I'm still pregnant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
My doctor called me late last night while i was in bed. My HCG level is 54. I'm so happy i'm pregnant! I'm trying my hardest to not worry about the beta number but i can't help it. It was 31 last thursday, so that means it didn't go up much of the past several days. Can someone tell me whether i need to be concerned??? I really want to just move on and enjoy my pregnancy. She does want to re-check it tomorrow and see where it's at. I've been through so much now that it would be horrible if i still lost this baby. I know it's supposed to double every 48-72 hours, but is there still a chance i can have a healthy pregnancy? I really hope these numbers don't matter that much.
God truly does answer prayers!

She didn't necessarily seem concerned. She just said she wants to check them again in 48 hrs.

Krista: Congrats! What a miracle! I think your doctor is not concerned because she has probably decided not to trust either of your prior lab results. All you can do now is hang tight and wait to take another test tomorrow. My prayers will be with you and your little miracle bean!!!! I also think you found a great doctor since she made a point to call you so late...shows she understands what you are going through! Congrats again!! Here is some sticky dust!!!

I'm wondering if your beta 31 level was wrong too? was it the same lab?? Maybe you should just start with a clean slate with this last draw....just a thought 
I'm SO excited for you!!! I am really praying for a healthy pregnancy for you and your little bean!!

I'm not going to sugarcoat it, if the 31 is correct, yes you should be concerned that it only went to 54 in 5 days.
BUT how much can credit can you put into that number if they told you the next one was 0? So I'm sure you'll get more answers after tomorrow's draw since it will be 48 hours after the last one.

Oh my goodness, Praise God!!! You poor thing have been through so much the last couple days. I hope and Pray that you can have a happy and healthy nine months. Please update us when you get your numbers today. That other nurse that told you your numbers were 0 should be complained about. Thats terribles he had you thinking it was 0 the whole time. Shame on her. HUGS!!!

I was thinking about it and the lab i went to yesterday was the same one as the "0 result." The result of 31 was at a different place. My doctor does labs at this hospital so that's why i'm doing them there. I've had bloodwork done here several times throughout my life, so hopefully it was just a one time thing that i won't ever have to worry about again. I'm praying super hard that my number doubles tomorrow!

That is great news!!!! Now... honestly I would be cautiously optimistic. Just until you get the results tomorrow. You've gotten one miracle answer, there's no reason why you can't get another...

I'm so happy your doctor was able to give you good news, hun! I'm so sorry you have had to go through all of this over the past few days, and I will continue to keep you and your baby in my prayers! I will also pray that your beta numbers have doubled when you get your draw tomorrow!
