[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again, just got off the phone with the nurse and my HCG is 35.9. I asked if that seems really low, given than I am 16dpiui today and they said they are totally fine with that number, what matter is that it doubles in 48 hours so I have to go back on Weds for another beta.

I still feel like that number is low and makes no sense... but I guess only time will tell.

I triggered on Thursday July 27 at 11pm and had my IUI on Saturday the 29th. DH and I did not have sex at all after the IUI.

Is it possible to ovulate later than 48 hours with a trigger? I had one egg on each side so can they be released at different times?[/quote]

I have had 4 chemical pregnancies- they were all IVF, not IUI - but my betas were around there.  One was 23, one was in the 30's, one was around 12, and one as high as 50.  for IVF, my clinic likes to see a beta over 70 for 14DPO (which is 9 days past 5 days transfer).  I would be realistic with your expectations.  It MAY turn out ok, but it doesn't look good,

I am now on my third pregnancy (2 live births, and now in second trimester with another IVF recently).  All of those had beta over 100 on 14DPO.  my chemicals were all less than 50.

Just trying to provide info to help you guide your expectations, but in dealing with so many chemicals, I did read stories online of people who had those miracles with super low betas that turned out ok.  so it CAN happen.  I just don't like to get invested in the miracle stories, personally.[/quote]

Thanks for being real, sadly I have very low expectations as my last pregnancy was "off" from the beginning and my RE said it was just a matter of time before I miscarried. So low and behold another auspicious start and I don't have a ton of hope yet. I hope I am wrong though of course.[/quote]

Glad you appreciate my being real - i am the 9 IVF poster who everyone got so mad at for being pessimistic- I just think having gone through this many times expectations are KEY.  Rather be pleasantly surprised than hold out hope googling all these rare stories of freak low betas.[/quote]

NP and to be honest, it does seem a little low to me, but it depends on your ovulation date. I had an IUI last year, medicated (letrozole) with trigger. The IUI was 48 hours after the trigger, but by my calculations -- which included OPKs and temping, both of which I've had a lot of experience with -- I ovulated the day after the IUI, so approximately 72 hours after the trigger. On day 11 post ovulation, or day 12 post IUI, my beta was 49. Even that is not a super strong number, but it was a successful pregnancy.

Now I had prior pregnancies that had stronger betas and were not successful (including one that doubled appropriately) so the number alone isn't conclusive. But if 49 at 12 days post IUI is not super strong, 35 at 16 days post doesn't seem auspicious, I'm sorry to say. Unless, of course, you ovulated really late and it still implanted anyway.[/quote]
