Help! Beta questions (TW possible loss) **UPDATE**

I posted last week about slow growth on my ultrasounds and now there is more to the story since I have betas drawn. I would love any insight y'all have. 

Ok here are my stats: 
Monday and Thursday ultrasound (different machines) both measured 5w6d, there was growth but not enough to change the days and no heartbeat yet. Both are possible considering when I could have ovulated since that's up in the air. Dr said to be "cautiously optimistic"
Beta on Friday - 47,120
Beta today (3days later) - 73,000
So rising, but nurse said they may be a little high for not having been able to see anything on Thursday. 
Tell me what you know?! Are they too high? What do you think? I don't think it's molar because everywhere I read says that shows up like a cluster of grapes on an ultrasound.

Well I had my follow up ultrasound today and I measured exactly 6week6days and we saw a strong heart beat at 125. It was awesome, I think it was the most clear I have seen a heart beat from all of my children!

Thank you so much for all your help and thoughts through this!

  • No advice here either, but hoping you get good news.
  • I'm in the mind frame that you shouldn't worry, as hard as it is not to, until the doctor tells you to. Feeed yourself some positive energy tonight and know our FX for you!

  • I'm not sure either, but I've been checking in for an update for you since last week! If your doctor said to be cautiously optimistic, then I'm with your doctor. Keeping my fingers crossed!

  • I've been in a similar situation. My OB said as long as the betas rise, he's happy. I specifically asked if they needed to double and he said, no, early on, the definitely don't have to double. I had also been told in the ER that they should see an embryo with my beta (it was 7,100 and I was supposed to be 6 weeks at the time). My OB said its so variable, that he's ultra sounded women with betas of 40-50,000, still with no visible embryo. 

    I go go back for another u/s tomorrow and am hoping for the best. I don't think you're out yet. I know it's hard, but be patient and give it time.

  • I hope everything goes well. I dont have a similar story but know others  who have and sometimes it takes a little longer for things to progress. Its not much help but I will keep you in my thoughts.
  • I think it's a good sign your levels are rising. When do you go back for another ultrasound? If you're doctor says stay positive, you should! FX and Best of luck!

  • It's transvaginal ultrasound, and my next one will be on Thursday.  I am feeling more optimistic after getting my betas back then I did after just having ultrasound.  Now just waiting until Thursday to see what we can see
