Nurse said I can come in tomorrow for another beta. Yes I would still go Wed, but tomorrow would be for me to have a better sense if numbers are going down. I guess I think it may help me prepare for the worst. Thoughts?

Re: Go for it?
Having been through three miscarriages, with three different sets of numbers (some good, some bad), I think they only tend to screw with your mind and are not a 100% positive indicator of anything. Especially if it hasn't been 48 hours or more.
But the most important thing is for you to do what's right for you. If you think it will give you knowledge sooner rather than later of what is to come and that will make you feel better, then go for it.
I'm very sorry you're going through this difficult time. I know how you feel.

I'm so sorry for you that you are going through this. If it was me I would go cause would find it harder not to but it's such a personal thing & how best you cope, I find waiting very hard.
Don't know what to say to make it feel better but thinking of you as are many of the others on here & I hope that makes you feel not alone in everything. Hugs! & FX it's just the disappearing twin thing I have heard that can make numbers temporarily go down.

I think I would go in tomorrow, just because I'd want to know as much as I can, as early as I can, about what is going on/happening -- even if it ends up being inconclusive. But that's just me.
I'm rooting for you either way!

Yours doesn't have to be a sad story
betas = hell for me. After going through my last betas ( every other day for 2 weeks!), I swore I would never do it again. If the end result is going to be the same, I would just wait it out. It's not worth the added stress and 24 hours will not make a huge difference in beta land.
I'm so sorry you find yourself in this situation. ((hugs))
