Low Beta hell and living the unknown..... (warning BFP mentioned)

cmd821979

Hello everyone!  Well the title pretty much says it all!  I am living in Beta Hell right now!  I am currently 19dp3dt,and have had 3 beta's done.....

Beta #1 11dp3dt = 14

Beta #2 14dp3dt = 36

Beta #3 18dp3dt = 123

So I have admit that after my first beta and the not so reassuring phone call from the clinic telling me to expect a miscarriage I completely counted myself out. Now..... I know my numbers are still super low but they are rising with a 2.2 day doubling time so I am starting to think perhaps there might be some hope..... This is soooooooo confusing.  I didn't know after the 2ww I would continue to wait - haha mine should have been called the 4+ww!  

Anyone else going through this same waiting game right now or in the past?

The doubling time looks good.  FX for you.

Thanks for the quick replies.  I have a 4th beta scheduled for Thursday the 24th.  Strangely enough last night/today is the first time I have really had any symptoms.  Last night I was sooooooo tired I went to bed at 7:30pm and slept soundly until 5am this morning (got up to pee at 2am but fell right back to sleep) and today my bb's hurt for the first time since a few days after my trigger.  

Limbo truly is not a fun place to be.  Granted I will take being in limbo if I get a happy result in the end!  So trying to be positive without getting my hopes up there too much.  

So nice to know other women out there going through IVF and the waiting and the emotions that come with it!

i am going through something similar
9 dp 5dt 12.5
11 dp5dt 10
13 dp5dt 22 (dark brown spotting once when wipped TMI)
15 dp5dt 77
17 dp5dt 240
19 dp5dt 930
21 dp5dt 1500 (saw sac)

i go back thurs to see if sac grew.  doctor said at this point it could go either way.

Hi lbro26 - I am definitely keeping my fingers crossed for you!  So frustrating - but hoping when you go back Thursday the sac will have grown!  I have pretty much had spotting since my ER and even had some red blood (TMI!) over the weekend for about an hour each day......  I was sure that was it and I was done for but it never really progressed and #'s still went up, our bodies are so tricky and confusing.

lbro26

its just awful...i have 3 previous chemical pregnancy's so this was nothing new but my numbers have never gotten higher that 75.  i am trying to stay positive and keep in mind that i have go further than i even have.  Next cycle if this ends i will be on lovenox as well.  Good Luck!

I will send good thoughts your way!

All of my preg's have started with very low numbers.  One of them actually stuck out of 4.  There is definitely hope as long as the numbers keep doubling & don't start going back down.

BLISS KISS

My prayers are with you. Keep the faith. Your still doubling. My friend started this low too. She had a false HPT 's( including beta day). However, her dd is 5 now and very healthy and happy. Please be encouraged.

I am hopeful for you and lbro36. Good luck! I thought that 48-72 doubling was within the normal range.

Good luck to both you ladies. Fingers crossed.

Just wanted to update...went yesterday and we saw a yolk sac...it is growing great and my beta was just where it should be( forgot to ask #) lol  go next week to see if we have a heart beat.

cmd821979

@lbro26 Congrats - that is wonderful news..... hoping you see that wonderful heart beat next week. Sadly my numbers were not great - they only went up to 167 from 123 over three days.  Now I really just am hoping its not ectopic and can stops the crinone and estrace soon and just have everything end naturally so we can move on and I can focus on the next cycle in a few months.
