Beta #2
in GP Moms
Results came back at 49,000 up from 36,000 (48 hours in between). The nurse stressed that it was going up but didn't seem too enthused. Is this a bad number?
Re: Beta #2
Thanks, girls.
Nurse called and said that she is double checking with the doctor but they might be giving me rhogam now since I had bleeding earlier this week. She said that she is going to call me back today but that the doctor wants to see the ultrasound before making any major assumptions.
Sigh..

It's normal that a high beta like that won't double. After betas get past a few thousand, an ultrasound is way more reliable for viability than betas.
Also, it's standard that if you have any bleeding and you're RH negative to get RhoGam. I know you mentioned in the other post you might decline since your H is RH negative too, but you may want to get it just in case. This may sound awful or morbid, but you and your doctor can't guarantee that any future pregnancies will be with the same father, and RhoGam protects future pregnancies not this one.
Congrats to both my TTC buddies, Amberley18 and sb2006 on their beautiful babies!
The nurse just called me back and said this which helped me exhale a little. She said that as long as nothing is red, then they aren't really concerned. DH is actually O+, he found his donor card to confirm. So I need the RhoGam farther down the pregnancy.
The nurse said that the doctor decided against giving it to me now and that they are hoping to get a better picture of what's happening. This is going to be the longest weekend of all time.
I feel much better, thanks for being so supportive
As far as I know it's normal for betas that high to not double. I'm actually surprised they did a second draw. My OB said she won't look at betas above 1500 or so and goes straight to u/s after that.
Take a deep breath, things should be fine!

Yeah, this.
I'm also RH- and have had the shot (I had to with an amnio last time around). It's really not as bad as people make it out to be. It was like any other shot.
FET - transferred two embryos (boy and girl) - Nov 2014 - BFP!
