Ghost* Low beta

Post by blueeyedreamer »

Is there hope?

We transferred one 5 day blastocyst (FET) on Feb 7. I had my first beta on Feb 17 (10dp5dt). My beta was 9.6. The nurse wasn't happy and basically said I'm sorry. My second beta, today, was 15. This nurse sounded happy that it went up and said we will keep monitoring it and to come back on Tuesday.

Are you aware of viable pregnancies that come from such low numbers? Any thoughts as to what is going on? I didn't get strong positives at all and got a few light ones starting at 8dpt.

Thank you!

Never seen one quite that low achieve birth. I've seen some just a little higher make it. But the odds are not good.

Let's hope for the best, but also be realistic. Don't give up. Keep following all clinic instructions.
Avoid IVF and surrogacy in Ukraine. Ukrainian centers pay shills to post here under numerous sock accounts pretending to be patients in Ukraine. Centers using such deceptive advertising cannot be trusted and should be avoided.

Thank you. It's hard to stay hopeful and realistic at the same time. I'll keep trucking along and see what happens.
