Beta number didn't double

Post by Candygirl0530 »

Hi ladies,

I'm new here and had a question. Friday my beta was 252. Today it was 450 and my RE wanted to see 500. I go back WEd. He said he's not too worried because it is rising. I'm so worried. Any thoughts?

Thanks.

You’re still in the game.

At my second check, my betas barely rose. They told me to expect to miscarry. Then, my betas miraculously starting rising. I’ve had no real explanation except possible lab error. If you look around, you’ll find that many women don’t truly “double” in the testing time.

See some examples here:

Best of luck.
