low beta! so scared!

in Pregnant after IF
I took gonal f with an hcs trigger before my iui and one a week later and was so happy when I found out I am pregnant on Saturday, but I had my first beta on monday and it was only 36 and my progesterone was only a 10. The nurse said with numbers this low she has seen it go either way. My doctor has me doing vaginal prometrium inserts twice a day and resting with my feet up. I am just sick with worry, and my next beta is this morning. Then I will have to wait hours until I get the results back. This is the worst feeling ever. I feel like I'm in a nightmare that won't end. I was SURE everything was going to be ok and I pray to God that it still will. I saw some old threads on here of success stories with low initial betas. I hope I will be one of them. I am so sad, but I don't want to keep crying about this all night. My husband keeps telling me not to worry about it, but how can I not? this is so important to me. I already love this baby and will be grief stricken to lose it after all of this. With our son, who is 20 months, my first beta was 266. Please God let this turn out ok! I don't know how I will handle it if it doesn't. Is there anyone out there who has had success with a similar situation? also, if you read this and you pray, please pray for me!

    How many days after your IUI was your beta? It could be lower because it's earlier on still.  Regardless, I am sending positive vibes your way!

    My beta at 13dpo was only 14. I know that it's a horrible wait for that second beta, but I hope you get a great number!!

    Thanks for the positive vibes!  My IUI was on June 21, and my beta was on July 18th, so it has been like 27 days. I guess that's a long time for such a low beta. I just got back from my 2nd beta and the hours of waiting have started.  I am telling myself that it will be ok and we can celebrate tonight when we get good news. I don't even want to think about the other possibility!

    I don't believe that God ever tells us "no". he has three options. Yes, not right now, or I have something better in mind. We just have to wait & see. BabyFetus Ticker

    I found out today that my beta went down and that it was a biochemical pregancy, where you get the hormones but no baby develops.  I was really sad and frustrated when I found out, but now I just feel wiped out from all the worry of the last few days.  I am glad I will not be going through a miscarriage, because my husband is going out of town and that would be very hard on my own with my 20 month old.  It seems like a cruel joke for your body to play on you, but I am going to try to move past this and look on the bright side. Dr wants me to try again right away as soon as I get my period I am to call him to start the process again. I bet I'll get a real rager of a period! UGH. Well thank you for all of the responses! It is back to the fertility page for me. I hope to be back here soon, God willing!
