WTF???

52?
That's what the nurse called to tell me, 5 minutes after I started my "CD3" entry. My Beta is 52. I'm bleeding like I have my period, so I'm going with the assumption that this is a "chemical pregnancy" but I am going in on Thursday to get another beta. 52 at 17dpo. Thoughts? Anyone? I mean, aside from "WTF?!" Because I already had that one, about 800 times in the last four minutes.

UPDATE: Well, it's great while it lasts... that's the attitude I'm taking. I think Thursday's beta will be lower. I continue to bleed heavily. Nothing about this screams, "HOORAY! BFP!!!" to me. That's okay though. Because now we know we CAN do it.

    Wow. It's really hard to tell at this point. I had a lot of bleeding on the day I got my positive beta, so you never know. I'll be anxiously awaiting word on Thursday.

    Whoa! That is some news! It's not uncommon to be pregnant and still have a "period" though. Maybe an early-maybe-congrats is in order?!? I'm sure thursday couldn't come soon enough! We'll be waiting here in blogland also...

    Oh wow, confusing is right! My friend's mom had her "period" for 3 months while she was pregnant with her son. The doctor wouldn't even give her a pregnancy test! (this was back in the '70's). But all proceeded well and normally from then on. Fingers crossed till Thursday for sure.

    According to betabase.info and babymed.com, @ 17 dpo, a beta of 52 is right around the lower spec limit for a viable pregnancy. It should be interesting to see if it doubles on not.

    My wife bled through most of the first trimester.

    Whoa. That is some seriously confusing data you have there. It seems that a Shroedinger actually CAN be both pg and not at the same time!! Sorry I could not resist. I will keep everything crossed that your next beta more than doubles and that this is not a period. Hoping hoping hoping...

    Uh huh - I was kind a wondering myself.... But I seriously hope that this is not a chemical or a period but a bloody start to a really great pregnancy. FX that you get to find out what is really going on soon.
    Please take care:)

    Well that’s not what you expect from CD3 bloodwork, is it? Well, I don’t know if you’re catching the beta as it rises or falls, but either way, I think it’s great news. You CAN make a baby and at least have it start to implant. That’s way farther than we’ve ever gotten. So yay for that. :)
