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?
I just wanted to say my beta has now increased to 137... maybe there's a glimmer of hope? I'm keeping everything crossed for my next beta on Thurs. It's not normal, but maybe this little one was a really slow starter?
GL girl. It going up is a good sign. Who knows maybe u are 1 in a billion.
thanks for your support... for the moment I haven't done anything as I am technically still pregnant?!
I got my results today, and they have gone from 59 on wed, to 82 today? WHAT? So the level is going up but very, very slowly! I just don't know what to expect, I've never heard of this and even can't find a similar situation on the internet? I still have no bleeding, and have painful breasts so still some pregnancy symptoms... but my doctor said my situation is not normal and it's not a viable pregnancy. I understand this but don't know why the beta is increasing... it's been 16 days since my first beta!

Blue: I understand the waiting list thing. I would call them and tell them that u have been on the waiting list for over a year and really need to see how much long it will take to get u in. some times a phone call works. I am nervous for u about your results today. Just let us know. We are here for u no matter what.
Thank you all so very much for your words of support. I have done another blood test today, we'll see what happens. I have lots to think about, if we try again should I change Dr, very possibly, but where we live there isn't much choice and there are waiting lists (which we already spent over a year on when we first started the IVF process). It's difficult. As far as this pregnancy goes, it's most likely doomed, but I still have no bleeding? I am confused.
Wishing you all lots of wonderful things! Thank you

I agree, find a new doctor. My first IVF doctor was as cold as ice. His IVF cordinator I could not stand, she had been in the business for 18 years too long because she lost her sense of compassion and drive for what she does. We found a new doctor, it was like stepping into light, he is fantastic and his staff is caring.
