Success after IF

beta levels...help!

Hi everyone,

My husband and I have been TTC for 2 years. Last week I had blood drawn before going in for my laparoscopy.
Well my first beta came back as a 6.
I was only 11 dpo I believe.
Surgery was canceled.
Two days later, it came back as a 15.
Fast forward a week later and it was a 60.
So the numbers are rising but very slow and they're not doubling :-(
Is there a chance I can still have a healthy pregnancy??
Anyone have a similar experience?

Thanks!!!

  • I'm sorry hun, but I'm guessing this is not going to end well.  I've seen successful with slow rising betas, but 15 to 60 after a week is awfully slow.

  • This sounds similar to my slow rise, which sadly resulted in an ectopic pregnancy.

  • I know someone who had that happen recently and it was an ectopic pregnancy. :( I'm sorry.

  • My beta went from 160 to 220 in 5 days, and I was told at the time that I had either an ectopic or a nonviable pregnancy. Fast forward 15 weeks, and I'm now 20 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby boy. Bad numbers usually mean bad outcomes, but not always. It's not over til its over! Hugs.
