hCG didn't double...very worried...would be my first loss...

We have been trying for 13 months now...this first ever positive pregnancy test and is the result of our second IUI...I got my BFP 1/20/14 and my beta that day was 192 (was 12dpo so I figured I was doing good!).  Then today it was only 219, and I'm 14dpo.  Should have been 290-380 something...nurse said, "chances of this being a successful pregnancy might now be on the lower side..."   <--fabulous....thank you.

I had a quick cry...

Just so uncomfortable these last few days...no alcohol, no allergy meds, no antidepressant, and I have Lupus and take meds for that, that I ALSO stopped Monday because of the great news...so tired and bloated and finding out maybe it's all for nothing...:-(

I have to keep my head up until I hear Friday...but needless to say, I'm not very hopeful.  Here come more tears...

Anyone else getting betas tested?  Anyone have slow rising betas from past pregnancies that turned out alright?

  • I'm not that familiar with betas, but I'm hoping for the best for you.

  • This is what happened to me last summer with my losses. My numbers were a lot lower, but they went down. I'm so sorry you are dealing with this. Are you going back for another check? FX for you!!
  • Thank you everyone for caring!  We're obviously not sharing with anyone right now because it's too early, so it's nice to "talk" to someone! 

    I got back Friday for recheck.....fingers and toes crossed.

  • For what its worth, there are so many things to effect the number, did you test at the same time or earlier than your first test? You are looking for a 60% increase in 48 hours or a double in 72, i would not give up hope yet, just wait it out and see what happens, sometimes life has a way of surprising us...
    Good luck...

    Started TTC in 2006, LOTS of trying, and trying, and 7 rounds of IVF with 13 embryos, 2 perfect little boys and 5 loses....
    All finished with babies, started to make diet changes, Keto, to be MORE for my kids, lost 30 pounds, still going, and 3 months in, I had a natural cycle, and then ovulated... Hubs and I are going to see what happens now... Maybe a natural pregnancy? After everything we have been through? Or just a return to normal hormones? We shall see what the future holds!
