1st beta= 62.1-FET-experience/opinions?

laurajeff

Hi everyone,

I posted on the TTC board and thought this would also be a good place.  My history is IVF #1=BFN, FET=chem. beta-14, IVF#2=BFN, and now FET#2-

We had one lonely 6dt blast left.  It was perfect, hatching on the day it was frozen.  Well, on the day of thaw it had not finished re-expanding to its original state (hatching) when it was transferred.

I got a bfp the first time I tested on 7dpblast transfer (not sure whether to count it as 5 or 6 day because it was still re-expanding).  On 8dp5/6dt I begged the nurse for early beta.  It was 62.1. Now I have to wait until Monday for the next one.  My question is,  has anyone else had a beta starting this low and what was your experience (GOOD and BAD-give it to me straight). It seems quite low compared to others. Thanks girls!

I had an IUI, but at 12 dpiui, which would be 7dp5dt, I was only at 27. His Pic is in my siggy!

My beta on 10dp5dt of two blasts was 68 - so 62 now is great in my book!  The key, as always, is whether it doubles, but the number itself is just fine. Congrats!

Mine was around 47 I think on the equivalent of 13dpo.  It was also a frozen.  I think it's definitely promising!

13dpiui mine was 50.  GL!

Take it and run with it!!!  My first beta was 51 (i think, see siggy).  Good luck, you are knocked up!!!

my 1st beta was a 64 and the next one was a little more than doubled and even #3 was a good 100 more than doubled. however, at my u/s i did find out from my RE that by the 3rd beta he was hoping for a # between 800-1000 (mine was a little less than 1/2 of the lower end of the range). but, we saw a heartbeat at the 6w2d u/s and the next one at 7w2d showed an expected 1 week of growth and an increase in heart rate (went from 118 to 138). my hcg also finally got closer to normal range at the 1st u/s, too (even though it was still a smidge less than the lower end of the range--but no where near 1/2 of that number). i didn't get the hcg results from the b/w i had w/my u/s yesterday.

basically, i share all that to say to not give up hope, but to also stay cautious though the process. my dr. was very encouraging after my 2nd u/s yesterday.

My first beta at 9dp3dt (2 embryos) was 19.1.  My beta at 11dp3dt was 54 and at 15dp3dt was 390...and here I am at 21 weeks.  Your beta sounds pretty good to me!  Good luck with doubling.

my beta after my first FET bfp was 42 (can't remember the dpo) and the nurse warned me it might not be viable. well the beta went on to triple within 48 hours, and we saw a hb at 6 weeks. We did m/c that one, but I was still encouraged by how the betas rose so quickly after the initial low one.

good luck!!!

Yes, mine was in the low 60s around the same total time as yours (fresh transfer though) and he's turning 1 tomorrow.

Congrats!

mine was 53 with a FET around the same time.  DD is now 14 months.  It's a great number. Enjoy, and congrats!

Hey there!

I don't think you need to worry at all - FET's always start out much lower. My FET beta #1 was 9dp5dt and it was 144. My RE nurse has told me to expect that I could easily have twins. So, 62 would sound great for a singleton! I don't know that it's even possible for me to have twins, but I definitely think it's possible for you to have a healthy singleton!

Good luck and congrats!!!!!!!

Late to this post, but first of all congrats!!! My FET beta was 8dp6dt and it was only 56 - I tried to not think about the number and just be thrilled it was positive. I had a HUGE jump at my next beta to over 600 and one heartbeat on u/s. FET betas can start slowly. GOOD LUCK!!
