Question Beta rising slowly

We had taken a break from seeing the RE and I had some left over Clomid so I figured it can't hurt.. Well we got a surprise last Saturday. Really didn't expect this after 3 failed IUIs, 2 of which were with injectibles.

My first Beta on Saturday: 34, Monday: 71, Wednesday: 110 and today: 155.

It is still rising but very slowly

Does anyone have any success stories with a Beta that didn't double every 48 hours?

someone can help give me hope!!

My first beta was 106 and 2nd 48hrs later was only 120. It seems to have gone up better after that but it was really scary at first. I'm still hoping our ultrasound goes well next Monday. Please don't give up hope, I have read stories where someone's beta was very slow to rise and everything turned out okay. You can go to betabase.com and that has some helpful information about doubling times. It's amazing how slow some of the betas on there took to double. Wishing you the very best of luck and congrats on your surprise !!!!!!

Hi Nicky, Im sorry that youre going through this stress, I went through the same thing for a couple of weeks only to find out that a healthy little girl is growing in me. My RE said that the tests were probably screwy due to a vanishing twin. I wish you all the luck! Check out my betas in my sig ~ Paula
