I can't offer advice as I have never been pregnant, but I just wanted to send you a big virtual hug. Hope your beta goes up faster.

Thanks.... to be honest. I really could use a hug right now.

just try to stay calm I will pray for you

OK, I don't want to give you false hope, but my sister's betas did not go up as expected. Her RE said the same as yours did, but in the end she has a baby boy. There is still hope.

Thank you. That helps. I am trying to keep my spirits up. Trying being the operative word.

That just happened to me. We found out Monday that we were PG, so I went for blood work tuesday, and thursday and they called later that day and said that my number's didn't increase like they should and it might be an ectpoic pregnancy. So I had a dr.'s appointment on that following monday and they did an internal ultrasound and there was nothing in my uterus. So I had to get the shot's in the butt to terminate the pregnancy. But monday I had to get more blood work done and my number's had almost tripled so we were so excited. And then they told us that. Now we have to wait 3 months before we can try again. I don't mean to be a downer but I wish you all the luck in the world and HOPE it works out for you!!!!!

i had the same happen like jess but my dr said its a 50/50 chance. just pray and take good care of yourself. good luck to you sweeite.

Mine creeped up too. They told me the same thing. Mine actually made it up to 2000 but never doubled the way it should've (it should double every 24 - 48 hrs). When I had my ultrasound, They found out that I only had a gesational sac. I m/c in the ER.
They did say that if my numbers were still going up, that this was the only thing that mattered as long as I kept my symptoms. I wish you luck.

Thank you so much for your help. I truly appreciate it. The moment of truth will be Sunday afternoon.

I had the same thing. My numbers didn't go up. They took me to surgery to check for ectopic (which is not normal procedure - my dr was just nuts!) and I ended up miscarrying. Sorry if that worries you but my advice is to research it, and don't let your dr do anything until he/she is 100% sure! I let me dr operate when we should have waited. I could maybe of had my baby.

Got the blood work back. My numbers went up from 295 to 395. I don't get what this means. They did an ultrasound and could not see a sac. They said it might be too early to see one. I'm really not holding out hope; I'm just unsure of what to make of this.

I hope it means good news!

Wow what a tough spot for you. I'm sorry that things are hanging in the balance. I will keep you in my thoughts.

look, if g-d willing it is a good pregnancy, all this stress your putting on yourself can only hurt the baby. if g-d forbid its not, there is nothing to do. just be greatful that you can concieve cause alot of woman here havent even gotten to that point. if g-d ofbid it is ectopic, the good out of it is that you can have kids and will. so try to stay as calm as you can and hopefully things will work out. when is your next beta/sono?

Roro - spoken like a true NY-er. I should know. I used to be one. Soooooo, thanks, I think. ;O)

Honestly, I'm just going to go with the flow. I'm tired of crying. I'm tired of being in limbo so I'm just going to wait to cry. If I miscarry, I'll get it all out then.
