From IF: are there any success stories starting with low beta and spotting?

in Pregnant after IF
I had my first beta yesterday which came back lower that what I would have liked, 29.5. I have been having some VERY light spotting since Friday. I'm trying to be cautiously optimistic about beta #2 tomorrow. Any one have a similiar situation with a healthy pregnancy?

    Remember, doubling time is most important. I was worried about my first beta, too. It was only 45 I think (details are in my sig). But my doctor also reminded me that I was only 12 dpiui, so it was still "early" to test beta levels. Maybe that could be the case with you, too. Either way, best of luck to you! (PS. Brown spotting is normal, too).

    I also had low beta's (details in siggy) and I'm about to be 10 weeks.  Never had any spotting but my beta didn't even double between 1 and 2.  By the third it had caught up.

    I know it's impossible but try not to worry too much!  T&P!
