Success after IF

beta didn't double

I am so worried. My betas are not doubling. My last beta was a week ago and was 893. Today was 2353. That's not even close. I am so scared. they want me to come in for a 5th beta on monday.

Re: beta didn't double

  • Hi, I'll be sending you good vibes!!!  Don't betas stop doubling at around 1000 or so.  Does your Dr. seem converned?

  • What did your doctor say? Those numbers look pretty good to me. No, they didn't exactly double, but they are strong! My numbers never doubled...see siggie.

    Good luck! I hope you get good news Monday!

  • My betas didn't double either, there are quite a few success stories that never doubled.  I know what you are going through, try to stay positive!!

  • Thanks so much. I am all teary. My doctor is on vacation. The nurse said to "not worry" and she also mentioned "it being early to know if it is a viable pregnancy". I am so scared. Thanks for the wishes.
  • I'm so sorry, and I really hope everything works out for you. When is your 1st u/s? It seems like you're far enough along where they would be able to tell how you're progressing that way. I'll keep my fingers crossed that it's your baby is a sticky one. Good luck!

  • I remember hearing that too (that betas stop doubling). 

    Has your doctor said anything about doing an u/s anytime soon?

    I hope you get good news soon!

  • Oh no...I'm sorry! I hope everything is OK. Did your doctor seem concerned?
  • I think I also heard that they aren't supposed to double after 1000, which means, you're probably fine. It just need to keep going up! I'll be thinking about you!?

    Can you just request an u/s?? You are far along now where you should be able to see something on the u/s......that way you wouldn't have to fret over another beta?

    Like others have said, there are so many girls on this board with non-doubling beta success stories!

    GL and keep us posted.......

  • My first couple of beta's didn't double either (see siggy) As you can also see in my siggy...my non-doubling betas worked out :)
  • I noticed by your signature you are 6 wks.  Will your doctor be doing a HB scan anytime soon?  I think if you have a good HB it is much more important than text book betas.  GL!  Try to stay positive.
