Low Betas

in Pregnant after IF

Hello everyone!  This is my first post on this board, but I have posted a little on the 3 T board.  I have to admit that I haven't been on the board much in the last few weeks, mostly due to a vacation and a sefl-imposed break from TTT.  I was lucky enough to get my first BFP on 8/11/11.  I thought getting pregnant would be the hard part!  I am 5 weeks today and had my first beta done at 12 dpo= 32.  My second was done 14 dpo= 48, and my third was done 18 dpo= 152.  I know these numbers are low, and I am freaking out because I have to go back for another beta tomorrow and am not sure what to expect.  I am wondering if anyone else had has low betas in the beginning and went onto have successful pregnancys.  DH and I have been trying for over a year, and I really want this to stick!  Any insight is greatly appreciated!  Congrats and a healthy pregnancy to all!

    Yep, my 13dpo was 40.8, so right in between your 12 and 14dpo draws.  Everything's been fine so far and I'll be 30 weeks tomorrow!  Good luck with your next beta!

    Those aren't low, and they are doubling, so I think you're good!

    Thank you for the encouragement everyone!  I just got off the phone with the nurse at my RE's office, and she said my beta from this morning is 583- 22 dpo.  It still seems low to be but it doubled in 2.1 days or so the beta calculator tells me!  She did not seem to be too concerned at this point so I feel much better!
