4w3d: Bad beta

My beta at 17DPO is 90.

They are having me come in and get a 2nd one.

I am heartbroken. I know this is not entirely over, but I've been getting positive HPTs since 9DPO.

I feel sick.

:( Don't give up! My best friend had a nearly identical 1st beta and everything is fine.

Oh hun, I'm so sorry to hear about this :( And I know its going to be hard to do, but please try to hold onto hope! It's not over till it's over! So keep praying and hoping. I have heard of low betas double or even tripling...so please dont give up on this baby yet. Thinking of you. :) When is your next beta? Keeping my fingers crossed...

So sorry... But please don't give up yet! I was told at my clinic that all they wanted to see is beta over 60 so 90 would be good. You baby is just implanted a bit later. By the way, both clinics that I have been to do 2 beta tests 48 hours apart and the most important thing that it doubles. So, wishing and hoping for a strong second beta. Good luck!!!!

Marissa, I agree that you should not give up. I know that it is hard but there is such a huge, huge range for normal betas, with many, many women not fitting into "standard" patterns. The second beta will be the important one. Am thinking such good thoughts for you. Please, please let this be it.
