Low Beta BFPs

Hi Ladies!

One of my girlfriends just did her first IVF and her first BETA came back at 18. She is upset as she is also cramping with light spotting. I know there is hope, so I was hoping you ladies could share your storied with me.

Thanks so much!

That's still pretty early, I'd say there is definitely reason to hope. Girls on here have had successful pregnancies with numbers that low. We'll cross our fingers that they double!

Yes its still possible

My girlfriend is due this July with her 2nd child.

#1 was w/2nd IVF -low number 1st beta like 23. They said she was a late implanter. Then it started trippling.

#2 child (this one) 3rd IVF-FET-1st bet was 7-can you believe it?
her 2nd beta was 27. So it sounds like her low number has a 50/50 of either being on the way up or on the way down. Ill say a prayer its on the way up.

Good luck!
