Low Beta

Hello ladies,

I just had my beta on Monday 7/20 which was 21 and I've been spotting brownish for 6 days. I've taken 5 hpt test and as the days go by the lines get a little darker. My next beta is Thursday 7/23 and im kinda of nervous.

I guess im just looking for some advice or success stories with low beta.


Thanks.

I just had my first beta today and it came back at a 43. My clinic said this is low and that they like to see the 1st beta numbers between 50-100. I am going for a second beta on 8/11 and hoping to see this number double.
