History: I had a tubal reversal on october 12th of this year, started AF on the 15th....long cycle etc, had a positive hpt and beta on 11/22/2004.

My beta levels seem low (see my signature) and I have had some mild cramping on left side and bleeding (pink last night when wiping and brown today when wiping) and was wondering if any of you could shed some light on this?

Dr. R said that my levels are low for my DPO but that does not mean that it could not end up being viable as they are doubling. She did say to keep tubal pregnancy in the back of my mind for symptoms. She wants to see me back in her office Thursday afternoon to do an exam and more bloodwork. And possibly mentioned that I might not be as far along as I thought....but I know that the OPK does not lie...

The numbers don't matter as much as the fact that the numbers are doubling. Also the numbers can be affected by the date of implantation. Even though you o'd on a specific date...implantation can vary.

Hopefully, your numbers are just low due to late implantation.

Let us know how you are doing. Also, many women have blood early in the pregnancy...

Hi Cathie,

I'd say that your numbers doubling is a good sign even with low numbers. The important thing is that your doctor is monitaring you and will be able to tell if there is a problem early. Hopefully your numbers will keep climbing.

I had spotting with my DD for about 2 weeks. Once my mucous plug formed it stopped. Hopefully it will be ok with you also. As you probably already know, pink and brown are supposed to be ok, but red is bad.

Good Luck! Please let us know what happens.

I've heard, too, that the numbers doubling is all that matters. I have had 2 (and possibly 4) ectopic pregnancies, and my numbers have never looked like yours. You're smart to keep an eye on things, but things sound good based on what you've said and what little I know. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!! Let us know how you are!!

All of these SxS you have been having are all normal on their own but together are worth a little bit of caution... Not worry but worth keeping an eye on. I’m glad your Dr. is monitoring this to be safe.

But I must agree with the other girls... One of the good things that sticks out for me would be the fact your #'s are doubling so well.

Please keep us updated
