So my beta had dropped to 900 something on Saturday. This morning I got labs done at my local clinic. An hour ago I got a voicemail that said, “Your beta is 1,100 which is a drop from your last beta. Come back for repeats on thursday.”
When I got labs this morning I dropped off my paperwork from the ER that had my HCG test results – the one that said 900 something. (I am such an idiot for not making a copy or taking a photo of the papers before just leaving them with reception.)
I called the clinic and left a message all, “um. math? Confused. Did you not get my ER paperwork? Did my beta go down and then go up?”
Because that? Would SUCK.
I’ll update when I hear back.
(I know this is all pretty dull for most of you guys, but chronicling every inch of this journey is keeping me on the sane side of town.)

Good grief. It’s like they are screwing with you on purpose.
Did you piss off some lab person somewhere?
Did they use a different calculation? Ugh…
Geez…it’s never ending. I’m sorry it doesn’t seem to be cooperating.
Oh, fuckety FUCK! I’m so sorry you have to deal with all this crap. Much love and huge hug your way.
900? how are you feeling? I was a pukey mess when I got over 500. That is some suckage.
This sucks! I hope it’s just a miscalculation and the beta is really going down.
Different labs. Different abs give not entirely congruent results at times depending on how they Do Things. As long as you remain well and Not In Pain, I tend to concur. Should Pain intervene and your local version of simple analgesia not help, seek medical review and/or ultrasoundey action.
Sigh. Bad enough not to be pregnant in the right place, this is just the icing to the kick in the teeth, eh?
Oh good heavens, this beta mess has gone beyond ludicrous. I’d say it’s gone plaid (as in Spaceballs!), but around here plaid is a good thing–unlike these lab numbers. I hope you can get some answers soon.
WTH? Can’t they just let you move on all ready? Sorry, this just sucks.
