Beta is in....I am a little pregnant?

The nurse just called and told me to be cautiously optimistic.  My beta is 15.

What does this mean????  Has anyone had a healthy pregnancy with a low beta????

I feel like I am being tortured!!!  The re said typically they like to see 100+ at this point.
What am I suppose to think??  Any advice, please!

I don't know how many days past O I am.  How do you figure that out with IVF.  I don't think you can.  I am 13 days past ET.  I think I may go against my DH's wishes and get an EPT to see if it shows up.  I'll let you all know the result.  Wish me luck!

Every # starts somewhere :) It could have taken a little longer for it to implant, too. If beta was a 15 and it doubles every other day, you should be able to do an hpt (not frer but one that registers higher) on Tues and see if is bfp. It would absolutely kill me to wait til Thursday! Geeze! Frer would already show bfp, but, I think equate or answer are sensitive at 50. Good luck! I can hardly wait to hear the good news!!

Congrats!!!!

Thanks for your emotional support!

You are definitely pregnant since the only way your Beta goes up is when the embryo makes contact with your body and send s hcg to your blood.
Right now you have to look at the doubling its the most important thing.
Hopefully its only a late implant and everything is going to be OK.
I wish you all the best and SSSSSSSSBD.
Keep us posted,

omg, that is just so mean!  another wait... but you have to look at the positive, you didn't get a NEGATIVE!  Be happy and don't stress.  Play classical music to your belly and read children's books to it and hope for the best.  That little bugger is-a-fightin' in there!  I have the silliest remedies, but hey, what if it works?!

I am so sorry low beta only prolongs your torture.  If your # goes up strongly you are OK.  I don't think one can tell what's going on without looking at how your hcg level goes up.  
Are you re-testing on Tuesday?
