First beta -- stupid doctor rant

in Pregnant after a Loss
OB called with first beta results from 13DPO and progesterone. Progesterone was good, so yay for that! Then he says "but your beta was low" and my heart is up in my throat... 61. At 13DPO? That's low? I had implantation cramping on the evening of 9DPO -- so less than 4 days later it's 61. I think that's pretty good! Beta Base has the median at 13DPO at 64, so I'm right in the middle. Why do doctors have to be so annoying? He started asking me if I'd had any bleeding or cramping, no and no, and he says "well, maybe you're just really early in pregnancy". Umm... yeah. 13DPO. *face palm*  You ladies ever feel like you know more than your medical professionals? Anyways, repeat betas are scheduled for Monday, so it would a week after the first draw. Pretty sure I won't be able to hold out that long and will likely be ordering them myself on directlabs.com this afternoon. Anywho, rant over!

    Ugh...frustrating.  I agree that 61 sounds totally reasonable! Sorry he seemed to be so misinformed.

    You ladies are awesome :)  I went ahead and ordered labs and had them drawn today so that I won't go crazy waiting until Monday. SO is running a 100 mile race this weekend and I want all my focus/worries to be on him and not my could-be betas. Should find out the results tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

    I think I started at 17? No clue on dpo as I had taken a break from charting/temping. Like PP have said, they've got to start somewhere! FX for doubling!! :):):)

    I had the same thing happen, my first beta was like 52 at 13-14 dpo.  It's all about the doubling!
