Re: Beta 1
From everything I've read and heard HCG numbers can vary wildy from person to person so as long as the doc tells you its good and it keeps rising then you should be fine.
I also have had some cramping off and on and am just a little over 6 weeks. I've been told everything is fine and its completely normal so I wouldn't worry.
Best of luck and keep us posted after your next beta!

TTC #1** Went off BCP July 2011
Me: 31 DH:31
Jan 2012 Dx PCOS by OB/Gyn
July 2012 - Tests with RE confirmed PCOS and annovulation
My first beta was low also. I would try your hardest not to worry. The doubling is what matters not the actual number at first.
I did have some minor cramping in the begining.. my RE said it could be due to the progesterone.
T&P and keeping you in my thoughts!
I am also on Crinone, so maybe that's a reason!

Same here, till 11wks. My RE said that the Crinone can cause some mild cramping.
If it gets bad, or your having a lot of pain I would def call. Other than that I would not worry too much. A little cramping is normal I have been told.
