My sister (had iui) was just telling me that when her beat came in it was like 24 and they told her to give up, then it went up to 32 and they told her to give up, then they did the ultrasound and she had no sac in there and they said that the baby would starve.  Next time there was a sac and now she has a beautiful 8 year girl who is a little gymnast what can draw anything.  You are still in the game.  I will keep you in my prayers.

Hope it is OK if I post.  I know how hard it is.  I had alot of negativity (not on this board, but elsewhere) on my low beta (starting at 21 10dp5dt).  It turned out OK.  I am still in first tri- not out of the woods yet- but if something happens, it isn't because of my low initial betas.

I did alot of googling (more than was healthy) and found success stories starting even in the single digits.  Unfortunately, it is just a waiting game and for me, they did serial betas (every couple days).

I am thinking very positive thoughts for you!

DOR and AMA
2/12-5/12: 4 IUI cycles = all BFN;
7/12: DE IVF # 1 (with ICSI)- 20R, 16M, 14F, 5DT of 2 blasts (4AB & 3BB); 6 frosties = BFN;
Lupus anticoagulant initially high, then found to be normal on hematology consult;
Follow up testing in September all clear;
Started synthroid for "high normal" TSH;
FET # 1- late October 2012- BFP on FRER; beta # 1- 21(low), beta # 2- 48 (still low), beta # 3- 132, beta # 4- 1,293; beta # 5- 5,606; last beta- over 100,000. First u/s 11/21- heard heartbeat
12/12- Officially an OB patient!
Level 2 ultrasound shows vasa previa and referral to MFM
Mandatory c section for delivery
Beautiful baby girl born at 34 weeks

Just read your post about your beta's as well!  SO happy to hear that yours is rising!!  Next beta is suppose to be Monday, but everything is closed here for New Years....so looks like we are going to have to wait until Wednesday which feels like an eternity!

I have been googling like crazy too.  I know I need to stop, but it really is encouraging to read success stories!  You will be in my thoughts!!

Hey, just wanted to say hang in there. My first one was a 12. I pretty much gave up at that point. But they've continued to rise and although it's very early still, I'm feeling more optimistic. FX for you and GL!
