I created this thread earlier this week about my first low beta that only showed 65 at 15 DPO. My Dr didn’t seem to be concerned and my progesterone was around 32.
Well I went back 48 hours later (17 DPO) and I just got the call that second beta has come back at 94 and progesterone at 26. The doctor didn’t want to rule anything out until Monday when I do another test but from what I can see these numbers are way too low
and they have only increased around 44%..
I guess somehow I knew it wasn’t going to be this easy and I just wanted to come here and write this. Even thought the Dr and Nurse said it’s going the right way but just not doubling I feel like it’s probably not going to happen.
Also I thought it was strange but Dr apparently said we shouldn’t measure progesterone anymore.
This is my first so I’m glad we can conceive but
I hope it can happen again and that I don’t have bad eggs..

if you want to chat to someone the upcoming days just drop me a message.
my first beta was 437 at 13dpo and progesterone was at 15 then 48 hrs it dropped to 137 but progesterone increased to 18. I had some spotting the next day and went to the ER. They did a blood draw and my level had rose to 237. Had another beta with my doctor’s office 4 days later and it rose to 1561 and 48hrs later it almost doubled-2861. OB ordered an ultrasound to rule out ectopic and there was a gestational and yolk sac in my uterus. He wanted one more beta bc at this point my progesterone had dropped really low with the last two betas and was at 11 which should’ve been my indicator right there but I still held out hope. My OB offered progesterone supplements but warned me that if this isn’t a viable pregnancy the supplements can delay/mask the miscarriage so I declined. We had another beta and progesterone check 6 days later and it wasn’t good at all. HCG nowhere near doubled and progesterone had dropped to 7. We had an ultrasound a few days later and there was an embryo but no heartbeat. My OB said I was still in the grey area bc there was growth from the last ultrasound but my progesterone had been consistently dropping which usually wasn’t a good indicator of a viable pregnancy. He wasn’t really concerned about the hCG at this point bc he said it was high enough for us to see growth on the ultrasound which was more important. I went ahead and got the progesterone supplements since there was growth and there seemed to be a light at the end of the tunnel. Unfortunately I started spotting the SAME day I took the first supplement and the next day I was bleeding and cramping badly. I had a light to moderate flow the next two days and I went to the ER again where I miscarried… this was my 4th pregnancy..3rd miscarriage but it was by far the worst experience. I completely relate to the ups and downs and wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy. I really hope you find some peace in this process/experience and I hope you have a great support team to get you through whatever the outcome may be.
