First Beta is 57 - any success stories?

[Zen Jen]

I have been lurking here for the past month.

I just did my first IVF...thought I produced 4 follicles, but only 3 were retrieved. 1 was empty, 1 was abnormal, so only 1 to work with. I was devastated and did not want to continue. But the little critter grew, and it was transfered on 6/30. It was a 6 cell grade B...not great, but good.

So for the past 2 weeks, I have been working hard to let everything go, and to not expect anything. I wasn't being negative, but I didn't want to get my hopes up because the disappointment is unbearable.

Today I had my 1st beta...and the number was 57! ^&*^&!!! ????? So much for ending my TWW!

Have you had success with a first beta around 57? Please respond. Thanks so much for sharing.

57 is a little on the low side for 12 days post day 3 ET, but not too bad. I've seen lower values result in live birth many times. Happens every day.

Congrats.

zen jen, congratulations, i have everything crossed for you that your numbers double next time. My clinic do not rewtest us if the number is over 50, and they have recorded a live birth from a beta of 3. There is also a lady on here pregnant with twins and her first beta was only in the 70's. The most important fact is that the numbers keep doubling.
good luck

Zen Jen, you have nothing to be worried about. I found several charts on the internet on HCG levels and yours is right where it should be. Mine was on the low side as well...

HCG Levels during Pregnancy

7 Days 5-50 (avg. 14)
14 Days 5-50 (avg. 21)
21 Days 5-50 (avg. 42)
28 Days 10-425
35 Days 19-7,340
42 Days 1,080-56,500

My first beta was 62 or 64 (memory is being sucked up by babies ) and here I am pg with twins at 27 weeks. So keep the faith! I'm so glad I didn't know how low my number really was or I would have worried like crazy but it all turned out in the end. Good luck and congrats on the BFP!

Take care~

My first beta was 62 and I had a baby boy in December of last year.

Congrats. My clinic says another over 50 is good. Please Please Please try to relax and let the little one keep growing. When is your next beta?
Congrats and hang in there. My first better was over a 100 I think but I have seen several in the 50s..Good Luck

I had my second beta Saturday, and I went from 57 to 140, so it more than doubled in 48 hours. My doctor said I am " in the game".

I am cautiously optimistic....I am having a teeny bit of brown spotting, and trying not to obsess about it.

Thanks so much for your knowledge and kindness.

I only had one to transfer the other one did not surve the defosting all together we had 8 to freeze in pairs of 2's. They didn't want to defost any more They where happy with just one. I really wasn't.
