Beta's aren't doubling

KristysRedBarnKristysRedBarn
in TTC After a Loss 6 Months+
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.

    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!

    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.
