My beta's aren't doubling like hoped. At 13 dpo they were 29. At 17 dpo they were 60. Not good. So any thoughts and prayers you can spare would be appreciated. I will go back in tomorrow at 19 dpo. I'm kind of hopeful it was because they were drawn at 2 different labs, but of course don't feel too hopeful.
Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle! April 2011 CP @ 5 weeks
Lots of T&P your way. Come on betas pick up speed!
4 losses (cp Feb 28 09, mc April 9 09 (5w5d), mc Aug 10 09 (7w1d), d&c Apr 12 10 (grew to 6w3d, mc confirmed at 8w5d).
RX: Overies PCOS (hormones normal) & Balanced Translocation of Ch. 7 & 13 (40-50% mc risk)
There can be a huge difference between different labs, and I am speaking from personal experience... but when I had my ectopic, the hospital gave me a beta of about 11000 at the same day that Shady Grove gave me one of 12000, so take heart in that. I am sending you TONS of sticky dust. You so deserve to be a mom, Kristy, and I *want* that for you so much!

"And can it be that in a world so full and busy, the loss of one weak creature makes a void in any heart, so wide and deep that nothing but the width and depth of vast eternity can fill it up." - Charles Dickens

My fingers are crossed for you!! I had labs done with my second M/C on the same day one at the Dr's office sent to Quest labs and at the Blood Place at Labcorp and they were drastically different. (Like off by 5-10units from each other sorry I don't remember the exact) The doctors office claimed the lab my insurance uses is less reliable. I'm really hoping it's just lab stupidity!!

Hope you get great numbers today! Different labs definitely have different numbers, so much so that the normal ranges are often different between labs. Will keep you in my thoughts.

Oh hun! I hope and pray that you just have a slow starter and that your beta more than doubles the next time! Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. ((hugs))
