hCG levels.. need advice

my2furbabies

Hi guys! I need a little advice. I had an ectopic pregnancy a few years ago and after all this time my dh i just got a BFP (last weekend). I saw the dr on tues and had my first beta check.They are monitoring my levels due to my history. And scheduled me for an u/s next thursday.

 My first levels from b/w i took yesterday came in today and they're 53. I have an appt tomorrow for another test to make sure the numbers double (at least).

 Anyone have any similar stories of history with numbers this early on? Is 53 a good sign? I can't remember my numbers from the ectopic (its been 4 years) but is 53 a possible number for an ectopic as well?

 I know I need to get  through tomorrows test and results before anyone can really tell but I'm just looking for a little anything to break my nerves.

Thank you all! I appreciate any advice.

How many DPO are you? At 11DPO mine was only a 23, then 2 days later 260, followed by 955 2 days later. I had an ectopic before this pg also. It's not the first # that counts, but the doubling. Did they check progesterone?

At 10 DPO my betas were only 26...it's the doubling that matters, so don't worry about the initial #. GL!

Wow! Congrats! Its stories like yours that really help me right now. I'm so afraid to go through an ectopic again and everything I read online says my chances are higher due to going through one already. I'm approx 12 days past ovulation and my levels yesterday were 53.

 I'm not sure about the progesterone. I can ask tomorrow.

I agree with the other ladies, its really the doubling that counts. If it makes you feel better my level was only 32 at 12dpo. GL!

sounds like a great starting number. At 10 dpo mine were 20.1 then 2 days later at 12 dpo they were 67.4! GL

My first number was only 46 and it was 86 two days later.  I think I'm a success story for low betas

Oh i am right there with you.  I went in for my first draw at 14 (poss 15 DPO) and they were 53 as well.  2 days later they almost doubled... they were at 102.  the nurse said it was fine and set my first u/s for Aug. 10.

I still feel like mine were really low, but since they doubled everyone assured me that it should be ok.  I will keep you in my thoughts and will be looking forward to your update.
