Need Some Encouragement Please

in Pregnant after 35

Ladies,

I am 13dpo and had my first beta draw today.  I am feeling let down and need some encouragement; it was only 49, with progesterone of 58.   I was so hoping for a higher beta.   My next draw is on Friday and pray it doubles and then some.  I am also troubled that I started getting faint BFPs on 9dpo with Wondfos and at 13dpo it is still so low.   Have any of you had a low first beta?

I appreciate your support. 

Me, 41; DH 38; TTC since July 2012, 1st round of Clomid, BFP on 10/19, what an incredible blessing!  M/c on 7w3d; D&C on 11/30; 4th round of Clomid 100mg = BFP on 04/19!!! M/c #2 at 7w; D&C on 5/30, then repeat D&C on 7/1.  Saline u/s on 8/2, uterus looks great!  Will start TTC in 09/13 w/ Clomid 100mg. Surprise natural BFP on 8/25!!! Beta #1=95, #2=182, #3=404!  EDD 5/4/13...Grow baby grow!

    I can't help with the beta #s I can't remember what mine were when I was pregnant with my daughter and this pregnancy they didn't even have me come in for bloodwork just went in for an ultrasound around 6 weeks to confirm the pregnancy and date it.

    Hopefully yours will turn out better because mine started at 1608 on monday and today dropped to 200 which confirmed my miscarriage since am bleeding.  so hopefully yours double even though they are low that way you have hope they will keep climbing.

    I'm sorry you didn't get a higher number but I have seen many success stories that started with low betas.  I didn't get them done this time.  Also that is a great progesterone level so you should feel great about that.  Good luck and

    I've been through the hCG roller coaster 3 times now...i feel your pain.  What i have learned through all of this (one pregnancy was twins) is that the number really is less important than the fact that it at least doubles within 48 hours.

    I can tell you that my lines on my HPT were very faint, even when the numbers were doubling.  Fortunately, I eventually ran out of tests and stopped torturing myself.  FX for doubling Betas on Friday.

    I wouldn't worry about the first number,  what really matters is that is doubles by Friday.  I know it is a stressful time.  One good thing is your progesterone level is rockin'!!!  Keep us posted.

    Remember wondfo's register hcg at very low levels so when you were 9dpo your beta could have been under 10. I know it's hard not to worry but I think your beta is a good number for 13dpo and your progesterone # is really great! Best of luck Friday!
