Thread: Falling Betas Equal Miscarriage- Correct?

    Question Falling Betas Equal Miscarriage- Correct?

    Hi Ladies-

    This is my first pregnancy and things aren't exactly going as planned. I heard back from my doctor last night and she said my betas had dropped from 343 on Saturday to 287 on Monday.

    I'm trying to confirm that this means I will m/c. My doctor wouldn't come right out and say that I will- just that is doesn't look hopeful.

    I'm not looking for false hope if there isn't any- I'm just looking for straight answers. I'm not going to be surprised if I do m/c- PCOS combined with low (and slow rising) betal led me to believe this was coming. I just want to make sure there is no chance for this pregnancy before I resign myself to the fact that I'm going to have a m/c.

    Quick stats:
    BFP on 4/10
    Beta #1 on 4/15: 202
    Beta #2 on 4/17: 343
    Beta #3 on 4/19: 287

    Also- I've had no bleeding or spotting as of yet. Should I be concerned?

    Thanks so much!
    -Heather

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news but yes, unless there was a lab error or a true miracle from god, falling betas mean m/c. I am so sorry this is happening to you! Remember, your cysters are here for you when you need us!

    Heather ~ I've been thinking about you. How are you doing? I noticed your post on the pg board that said your numbers were back up. Are things looking better? I really hope so!!

    Thanks so much for checking in on me Stephanie.

    I wish I had good news, but I don't. My numbers are hovering now in the mid-300s, so my ob/gyn thinks this is either an ectopic pregnancy or I'm going to have a m/c. Either way- it's not a viable pregnancy. I met with my ob/gyn today to discuss options. We're going to monitor my numbers this week to see if they fall on their own and meet again Friday to decide our next steps. Best case scenario I'll m/c naturally.

    I really do appreciate you keeping me in your thoughts!

    I was really hoping God would send a miracle your way. I've been where you are right now and I know how much it sucks. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Feel free to PM me anytime you need to talk.
