Anyone had betas yet?

melewen

Title says it all: has anyone had betas yet? How many DPO and what were your numbers?

jillyn10

21 dpo I was 4110

13DPO-242 15DPO-796, I did a third one on 17DPO and haven't called for the results yet. My doc seemed pleased with the first two. Any insight on these numbers would be great! FTM.

melewen

@hannerbananers I wish i knew! Yours are definitely in a good range though from what I saw on my results. Mine was 80 at 12 dpo (I’m pretty sure I implanted on 9dpo) which was a lot lower than my first, but also earlier. Hoping it’s normal (though the charts say it’s higher than average, I just still have major first tri anxiety!)

My OB doesn't do this. Are you all asking for it, or are you high risk? I wish mine would offer it but I get nothing until 8 weeks!

Unless someone has a history of miscarriage or asks for it, most don’t do it. And most receiving treatment from and RE also get betas.

My OB ordered it because I have irregular cycles. 

OP I was 81 on Wednesday and 239 on Friday. Don't know DPO exactly but I *think* I was 10/11 DPO first draw

If your doc seemed pleased then that's great! There's not much insight anyone here can provide other than that your numbers are within a normal range and that they are increasing appropriately.

Now I’m nervous mine are low!

melewen

Not sure what happened to the rest of my post but... hoping they’ll let me do some betas at my OB’s office Monday! I did my first at a walk in because my OB was like ok girl see you next week... hahah. Actually, they were like “see ya mid January” and I managed to get a sooner appointment. I don’t do well without data, hahaha

ecwk

@melewen did I have have a second draw? It's not so much your first number that matters as it is that it doubles appropriately! 

ecwk

@melewen so your OB ordered one draw but not a follow up?? 

StephieBears88

My first one was 374 the second one 3 days later was 1443. The dr hasn't ordered any more since everything was doubling. 

hotairballoons99

I’ve had 4 done at work. First OB appt is this week so I’m not sure if they’ll draw more. 

15 dpo 274
18 dpo 615

25 dpo 5777
28dpo 10814

first pregnancy it was 4127 at 22dpo and 7118 at 24 DPO

daniellem-22

I've had betas done because I have a history of miscarriages and deemed high risk. I had a BFP at 8 dpo then betas drawn:

10dpo: 33
12dpo: 90
My doctor was happy with these so we didn't do anymore.
@melewen Your numbers seem just fine. They are supposed to be that low that early on and your numbers are actually in the higher range so try not to stress!

11dpo at 67 and 14dpo at 184.8 - my doctor was pleased and just looking for it to be over 100 today! 

kindbytealikat

I sent a message into me doctor about getting some. When I called to schedule my appointment they offered them to me because of my history, I told her I would think about it. Now that things are setting in I'm getting more anxious. I asked if we'd just a couple or if we'd check periodically up until my ultrasound. I should hear from her tomorrow.

jlo629

1st one at 12 DPO was 85 and I had one done at 14 DPO this weekend but I will not get the results until tomorrow.  I am nervous!

jlo629

48 hours later my 85 went to 201!  Dr has not commented to hoping he is also happy with it!!!

jordan-jenna

17 DPO was 4,171 and 20 DPO was 11,076
Haven’t chatted with the doctor yet. I was so nervous for the results. Extremely thankful that they’re increasing.

ecwk

My last draw was Friday am and it was 239 and just got the results of yesterday's afternoon draw and they were 1291. Pretty pumped rn! U/S scheduled for the first week in January!  

flowerdevourer

I had my first draw last Friday at 4w5d. I still am not 100% on the date so I could be a day or two off due to chemical pregnancy last cycle. The nurse called me yesterday morning and told me my hcg was at 7,720! I have my first ultrasound appointment on the 22nd.

laurad75

I had my first beta today 10dp5dt: 337
I will go back Friday morning for another draw.

17dpo 693.9
25dpo 15,153.8

was worried about twins after the second beta but just had a sono and theirs one little babe in there!!

daniellem-22

My beta for 32dpo: 43, 000. 
I had to go to the ER today for some flank pain, and they wanted to rule out ectopic so they did an abdominal ultrasound. Only one little baby in there. I also saw the fluttering of it's heart. I'm 6w 4d today, and "she" is measuring exactly. Super strange because I had really low, slow rising HCG with my son, and he was always off by a few days to a week every time they measured him.

@LilyGracesMommy those numbers do seem high! I was curious about twins too after he told me 43, 000 and I'm also a fraternal twin myself so definitely increases my odds! Only one though

twinter91

@laurad75 are you a surrogate? 

laurad75

@twinter91 No, we used a egg donor.  

twinter91

@laurad75 congrats! Your terminology threw me off as its similar to surrogacy lingo as they are both IVF i am a gestational surrogate and am currently 11dp5dt. I just had my first betas come back today at 776. will go again Saturday to make sure doubling. Very happy for you and hope Friday goes just as well!

hezzer78

I had my first beta on Monday and it was 89. On wednesday it was 220 - so I'm happy. I have no idea how many DPO I was on Monday - probaby around 12DPO or so? 

aehenderson421

16 on 11/30 10DPO
164 on 12/04 14DPO
1346 on 12/08 18DPO
9841 on 12/12 22DPO (ultrasound this day - too early for heartbeat)
Our next appt is Tuesday.

laurad75

2nd beta today 13dp5dt : 1106 very pleased

jray6456

I had mine done yesterday and it was only a 13 at about 13 dpo. I go in Monday for a second round of testing. I’m so worried bc I know that’s pretty low. 

Firemanswife11

@jray6456 are you certain of your O date or when you implanted? The numbers can vary SO MUCH those first couple of weeks. 

jray6456

@Firemanswife11 I’m pretty sure my dates are right but thank you for the encouragement. I started experiencing back pain this morning a brown spotting. I’m just going to take it easy over the weekend and see what the doctor says on Monday.

***lurking from April***

@jray6456 for what it’s worth, my first beta draw for this pregnancy was only a 14 (I happened to have my annual the same day I got my BFP and so they did a blood draw, at 10dpo). I was horrified by the number and thought the worst, but it steadily doubled like it should and I’m now approaching third trimester. I never ever got the huge beta numbers that other people seem to get early on. Hang in there, and I’ll be thinking of you! 

jray6456

@kmalls thank you. I’m spotting quite a bit now and having period like cramps. I’m pretty sure I’m in the start of a miscarriage. 

ecwk

@jray6456 really really sorry to hear this. Thinking of you and hoping it turns out ok. 

dirtanddiamonds

@jray6456 I’m so sorry. Sending out a prayer for you and LO. It ain’t over until it’s over. Hugs. 

hardlyhannah

@jray6456 I hope it’s not. Thinking of you
