Unhappy Very slow rising beta????

I just got a call from my RE and my beta only rose from 36 on Friday to 43 today. My official beta isn't until Wednesday, but I am really worried. Has anyone else had this happen and it resulted in a healthy pregnancy? So far everything I see online is not hopeful.

Nicole- You put back two blasts right? Could be you had two implant and now one is no longer growing. A couple of more betas should shed some more light. I would remain cautiously optimistic.

I had a low initial beta with my FET and thought oh this is going to be a chemical but the #'s kept doubling and I am 14 weeks now.

Nicole, your beta numbers started so early. Maybe you should not focus on the past numbers, but from Wed. on. To me, it sounds like they will go up Wed and keep going up.

I agree with Pier as well. If you implanted more than one, the other possilbe could not have made it and it is bringing the numbers down.

We are all routing for you!!

My numbers were slow to get started. I had my first one later than you, and it wasn't super high. And the one 4 days later showed numbers that weren't doubling over 48 hours. (More like every 60 hours, I think.) But when I had my 3rd beta a week later, it shot way way up, and now I have a healthy baby. So it happens.
