Pregnant after a Loss

2nd Betas are back

and they didnt double.

on Wed they were 260, Friday 421

Doctor wants me to get another blood test tomorrow and go from there. This is bad for me, huh? Honestly?

Re: 2nd Betas are back

  • My RE wants to see doubling every 72 hours, not 48.  He rarely even tests at 48 hours.  If I did the math right then your betas are on track to double within that 72 hour period.  I wouldn't say it's bad news yet.  Hang in there.  The waiting is the worst part.

  • It's certainly not what you want to hear, but we've definitely had slow rising beta success stories here. I would focus on the fact that they are rising for now and try to stay calm and wait for the next draw (although I totally know that may be impossible). Come on, LO, grow! ((HUGS))

  • You're doubling every 69 hours, and normal is every 31-72. So, they're slow, but still within normal range. (I used this site to calculate: https://www.countdowntopregnancy.com/tools/beta_doubling_calculator.php )

    I'm sending lots of good vibes your way. I hope the next set of betas looks better and everything works out for you and your LO!
