So a quick recap on my situation. Beta was scheduled for today, AF showed up on Wednesday. I called my RE and they told me to still have the beta and that I could go on Thursday. The nurse called me last night and my beta was 5, which is the minimum number for a (+) test. She told me to get retested sometime this weekend or definitely by Monday, because the number has to go below 5 for them to start a treatment cycle.
I am confused as to why my beta would come back at 5 when AF is here and is this considered a c/p? My understanding that a c/p happens when you get a (+) test and then AF shows.
My period was heavy Wed & Thursday and now its very light, really spotting. I don't want to get false hope in my head, I'm just trying to wrap my head around this situation.
Any insights would be appreciated.

You're very welcome. I am just so sorry you have to go through all of this. I am still praying that I am wrong though. Keep me posted. I am thinking about you. Hang in there sweetie.
yes, it sounds like a c/p. It takes a while with a miscarriage for the hCG levels to drop, so it's likely that your levels were low enough to allow you to get AF but still relevant enough to count as a positive pregnancy test.
For a c/p it's actually when you get a +HPT or +beta, but the pregnancy does not make it far enough to be detected on ultrasound.
I'm so sorry you are going through this.
