It's 11 days past my FET and I had my beta today - 57. Help me out and be realistic. Pretty low, huh?

Back story - my embryo's were frozen on day 3. I transferred a 1AC blast and a morula two days after thaw. I started having symptoms 3 days past transfer but they faded. I have been getting BFPs since last Friday but very faint.

My first beta was 64 at day 11. FET are notoriously lower than fresh cycles. I was told anything over 50 was fine for 12 days..Mine was also a 5 day blast.
Good luck wishes coming your way.

So only one day earlier than you are now. There were no problems.

I think you are definitely still in the game, especially since it was an FET, as they can be a day or two behind, can't they?

Wishing you luck!

3 yrs ago yesterday at 9dp5dt from a frozen cycle, I got a call that my beta was 51. I hoped for one healthy baby. My betas never took off - I only had one three days later then one at 5w6d when I went in for first ultrasound and saw ohmysweetheavens IT'S TWINS!??! My betas had on average exactly poked along doubling every two days the entire time. Hope this is a little encouraging.

Not me I love your story friend in NM

I think Sarah and Jonathan will be too one of these days when I tell them about "anonymous"s rule in their journey to me!

Some day when they are older take them to NM in November for Thanksgiving it is lovely here that time of year. Happy V day to you and your kids..

That's crazy!

I have had too many not go my way to get excited at this point but I still appreciate the encouraging stories because it makes the next days bearable. And I don't feel like I am wasting my time with the POI shots.

Of course the doctor just called (which is so considerate. I am not just hearing this news from the nurse) and told me not to get too excited but that stranger things have happened.

Thanks to all for your encouragement. I really appreciate it.

Good stories/hope-filled stories are always worth repeating!

at 16dpo my beta was 61. i was devastated but the nurse seemed unconcerned. the betas doubled from there and that 61 is 3 yrs old now

congratulations!!! you're pregnant!

In theory if you assume my day 3 frozens didn't loose too much time during the thaw-re-growing process. Then they were transferred 48 hours later (basically a day 5 transfer but they wree a little behind) and today is 11 days after that.

Well I just love hearing these stories! Fingers crossed....

for some doubling numbers...really seems like you have reason to be hopeful. SMRC

You are pregnant! I think there is such variability. I hopeThursday brings a doubling number. I'm so happy for you and hope you have more good news to share soon! Happy Hearts Day!

If you have any travel questions to SG let me know.

Seymo,

Congratulations! My beta was 49 at 11dp3dt. That was a fresh transfer too. When my RE called me to congratulate me and told me I was pregnant I was shocked. I was supirsed at their positivity. I was getting faint positives on hpt's as well. When I inquired on the lowish number they told me that it was fine and that they have seen live births with a beta of 10. I had to wait 4 torturous days for my repeat but the repeat was in in the 700's. I just had my 12 week ultrasound and the baby is measuring 2 days ahead. I have been following your story, I am happy for you.

congrats! praying for you and your little one!

Hi Seymo,
It sounds like a 'normal' low beta. A beta of more than 20 at my clinic 14dptransfer was a postive. Some early betas are high as they are twins or your donor just produces high betas for singletons as was the case with me. Some betas are low as they are singletons. Your beta sounds fine ok. Congratulations, lovely news BTW best THK

I know the low beta is a bit scary but I have a good feeling for you. Plenty of betas on the lower end have lead to healthy babies.
Hang in there and know we are all here for you!!
best,
kerri

I appreciate your support. I am scared and I don't feel pregnant which doesn't help.

I can't tell you all how wonderful it is to have a place to come and "talk" about this. After so many failures I just don't want to get my hopes up and I really don't want to talk to any "muggles" about it. Its hard to be positive when so much of the past many years has been negative.

I am having my repeat beta Thursday morning and I will approach it that I will be pleasantly surprised if it is good news. (And understandably depressed if it is bad news).

Hi Seymo,
I feel like I have posted this many times too on this website, but I started with such low betas on a fresh cycle and was sad to hear the news on day 10.

Day 8 16
Day 10 24
Day 13 74
Day 17 500

It really decided to take after that disappointing day 10 and I just had my 16 week ultrasound with one healthy baby!

Thinking good thoughts for you.
