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?
'm so very sorry for the way your dr treated u. maybe she needs to know how hurtful that was. She should be more sensitive considering what she is a dr of. Big hug>:D< . God can always preform miracles. i know for now there is no hope but Friday it will either be up or down so until it drops just relax. Prepare yourself for the worse but still hope for the best. I am praying for u.
Hello, what an absolute b---ch! they might see situations of micarriages daily but to speak like that over such a sensitive thing is unhuman and uncaring. I feel for you and hope IF
a miscarriage is going to happen that it be sooner rather than later so you can move forward and think of your next step. I have had 4 unsuccessful ivf's all ending up bleeding after the 2ww. You havnt miscarried yet and there is always HOPE,my bestest wishes Melissa

I'm so very sorry for you and what you're having to go through. I went through something similar with my miscarraige in 2009...the slow rising numbers and then they started going down about 3 weeks after my first beta (I believe).
Your Dr need to have her head examined in my opinion! She has absolutley no right to talk to you like that and to give answers like that to your questions. Asking when you might be able to expect to start IVF again after she has already told you you are going to miscarry is a perfectly reasonable thing to ask. I'd probably think about finding a different Dr for your next IVF cycle if you can. Going through all of this is hard enough without having to deal with someone like that.
Again I am so sorry and please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

My beta today is 59?! So in two days it's gone from 48 to 59... Dr gave me a scan today but saw nothing... she said I was still pregnant but the hcg was totally abnormal and I am going to miscarry. I am so sad. I knew that but was hoping all the same for a miracle. I asked when should I expect to see sign of miscarriage and she was so rude to me, said "I don't know that but if it pleases you I could give you a date but it probably won't be then." I asked how long I would have to wait after miscarrying before we could try IVF again, this was her response in a haughty voice "you haven't even miscarried with this pregnancy yet so we can't possibly take about what will happen afterwards"... except she'd just told me I will have a miscarriage. All this and more in a matter of fact tone of voice and then she had to dash off in an emergency and left me to get dressed and digest everything she'd just thrown in my face. I started to cry... I had to come out of the office and walk across a packed waiting room with tears rolling down my face, people were staring at me... I really don't think she has an ounce of compassion. I was so upset and so angry. I have to have another beta fri... and just get on with it. I still have pregnancy symptoms (sore breasts) and no bleeding. I feel so alone.
Thanks girls for your thoughts, both good and bad! I have to say I'm not feeling hopeful but I've had another beta this morning and will get the results later today. I'll try to speak to my midwife to see what's happening... I still have no bleeding? It's been 2 weeks since my first beta, I am SO confused.
I'm sorry you are going threw this I'm flustrated for you just try and relax one of the re at that clinic need to be available for u if u feel any cramping or unusual symptoms go to the er later for the clinic!!! I wish u the best
