Intro and Question

sparklingdiamond

I am cautiously introducing myself here.  I had done some fertility treatments in the past few months.  I got pregnant in December, but had a miscarriage in January.  We took a break from treatment and I just found out I was pregnant on my own two days ago.  I am obviously still scared that this one won't stick.  Have any of you here had early betas?  I had only yesterday (at only 11 dpo) and they said it was 26.21.  Which I thought was a great number for being so early, but they said they like it to be at 50 and basically "we will see what happens".  My repeat is on Monday.  I look online and it seems like my number is within the acceptable range for only being 11 DPO.  So I was just curious if anyone else had an early beta?

Hey @sparklingdiamond, I'm not much personal help but we do have a weekly appointment thread and I know a lot of the women there are having betas early and having their levels followed. Maybe they might be able to help?

Thank you, I didn't see it before!  I just posted there!

@sparklingdiamond, definitely introduce yourself on the official introduction thread too!

As far as your betas question: earch woman and each pregnancy have wildly different betas that are all considered "good". Unfortunately there is no conclusion you can draw from just one number.  Your next draw will tell you if the pregnancy is healthy or not.  Fingers crossed for you!

Yea, I thought it was the doubling that mattered, not one number, so I guess I was just surprised they would jump to the conclusion that it wasn't a good number.

For kid 2, my first beta was a 10.  I'm sorry they were so insensitive!
