beta not doubling - could it be ectopic??
My initial beta was 196 on Friday, two days later it is 246. It did not double as they had hoped. I go back on Tuesday for more testing. The nurse mentioned ectopic pregnancy. I am freaking out. This was our first and only IVF. None of our remaining embryos made it to freezing.

I think it was strange for the nurse to jump to conclusions about ectopic by beta results alone. It could just be a normal miscarriage as those betas will not double either. But if you have any severe pain go to the doctor right away. And ther have been reports in the past of slow rising hcg and everything ending up OK. This was never the case with me but I hope it is for you. Best of luck.
