I got my first Beta back today and it was only 29. I have been doing boosters of Ovidrill with projestrone suppositories. My Dr. said my first Beta may be a false + cause the Ovidrill is the HCG horomone.
I bumped a thread for you from a few months back. I looked for it because I knew it would help reassure you - it's called "Let's Compare Betas".
You see - it really isn't over for you yet!

I posted this in another spot for you but this is what I know....
I had my last booster of HCG on a Saturday and my first test was a 30. THey told me my 46 looked great. I think 29 is still good. I think it would be lower than that if you were not pregnant but I am not positive. When I did a web search it said chances are your pregnant (without any HCG) if you are above 5 so maybe the HCG only gives you a little. GOod luck for Monday, I am pulling for you and your ebryos!!!

So your first Beta was only 30? Then went up to 46? My last booster was on Sunday and my Beta was today, so that was about 4 days... Your last HSG was Sat. when was your test? I forget.
Anyhow, we are doing another Beta tomorrow to see if it goes up, even just a little, and then the final on Monday. I called and said I just was going crazy so that is why we are doing it tomorrow. Thanks
Kelly- I am so sorry, tears are streaming down my face. My heart goes out to you and your husband. Let me know if there is anything I can do. I am thinking about you and the positive future you will have with your baby!!!

The same thing happened to us.. we had a beta of 32 on test day. Sadly the numbers had fallen a couple of days later.
Just remember you DID get pregnant. For whatever reason those embies didn't hang on, but there's absolutely no reason why they shouldn't next time.
But I do remember lots of people telling me this at the time and I wasn't ready to hear this.
I grieved for quite a while for the 'near pregnancy'. I hope you manage to find peace soon and I am thinking about you. Life does suck , but it just makes the wonderful things when they do happen even more precious.
Take care
