Monday was 131
Wednesday was 323
Today is 503
The nurse delivered it almost like bad news and I asked her what it means. She said it could be fine, but that also I may want to prepare myself; to keep taking my meds, and come back on Monday.
I didn't hold it together before I could make it out of my office to the restroom. I called DH, he started looking stuff up for me to calm me down... it's possible that it's still okay right? Oh, I'm just petrified right now.

It's close to the minimum increase of 1.6 that my RE likes to see (516) but not quite. You had a great double between beta 1 and 2. Did you have the beta drawn a lot earlier in the day than you did the second one? That could be playing a part, if you did. I know there have been ladies that have seen that kind of rise and everything turned out ok. Plenty of successes from slow rising betas. I would poll the ladies over on SAIF and see if they have had anything similar. Even though it didn't double, it did rise, which is a very good sign. And you are not that far off from doubling, so don't lose hope!
I hope you have a sticky one in there!!! {{HUGS}}}}
I'm starting to hate the word beta! Gah!
I thought the doubling time was 48-72 hours? You would definitely fit within that range. Hoping for the best for you!

I think there loads of hope! It rose and doubling can take 48-72 hours. Check out this beta website: https://www.betabase.info/showBasicChart.php?type=Single

I am so sorry. I hope everything works out.

I am so sorry hon.
Did you plug the times and numbers into beta base?
I think as long as you double in 48-72 hours, you are fine.
Sending T&Ps.
Unexplained Infertility
After two Clomid cycles, three injectable IUI cycles, two IVFs, two miscarriages, and one lap surgery, IVF #2 has brought us our little boy!
TTC #2
After months of being postponed or cancelled, FET #1.3 (Natural FET) brought us twin girls!
Twins born too early at 23 weeks due to incompetent cervix
FET #1, IUI #1, 2, 3, 4 - all BFN
IVF #3 BFP!!! IT'S A BOY! Born July 16th, 2011
FET #2 BFP! Due February 15, 2013
I'm so sorry it didn't double, but am hopeful everything will go OK. Sometimes I find the nurses are so used to delivering this information as part of their job, they forget that its a number we focus on unlike any other!
Keep us posted. I'm praying for you this weekend!
5 REs + 3 surgical hysteroscopies for septum/lap + 3 failed IUIs
IVF w/ICSI/AH & acu = BFP!, unexplained spontaneous m/c @ 8w2d (our little girl),
FET w/acu = BFP!, B/G twins!, lost MP @19w, dx w/funneling cervix @20w,
twins nearly lost to IC @21w, saved by rescue cerclage, 17P & 16w of bedrest
Our twins born @36w4d via CS when A came foot first
Thankful for every day
This. My RE is 1.7, but it's still close to that, so hopefully it's just a slow beta. Good luck and try not to stress too much this weekend (I know, easier said than done).
I was always under the impression that a good doubling could be anywhere from 24-72 hours (most of mine were 48-68 hour or so doublings, and only my first was 48h).
I am hopeful for you!
