Update on my beta levels

So last friday I had my first beta test and I was at 12.  They told me I was probably m/c because they were so low.  I had another blood test yesterday and they are now at 31 !?! He said it's good that they are going up, but seriously ... 31? Seriously!?  I really don't think thats high at all - I was expecting at least in the hundreds.  Your thoughts??

 To top it all off - when I was at the OB on Wed he poked and prodded around and because of that I have been bleeding ever since. I'm thought after the doc called today with my levels I was going to be really happy, or really sad ...... now I just don't know what to think!  He is going away so my next appt isn't until feb 11th.  and the waiting continues ........

Re: Update on my beta levels

  • That does sound like your stuck in limbo, and its not really fair for you! Is there another dr. you can see at the pratice sooner than the 11th? You need some definitive answers. So sorry you have to go through this.  

  • I would also see if you could go to another doc or at least have another blood test in the meantime.  Waiting sucks.

  • I agree with PPs - that's a long time to go without another blood test, or some answers!
  • Why can't you just go in and get b/w done next week?  That's an awful long time to go without knowing what in the world is going on.
  • I'm sorry to hear that your level is so low.  My opinion is that your doctor should send your to have an internal u/s, especially with your bleeding.  I would call the OB, tell them that you are very upset and see what they can do. 
  • I agree with ethansbride, since the betas aren't doubling every 72 hours they should do another round of b/w asap and send you for an internal.  If they won't and your insurance covers the ER then go to the ER and tell them about the spotting and they will probably do an u/s.

  • Ok - there are not other dr. in the practice, just him.  At this point i'm not too fond of him for leaving me high and dry(and still bleeding from wednesday's exam) like this and I've been thinking of going somewhere else.

    A little backstory with the "pregnancy"..... I was spotting last week (M-TR) then took a HPT on friday and got the BFP .... my ob didn't have any openings that day and suggeset I go to the ER which is where I got my first beta count of 12 and they told me I was having a m/c - better yet, they handed me my discharge papers that said "threatend abortion"!!!  So wed I went to my OB  and he did an internal u/s.  the only thing he said was that i have a thick uterus wall which is a good sign of pregnancy.

     Can anyone suggest a good OB that knows whats going on? :)

  • I go to the OB/GYN Specialists in Voorhees.  I love them, its two women doctors.  I'm so glad I go there now.  874-1114 is the phone number.
  • I'm so sorry you're having such a hard time with this!  I hope you get your answers soon!

  • Your OB should have another Dr covering his pts while he is away! I wouldn't wait that long to find out what is going on..That is tortureous and unfair of an OB to ask!!!

    I agree you should be getting some more betas drwn to see if they continue to double...I dont think an internal u/s would help b/c your betas aren't high enough yet to see anything..

     I see Dr White at Garden State OB/GYN...
