HCG levels?

Did anyone get betas done? I just got the results of my first one today, and I was at 66 at 3w6d. My doctor said that was low, but the online charts I saw said the range was 5-450 and another website said the average was 50-100 for 4 weeks. What were your numbers? I'm just a tad worried now. Of course we need to see if it doubles, and I'm probably fine, but still. On the plus side my progesterone was good. When I had my ectopic I didn't even get a faint positive until 4w2d and my progesterone was low, so I'm probably ok this time.

 Edit: Just because I'm anal, here is my pee stick progression. Looks ok, right?

Re: HCG levels?

  • Wow! We just basically wrote the same thing! haha Well, at 3w1d my levels were 6.4 and they said it was pretty low but that I am still pretty early (I was only 9dpo then) we just did it again today 4w 0 d and Im at 251.4. So, who knows...we seem to hear different things.

  • Snooping from the June board:

    66 is perfectly awesome.  You really only need those numbers to increase by about 66% in 48 hours(according to my OB).  Push for more than 2 beta draws if it comforts you.  I'd also advise waiting for an u/s as a PGAL girl until after 6 weeks.

  • Mine was 22 at 3w6d.  The important thing is they double every 48hrs.  I wouldn't worry until you see your next draw numbers.

  • I just got my results...my #s were 46 at 3 weeks 5 days and 135 at 4 weeks 0 days. My progesterone was 21.1 at 3 weeks 4 days. My doctor said the #s look really good. I have lost 3 prior pregnancies and my #s were never this high.

  • Mine were really low, but they are rising fine.  My hcg was a 9 at 9 or 10 DPO, two days later 39, and three days after that, 192.  My progesterone has been great.  I'm nervous too, but my doc is happy, so I'll stay positive! :)

    They won't let me have and ultrasound before 7 weeks anyway. Thanks, that makes me feel better.

    Like others have said, the number doesn't matter as much as the doubling time. Good luck!

    This. It's not so much the actual number that's important as whether or not it doubles with in 48-72 hours. As long as you're doubling, your good
