2nd beta update
I would like to say thank you to everyone who has offered me support during this short pregnancy. It doesn't look good for this one although it started out looking great. The nurse called and my betas went from 177 on Jan 29 to 430 today's test. That's not a great increase and with the bleeding it isn't looking like this one is going to stick either.
How far apart were your test taken? Mine was 6 days apart and my doubling time was considered to be 4.68 days instead of every 2-3 days.
When I spoke to DH last night about it we decided to take things day by day even though the bleeding has started again this morning and it's pretty bad but no cramping. My progesterone levels were great though went from 37 to 59. We also decided that prolonging the miscarriage if it is going to happen will only keep us from trying again soon so we are going to let nature takes it course. Who knows what will happen but we are not ready to give up our dreams of having at least one child in our life.
I was happy about the numbers being up this high though. In Dec 08 I stayed pregnant for 8 wks and my beta only got to 298 so for being 4wks and 5 days I figured 430 was pretty good for me so far.
I do want to say thank you for all the support I've received. I don't think I could keep going or keep staying positive if it wasn't for everyone on here.

They really don't think that's a big enough increase? I'm surprised because my first beta was 248 & my second was 420. I'm now 32 weeks with twins. So long as your #s are increasing, I believe there's still hope! :) I'll keep you in my thoughts & pray for a happy Monday. Hang in there :)
So sorry! Thinking of you!
I feel for you and will pray that everything works out just right. Send positive thoughts to the bean!
I have everything crossed!!! Good luck and keep us posted!!! Stick little bean stick!!!!
ty teachnz. I will update everyone once I know what is going on with this pregnancy. I'm praying for a miracle and a huge turn around.
I am so sorry to read about your troubles.....i am going to be praying for you all weekend......Praying that you get some peace and relaxation....i know how hard it is to wait with the unsure.....please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.....
Thank you Amanda. I keep looking forward and up plus you have been an inspiration to me since I joined this board. One day I'm hoping my story will have a happy ending just like you finally got yours.
I'm going to keep everything crossed and keep thinking positive thoughts. XOXO
Thank you everyone. The dr wants me to repeat the blood work on Monday since I stopped bleeding again. They are hoping that it was a twin and things will look better.
The good thing that came out of it so far is that this is the highest numbers I've had so far for all of my pregnancies so since it is still really early in the pregnancy they are still hoping for a turn around.

There is not much I can say to help you feel better, courage, you are in my thoughts.
