So I took a little break...

I was so excited to be on here! My first beta came back at 185 with progesterone at 30. I went back two days later and it came back at 308. Womp womp womp. They had me repeat four days after that and it was 1113. So they weren't doubling. They were actually concerned. So of course, I was concerned. I went to the RE at 7 weeks for my ultrasound, expecting to see an empty sac or ectopic. Nope, a sweet little baby with a heartbeat of 140 was thumping away. I go back Tuesday for a follow up and hope all is okay. 

I dont even know why I'm posting this, TBH. Maybe if someone who had non-doubling betas is waiting for their ultrasound, this can bring some reassurance. I sure googled myself sick over it for two weeks!

excited to be back!

Glad you had a good ultrasound

I had spotting between 5 and 6 weeks. They started tracking my numbers and they were going up but not doubling. At 6 1/2 weeks they told us to come in for an ultrasound so they can confirm the worst. Well when we went there was a perfect baby bean with a strong heartbeat. They told me once they find a heartbeat your chances of miscarriage drops to 10% and they stop tracking HCG. I go back the 15th just to double check. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the positive stories with long doubling times. I needed this today after finding out about ~100h doubling time (with first beta around 3000). Hoping I also have great results at my appointment next Monday. FX for you guys too!
