Worrying Beta Numbers... HELP!
Last Wed (22/02) I did my first beta (14dp2dt)... it came back BFP with 41 (low but still possible). Then the doctor said to do another test Monday (27/02) which came back at 40... I was gutted and have cried for 2 days. I was told to do a 3rd beta today (29/02)... I was sure it would come back lower but it has actually gone up SLIGHTLY to 42... WHAT? So my beta has stayed almost the same for a week, very low! Yet I have pregnancy symptoms (sore breasts, twinges in stomach)... what is going on? I thought it was a chemical pregnancy, but now I'm not sure. Could it be ectopic? I have no bleeding. Has anyone else had similar results?
Not to discourage you or to make you feel bad, my first beta was 15, then itself nurse said it may not work, later it went upto 74,nuse wasn't hopeful still, later it went upto 246, and next day, i started bleeding, slow raising numbers are not a good sign in my experience, it has to double double and double each 48 hours. :(.
I am so confused but who knows. i have never heard of it going up this slowly. but and increase is and increase. usally if u mc they go down right away.
Ok, it's been 12 days since my first beta... in the last 6 days my beta has increased from 42 to 48... I was told to expect a miscarriage a week ago, but now my beta has increased slightly... I don't understand?!!! I am so confused, have spent the last week grieving except now the beta increases slightly... Dr says it doesn't look good but I have to stay on progesterone etc and do another beta in 2 days?! Doesn't anyone have any thoughts on this, I'm going crazy!
Thanks girls for your support. I have to do one last beta monday, but I still have no cramp or bleeding so I don't know whats happening with my body. It's awful.
girl i am so sorry!!!! i would be mad at the re also.
i have never had my betas do what yours are doing. mine doubled from 1 to 2 but on the 3rd it went up by just a little and 4th it went down. i pray if this is not meant to be that your levels will drop quickly and u can start a new cycle soon.

I am so sorry to hear that Blue, i know how it feels its neither BFN nor a BFP i have gone through with what you are going through, my prayers are with you....
