Getting ready to start IVF and got a surprise BFP. Beta is very low.

I have been stalking this board and occasionally posting so im sorry if this is inappropriate to post here. I had a miscarriage in March. 2 failed IUIs since and just ordered my IVF meds waiting for my period to start our first cycle. For fun a took a pregnancy test. Sure enough, I got a faint positive. I was in so much shock I was shaking! First unmedicated cycle in a long time! I'm probably just 4 weeks. Because of our issues and my miscarriage this past winter my DR wanted me to come in for blood work. Beta was only 20. Going back in on Wednesday for follow up. But is this bad news?

    Congrats!! I don't think it's bad news yet. A low beta can still result in a healthy pregnancy! Its more important that the number doubles every 48 hours. Good luck Wednesday!!

    Beta only went up to 25. I'm out. Just waiting to see what my levels are on Friday. Praying it's not chemical! The worst part is today was my due date for my last miscarriage. It's unreal....thanks for the prayers. I'll see you back on this board real soon hopefully. Good luck to you all! Hoping you get your sticky BFP soon!
