Betas are not good:(

I went in for my 4th beta today. It's not good-it only went up to 1200, so it didn't completely double in 4 days. They are having me come in tommorow for an ultrasound. I don't know how I am going to go through this again.

    Best of luck tomorrow!  My betas didn't double with my now 11 year-old daughter.   I can't remember the exact numbers now, but the result wasn't even close to double in 48 hours and obviously she was just fine. My Dr. Just sent me a copy of my beta results from this week in the mail and there was a big disclaimer at  the bottom that said the quantitative HCG numbers should be considered an estimate due to variabilities in testing.  I hope yours is just a case of normal lab variability!
