Beta rollercoaster - any encouraging stories?

[Anonymous]

First beta 8dp5dt 49
Second beta 10dp5dt 63
Third beta 14dp5dt 376

We have had so many people say that first number not doubling means it’s not viable, but just wondering if anyone has had a bean that was a slow starter and it turned out okay?

Go back Monday for another beta!

good luck.
my 2 year old DD was a beta of 48 on 9dp5dt but her numbers doubled for the rest of the betas. my clinic had a threshold of 50 but because I came in at 6am that day for bloodwork they let me continue as they assumed it would have been 50 later that morning.

keep us posted.

My first two betas were similar to yours. Except my first beta was on 10 dp 5 day transfer.
They thought my pregnancy was ectopic.
That pregnancy is now a 16 year old junior in high school.
Good luck

Those are low numbers, OP. None of mine that started low like that made it, even if they doubled initially. Just letting you know so you can be prepared if it’s not great news later. Best of luck to you.

You should have fired that clinic. My 4 year old had a beta of 11 at 13 DPO. 11!

I didn’t do a transfer but a letrozole, ovidrel and timed intercourse cycle. These were my #s with my now 17 month old son. My clinic actually told me to prepare for a miscarriage with how little my HCG rose from 13-17dpo. Well…he’s 17 months and perfectly healthy!


* 11dpo: HCG= 27
* 13dpo: HCG= 58
* 17dpo: HCG= 160
* 21dpo: HCG= 797
* 25dpo: HCG= 2,515

I went in at 6 weeks 3 days for my first ultrasound and we saw a perfect little fetal pole with a heartbeat and my dr was actually shocked as they seriously were expecting a loss.
