Hi Ladies, well I got my first Beta call today. (I'm on the IF board usually) The nurse said they want to see at least a 50 hcg level. Mine was a 38.5... she said congrats you're 4 weeks pregnant but your level is lower than we like to see. They want me back wednesday and hope to see it at least double. Anyone have a level like this and have a great second beta and healthy pregnancy? Trying not to stress out and would LOVE to hear your stories for encouragement. Nurse told me to be 'Cautiously Optimistic'...
4/23: 2nd beta in: only 48.9
4/25: 3rd beta in: 167!! its more than tripled... still super low (they want to see at least a 500-600 right now) but we are so happy that it's gone up... not out of the woods yet. Any success stories that started out like this please feel free to share...
4/30: 4th Beta: 1348! (great doubling time even though it's still low) 1st Ultrasound was today! Saw the gestational sac! No yolk sac yet because the gestational sac was measuring small at 4mm... 2nd ultrasound scheduled for this Sunday 5/4!
Anyone have a similar situation? Low Beta's and slow starter that carried full term?

It's SO silly when medical professionals say stuff like this. It's all about the doubling time. I always get very early betas, and thus, low betas. With this pregnancy, I got a beta of 15 the first time around. I just took it to mean that I'd correctly charted my ovulation and I was very early in my pregnancy.
However, my doctor doesn't "call it" until it's 25 or above. So I just called him back when I got my second draw 48 hours later, so he'd put it in the books.
GL with your next beta!

I hate when medical professionals make us worry like this! It's not fair. That is a positive beta, now you just want it to double, or almost double. Even the doubling is variable, so don't freak over that either. Right now, you are pregnant. Congratulations, and GL on your next beta.

Thank you all so much for the positive feedback! It definitely makes me feel better. I'll keep you posted on this thread on Wed after my second Beta!

My first beta with my current pregnancy was a 14 @ 10 DPO. 48 hrs later it was 99. Doubling time of 17 hrs and I'm pg with twins. So like the other ladies are saying it's really the doubling time, not the starting number.
Diagnosed MFI- low sperm count
DS-Born 7/27/11 After 2 years of IF we have our little man
Congratulations! I've heard that with FETs the numbers can start out lower. I agree with everyone else who sand that it is the doubling time that matters most. FX for a great rise!
Unexplained Infertility
After two Clomid cycles, three injectable IUI cycles, two IVFs, two miscarriages, and one lap surgery, IVF #2 has brought us our little boy!
TTC #2 After months of being postponed or cancelled, FET #1.3 (Natural FET) brought us twin girls!
Yesterday I went for my first ultrasound and saw my little bean's heartbeat.
Stay optimistic and think positive thoughts.
Married on October 20, 2012. Began trying in January 2013. RE appointment & testing December 2013 - February 2014= Unexplained IF, possible endometriosis IUI#1- March 22 (100mg clomid, 75 mg of Bravelle, Ovidrel trigger) = BFP!!!
My first beta was 26. Then rose rapidly. That first beta does little more than stress us out, right? Keep your head up....and congratulations on your pregnancy!

Pregnant without intervention - 7/2012 Sweet Baby James Born 3/2013 Decided to be "One and Done"
....OR NOT. Pregnant 12/2018 despite birth control pills Here we go again... Due 8/26/19!
Mine started out low, not as low as yours, but low enough for me to obsess over (53.4), and it just barely doubled by second beta (108). Currently 8 weeks and definitely not in the clear yet, but I have been discharged.from rma.
FET do tend to start out with lower betas. I drank a ton of water between beta 2 and 3 and my numbers finally shot up.
Try not to stress. Know that regardless of the outcome it is out of your hands and there is nothing you can do. Be positive. Today you are pregnant.. congrats!! Best of luck
Thank you all SO much for the positive words of encouragement! I read last night that Clear Blue Easy digital needs 50 HCG level or higher to detect a pregnancy. So after having 38.5 yesterday I decided to test with the digital this morning (I tested with one two days ago and it said 'Not Pregnant' even though I was getting faint positives with FRER. Well needless to say this morning the Clear Blue Digital showed me the best gift I've ever gotten... 'PREGNANT'. I was so excited! No idea if my numbers are doubling but I do know that they're rising!! Will keep you all posted after tomorrow's beta, thank you again xoxo

Secondary infertility success with IVF, then two losses, one at 14 weeks and one at 10 weeks, then success with IUI and then just pure, crazy luck. Expecting our fifth in May as the result of a FET.
Hi ladies! i'm not out of the woods yet but I just updated my first post above...
First beta was 38.5, second was 48.9 and today's shot up and more than tripled to 167! Still super low but I'm happy with the progress... now we wait till wed for more blood work and our first ultrasound to hopefully see the gestational sac!
Fingers crossed and lots of prayers now till then. Thank you allll for your support xoxo

Yay! That's good it's still increasing. How many dpt/DPO are u? Have u checked betabase to see how your numbers look compared to others? It might worry you more or it could put your mind at ease.
Diagnosed MFI- low sperm count
DS-Born 7/27/11 After 2 years of IF we have our little man
@BabyKsMommy I'll have to check Betabase! When I look at the beta calculators online my numbers obviously don't look great because they took 146 hours the first two betas and then between the second and third beta they doubled in 44 hours... I bought the clear blue easy weeks predictor tests. Currently I'm only showing on their tests at 1-2 weeks (I'm nuts and called Clear blue help line and asked them because I couldn't find ANYWHERE online the levels of HCG that each qualifies for 1-2, 2-3 and 3+ weeks. They told me it's 5-156 hcg for 1-2 weeks, 156-2600 for 2-3 weeks and 2600+ for 3+ weeks. So if I keep doubling the way I should be hopefully by Tues or Wed I should show up as 3+ weeks (that will help ease my mind before the actual Beta and Ultrasound on Wed! haha
I'm currently 19dpo (I had my FET on 4/12 with 2 Five Day Blasts)
