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?
*hugs*
I'm sad for your loss, but so very grateful you didn't have an ectopic. I'll find out today what my beta level is doing, but my ultrasound yesterday said everything is normal there, so I'm glad for that for me too.
Thinking of you!

I know you knew this was coming, but it doesn't make it any easier. I am so very sorry. Keep trying to focus on the good things...you will soon have some closure and its not ectopic. As always I'm keeping you in prayers.
LIke u am glad it wasnt ectopic. dont give up your time will come. I have been trying for 5 years. 3 mc. one at 12wks , 1 at 10wks, 1 at 6wks. i have had 3 chemical pregnancies. and 5 iui's 3 of which failed. I still have faith that it will happen. Keep your faith and trust God for his perfect timing.
Thanks so much for your kind words...
I saw my gynecologist yesterday... my beta has started to drop and I've had some light brown spotting, so this is the beginning of the end for me :( I was 8 weeks pregnant but they never found the embryo as the beta was too low...
On the bright side, at least it doesn't look like an ectopic, I am grateful for that.
Wishing you all lots of luck... I will take time to reflect and decide what to do now, it's a difficult time for me.

Don't doubt it you may never know what may happen but I see you are looking from both sides just continue to be strong!!!
