I meant to post my hcg results yesterday but got distracted! Mine were:
12dpo: 130
14dpo: 346
16dpo: 713
20dpo: 4,638 (or something like that, I forgot to write the last one down)

@offtoneverland those #s sound great! Hoping for something similar!

@offtoneverland out of curiosity, is it standard practice in the states to get regular BHCG level checks? A lot of people are posting that they have had multiples drawn so I got worried that I haven't. So I texted my Dr, and he says they just do it to confirm pregnancy or follow a MC. 
I would love the reassurance of seeing those numbers double though haha.  So I was just wondering if it's standard practice down there?

offtoneverland

@babybrain2018 it is usually only common practice for people with a history of loss or those who've had fertility treatments. *TW* I had 3 early losses last year and had started seeing an RE for testing, so that's why I had so many. *End TW*
Don't be at all concerned you haven't had one. Consider yourself lucky! Although I totally understand wanting that reassurance besides just an HPT.

goldfishcraker

@offtoneverland ok thank you! The doc said we would have done one, but since I had the early US it was irrelevant to confirm with blood tests. But I still. It would be nice! Haha

Got my first beta today and it was 51 with a progesterone of 15.5. I'm 12dpIUI so might be 12dpo but can't tell because I don't temp. I'm a little nervous because it was so low but my doctor said that everything is fine and this early he wouldn't really expect it to be much higher. We are rechecking levels in 4 days.

Mine were 220 at 15dpo and 523 at 17dpo. The highest ones I've ever had (even with my son they didn't double correctly initially) so I'm trying to stay cautiously optimistic.

I had my first beta today at 10dp5dt, 101!  Not rechecking until next Monday.

First beta today at 16dpo 732.37!! Waiting on doc to call to back *twiddling thumbs*

linz36

@lurvleybunchococonuts wow that beta is awesome!!!!

KristoKekerooni

@lurvleybunchococonuts , WOW! Excellent numbers! Out of curiosity, even though it means nothing,,, how many follies did you have? 

Ya'll make me stress about my betas. 
My first at 9dp5dt was only 59. And at 13dp5dt was only 261.. It's doubling but so much lower than everyone else's.

lurvleybunchococonuts

@KristoKekerooni had 2 at my cd13 scan making me slightly nervous lmao although very true means nothing at this point. And slow and steady is a good way to be your little bee is taking his/her time and aint nothing wrong with that

linz36

@KristoKekerooni my beta was low too but my doctor says it’s fine. I guess everyone is different.

offtoneverland

@lurvleybunchococonuts Hooray for a good beta! I'm so excited for you! FWIW, my beta was roughly the same as yours at 16dpo and I only have one little bean. I know the numbers mean nothing by themselves though! 
@KristoKekerooni As long as your betas are doubling that's all that matters. There was a huuuge range of "normal" beta numbers on betabase. Mine was way above the average, which I thought was weird, but it really means nothing!

::lurking::

@KristoKekerooni My first beta was only like 43 at 12 dpo and the second was (Edited because I can't remember the exact number but I know it was lower than your second beta). As others have said, there's a huge range of normal numbers and the doubling is all that matters  

linz36

Thanks for the info @beanship!!! My 12dpiui was 51 and I don’t have another one scheduled until Friday.

lurvleybunchococonuts

So Beta #2 was this AM!  16DPO Beta #1: 732.37 and 18DPO Beta #2: 1278.36

offtoneverland

Yay @lurvleybunchococonuts ! That's fantastic news! 

middleschoolmommy

Got my results this morning! First draw 220, FOLLOW-UP draw in a week. I have no idea how many dpo. She checked hcg more for dating purposes since I have PCOS. 

KristoKekerooni

@lurvleybunchococonuts , how are you feeling about that number?  

lurvleybunchococonuts

@KristoKekerooni Lol... I'm okay with out, slightly nerve wrecking cause it didn't quite double, but according to Dr. Google it's still within normal range/normal increase.  Just (im)patiently waiting for the doctor to call me.  I wish my regular OB weren't on maternity leave (which is kind of a jerk comment) but I know her and she'd have messaged me back by now.  They're getting a call tonight if nothing is relayed back to me back 4:00pm.

I just wanted to say to the ladies who are concerned, please don't worry about your betas. Like pps said, the numbers mean nothing as long as they are doubling and even when they don't, it doesn't mean that they won't next time. This is a very happy time for you. Please do something nice for yourself and baby today. So many hugs to you and all the prayers!  

offtoneverland

@lurvleybunchococonuts What a jerky doctor for going on maternity leave!  I'm sorry you didn't get a call yet about the number. A lot of people say that it should double every 48 hours, but most places online say it should double every 48-72 hours, so your number still looks really good, I think. I know it's still really stressful though.

my first beta is monday! although every test I take the line is darker so I'm feeling pretty confident but it will feel good to have the test results to back me up!

serah-2

i'm a little freaked out.  My beta was 84 15 dpo.  My doctor said it should be around 2000? I have to go repeat on Monday.  hopefully its ok!

Maybe you o'd later than usual? I'll be praying for you!
But I've never heard of it having to be that high at 15dpo. My doctor does two and just makes sure the second test doubled the first one within 48hrs!

marfi236

@serah-2 Mine was 101 on effectively 15dpo (10dp5dt) and they told me that it was right where it should be for that point.  I wouldn’t worry!!

soehlerk

@serah-2 At 16dpo (Monday), mine was only 164, and my RE was perfectly happy w/ that.  It had been 35 at 13DPO.  I dislike these threads (sorry) b/c some of us will have lower HCG #s, but still within a normal range--seeing others who are in the 1000s just makes us nervous.  I'm going in for one more beta at 24DPO; I'm really hoping it catches up to those big numbers then.

Mine was 123 @ 15DPO and my doctor didn't say anything about it. Was it your first blood draw? Will they do another?

serah-2

Hey ladies thanks for your replies.  Yes, @vicioustrollop it was my first blood draw.  Repeat is on Monday.  After seeing the rest of your numbers I feel a bit better.  I know i ovulated on 25 Feb.  I just wonder why the doc thought it should be so high?

vicioustrollop

My numbers are doubling well, but aren't super high which worries me still...I know people say the doubling is what matters but still

11dpo = 14
13dpo = 47
15dpo = 123
18dpo = 564
21dpo = 1,844 (today @ 5W1D)

@serah-2 - I don't have a clue why your doctor thought it should be that high. I think that's incredibly high for 15dpo. I look at beta base (https://www.betabase.info/chart/basic/single) for averages (but remember they are averages so a little higher or lower is fine). It appears most people don't have betas over 2000 until 21-22dpo. Doubling rate is more important than the actual number. Hope your repeat brings you some peace of mind! 

KristoKekerooni

@serah-2 , girl, you good. Mine was only 59, and I am doubling fine. 

serah-2

Thanks ladies! My doctor is a little overboard because my last pregnancy was high risk and I had several complications.  Thanks for keeping me sane!

Got my second beta today at 16dpiui and it’s 550 (12dpiui was 51)...so I’m super happy!!!

That is a GREAT increase. Congrats!!

lauragrayslp

Mine was 59 12dpIUI. Recheck on Monday. 

marfi236

Finally got my second beta today!! On 17dp5dt my beta is 3061!  My first beta on 10dp5dt was 101!  I’m so relieved!

prairiemomma82

Just got my second result!
6049 5w6d
12091 6w2d

Ultrasound tomorrow morning and repeat labs on Wednesday. Dr google says slightly slower doubling than average? Trying to be chill until I see/hear more. Would be over the moon to hear a heart beat tomorrow

middleschoolmommy

@marfi236 and @prairiemomma82 so glad you got good numbers! I honestly don't know how far along I am so when they told me 220, I don't know if its good or not. I'm guestimating I'm between 5 and 6 weeks, so hopefully my next draw will be consistent with that range.
