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?

Thank you very much for your kind words, it's difficult as I still have rising beta albeit very low and slow, but they say it's not good. I don't know when it'll end. I am distraught, and have searched the internet but haven't found any cases like mie with such low numbers at 7 weeks. I don't know what's going on in my body. Until I miscarry, I can't move on at all. It's difficult and I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy :(

Hugs! Am so disappointed and speechless for you reading this update, and I can't say anything that you don't know, all I wish is that you come out of the pain soon and get back on track with your everyday normal life. After 4 failed cycles, we may need to look at alternate options such as donor egg or something.

you first heal yourself, get better, get over the pain and can then think about next steps.

It's not looking good for me, beta has only gone from 137 to 150 in 2 days, and nothing on scan... despite being 7 weeks pregnant! I'm being monitored for possible ectopic, if it's not that then the embryo isn't developing. I'm so sad, this is our 4th IVF, our 1st BFP which is going to end in tears :(
