draw..
I went in for my first ultrasound on Friday 10/30, and baby was measuring 6w5d with a heart rate of 135. My RE said I am right on track and baby is developing perfectly.
Are you going back for a second beta? Keep us posted on those results!!
One of my first betas was 35 I think at 13dpo (it's been 5 years and ended up as our first baby!) I would wait for the second beta and be hopeful! When I read low beta I was thinking 10 or less and those usually are too low.
Good luck!

I don't think your beta is too terribly low considering how early on it is. Good luck and let us know what the second beta is! Also, if your test is getting darker, that's a positive sign. No pun intended.

Beta only went up 5? Why did I even get pregnant? This is so annoying. I was already to start IVF. Thanks for the encouraging posts! Hopefully I'll be on this board soon!
Mine did the same last month . It was infuriating . It gave me some hope that I could get pregnant but felt like a sick game . I got so excited only to be immensely disappointed . Hugs !!

@alexiskiriluk I'm so sorry.. Same has happened to me, low betas that eventually dropped. I found out I was pregnant on the due date of my miscarriage, and then a couple days later I lost that one too. It's bs. I needed meds to make a good egg, hopefully ivf brings your rainbow.
So sorry @alexiskiriluk ... That really is a sick joke FX everything passes quickly and you can move on to your treatment as planned. Take good care of yourself...
@alexiskiriluk Oh no. I am sorry. I hope your first round of IVF treatment sticks and you are right back here with us. I am sorry you are going through this, what a cruel trick.

I'm ok. I'm sorry that month was a bust for you!! I'm moving on to IVF. I feel like I was paying close to if not over 2k for an iui and getting nowhere. Just don't think it's going to work for me....I'm going to get brought the holidays and enjoy my family. I feel like I need to step back and take some down time. However, every month my eggs are getting older :-/ How did your appointment go? Are you starting meds for another round this month?
Re: First beta really low

Are you going back for a second beta? Keep us posted on those results!!
