  I have not had this happen, but I think they look more at the pattern of betas, not just where the numbers are at. Your numbers are more than doubling, which is a great sign. Like your doc said, you may have implanted later than expected. GL!

  Sorry you are in beta limbo. I don't have experience with this. Did you do PGS testing on this embryo? When are they going to get you in for an ultrasound to see what's going on?

  1on the bright side, you are at 195 and 195 seems like a steady number. Like pp said, you are more than doubling. Fingers crossed for you!

  Current Treatment: Metformin, Provera, Letrozole, Trigger, IUI
  Past Treatment: Clomid + Metformin x 3 BFN

My RE was cautious at first, but each week has progressed properly and things are looking great. Fx for you and good luck on Friday!

  @LSatturo126 siggy=signature (at the bottom of my post)  I'm glad I was able to help lift your spirits! This part of the process has been far more taxing than any other.
  
  My RE thinks I just had a late implanter. It can occur anywhere from 1-5 days after transfer, so I was probably a day 5. They monitored me closely for the past 4 weeks but are happy with the progress. I graduated and start with my OB next week  
  
  Hang in there, I have high hopes for you! Let us know what happens!

  My beta started at 45 and doubled well afterwards. I am at 32 weeks now. However I did not have IVF so it might not be too related. But I remember reading your posts in IF board and got excited to see your BFP, wanted to say good luck with US tomorrow . I am excited to see your good results !

  Well today we went in for our 5wk 1d US. All is looking good. Better than what the dr thought it would be. Gas Sac and Yolk sac and even a small fetal pole. We will be waiting another week to hear the heartbeat.

  @LSatturo126 your story gives me so much hope!  My betas have been low but still doubling (14.5, 28.7, 58.8).  I've had some cramping/spotting but it's letting up. I'm going for a 5 wk US tomorrow to see if it's real and make sure it's in the right place.  I keep holding on to your story to get me through this weekend, thanks so much for sharing it.
