Looking for Success Stories for Low Betas (loss mentioned)

in Pregnant after IF

Hello,

 I posted this message on SAIF as well, but I thought I should post here as well.

 I've posted on TTTC once or twice, but I'm mostly a stalker.  I know that the ladies over there usually recommend to come to this board if someone needs a boost, which I guess is what I'm looking for right about now.  I am 29 and my DH is 35.  Currently, I'm under the care of an RE and we've found that I have ovulation problems due to low AMH (0.22) and high FSH (11).   We started with the IUI process in April with the 1st one being a bust.  The 2nd IUI I became pregnant, but miscarried at 5w5d.  Today was my first beta draw for my 3rd IUI and it came back as 5miu, so they will be retesting on Monday to see if the numbers rise or drop.  Realistically, I know it's pretty low after the 2ww and might be a c/p (I started lightly spotting a bit after I got home from the RE's), but I was just curious if anyone here has had a successful pregnancy with the first beta being extremely low like this.

I appreciate any answers!  Thanks!

    A low beta is better than nothing!  Mine are all in my siggy, and they told me it was not viable and that it was ectopic, and she was just pokey.  So don't give up hope!  Try to relax and stay positive and I know how hard it is.

    As a side note, I just updated my siggy to say that the baby has a heart problem - but I have seen a ton of doctors and they all agree that it had nothing to do with her slow start, it is just a random thing, so don't worry about that :)  I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

    I just replied on SAIF.  My first beta was only 23 and my HPT looked like a BFN that morning.  You never know, some embryos are slow-pokes.
