Sorry to not be able to give you the assurance that you want, but it's impossible for anyone to know how good that is without relation to not only how long ago you O'd, but more importantly what your number before this was. The only thing you need to know is whether or not your HCG level is doubling appropriately every 2-3 days. The range of acceptable levels for weeks four to five is broader than you'd believe, so I'd just take that number, smile, and know that you're definitely pregnant. Any more than that, and I'd trust what your doctor says. If they aren't worried, you shouldn't be either.
HCG levels fluctuate from woman to woman. You can't tell much from jsut one result. But it def means you are pregnant! Are you getting another one done?

TFAS Sept 2012
Made so many amazing bump friends along the way... Congrats to my bump besties and IRL friends..sbuxsweetie (Colin is here, and is going to be a big brother!),kellbranc (Luca is growing so fast) and lots of prayers and baby dust to willamina (HUGS) So blessed to have met these ladies!!!
I was 14dpo when I got it done.....I'm guessing it's good b/c it seems the average is 48 when I googled it. They never mentioned getting it retested, but I only talked to the nurse, she said the file will go on the Dr's desk and then she'll call me back
well....what did the doctor say? you had bloodwork done last week, you had numbers. you have this blood work now. is your doctor pleased with the numbers? i will ask you again - do you even talk to your doctor??

Listen, I wasn't being rude and don't tell me what to do. I think you are being rude.
Asking a board, "is 313 good?" is dumb. You should ask your doctor. I don't see how that can be hard to understand.
I might not read all of your posts because you post SOOO many and you post them in duplicate (on here and on January Moms). I am not the first person to call you out on this. I've tried to be nice, but really this is getting ridiculous.
Some of these replies are just ridiculous. She's newly pregnant, excited, anxious and looking for a little reassurance. Do we need to be doctors to do that? I don't think so.
Kelly, Mom to Christopher Shannon 9.27.06, Catherine Quinn 2.24.09, Trey Barton lost on 12.28.09, Therese Barton lost on 6.10.10, Joseph Sullivan 7.23.11, and our latest, Victoria Maren 11.15.12
Secondary infertility success with IVF, then two losses, one at 14 weeks and one at 10 weeks, then success with IUI and then just pure, crazy luck. Expecting our fifth in May as the result of a FET.

Listen, do not hang up the phone with your doctor or nurse until you have an answer. And frankly, if you doctor or nurse isn't giving you and indication about the numbers when they call, you should be looking for another health care provider anyway.

Some of these replies are just ridiculous. She's newly pregnant, excited, anxious and looking for a little reassurance. Do we need to be doctors to do that? I don't think so.
This one post is not the issue. She has been PWing for days (on two boards - both here and Jan Moms, identical posts) and many of her questions are better suited for a healthcare professional.

For example, no one on second tri is going to know if she should be taking her pills via the mouth or the vag. Considering they are a prescription from her doctor.

...or many that can ultimately be answered in reading any one of the handful of very good books that come recommended by bump folks (standby for post asking for book recs in 5....4.....3...)
additionally, chick is losing sleep at merely 4 weeks because of worry. someone has to tell her to bring the plane in for a landing or she is going to work herself further into a tizzy.

All I'm saying is posting on one board should be sufficient.
I'm done arguing about it........I'm sorry that I'm concerned about something, I'm sorry I asked a question about something I've NEVER done before, I'm sorry I''m nervous. It must be great to be so relaxed through this whole process, but I worry...that's my nature. Congrats to you for knowing it all and know worrying....I wish I could be that way but I'm not. Do you not ask your friends opinions on things that have no business answering, but it just makes you feel better to talk about.

I've heard horror stories and personally I'd rather talk to someone who has taken it then the person who just writes a script for it

I really do understand. My very first few posts ever on the bump were about beta numbers with my DD. I was so nervous and I didnt think they looked right and I was trying to figure it all out.
But all you can do is wait. I think 313 at 14DPO is great. I was 237 at 13DPO with DD. But it's very very true that all women have different betas (the spectrum of "good" is huge) and that it's more important how the value doubles versus what the first value is.
You are pregnant. Enjoy it! I promise it will go by so fast and you'll wish you enjoyed every second more.

That's all I was doing!
Honestly, you seem to be losing it.
Let me tell you, I was scared freaking crapless up until the first part of mysequential scan yesterday. Like I cried a few times kind of crapless. After weekly ultrasounds with the RE up until 9 weeks, then no heart beat via doppler at 10 weeks, I was sure every single awful thing I ever read on all of the interwebz would happen to me.
But guess what? I called my doctor. She assured me my symptoms subsiding was normal at this point. She told me how common anxiety is at this point, especially with people who have seen an RE and have been closely monitored in the beginning.
I read some books.
I did not post 64 times a day on three different message boards "OMG I am not puking and I can't hear the heartbeat with a Playskool doctor's kit, what should I do????"

Thank you so much, that's all I was looking for. When I called they just said it was 313 and I asked what that meant and the nurse said she wasn't sure but the Dr will look at it and call later...of course that drove me nuts b/c it's more waiting

you can't wait a few hours for a call?
asking questions is fine, we all ask our friends. I have a few recent moms who are my ute advisors and talk me off the ledge. I would go nuts without them.
but on behalf of all the other nervous first time (and even 2nd time) pregnant dames around here, I implore you to find some relaxation techniques. because all of your running around like a chicken with its head cut off is going to drive you battier than you already are.

I'm sorry you went through all of that....but your lucky that your Dr talked to you each time. I keep getting nurses who ask whatever Dr they can get ahold of and that I've never met. Through all of this I've talked to only nurses, and I figured since so many girls were going through the same thing I could get reassurance here.

Right, sometimes multiple times a day, the same day you're asking, often on the same page. They all contain the same info. Just saying.
PCOS Dx 12.08 / BFP! 4.22.10 DS1 born 1.4.11 DS2 born 6.19.13
You're going to have a LOT of questions in this process. We all do!! However, YOU need to be your own healthcare advocate. ASK YOUR DOCTOR. If you've never had the test before, you should say "Nurse Sally, I've never had this test before. What does that mean? Is 313 good? What are my next steps?"
Stand up for yourself. Ask. Ask. Ask. Everytime you think of a health-related question, write it down. Call your doctor.
We use the boards for confirmation, and yes, quick medical questions....like "Hey, has anyone had gas like this before?" or "What's your favorite cure for m/s?" However, most of the time, we know when to call a doctor and ask a professional.
Start being an advocate for your own health. We can't do it for you.
ETA: If you don't trust doctors, you've got other issues that are beyond anything you're dealing with now. Seriously? You don't trust doctors?
I heart you.

Re: HCG level was 313.....
Very! Check out this site: https://babymed.com/Tools/Pregnancy/hCG/Default.aspx
Assuming your beta was from yesterday (14DPO) and assuming it doubles in two days, you can see your value compared to "normal" values:

The thing is, if you look back at my posts on Jan...I got no answers b/c nobody was on them. I get Dr's are better to talk to but in my honest opinion I don't trust everything they say. I've heard horror stories and personally I'd rather talk to someone who has taken it then the person who just writes a script for it

I really do understand. My very first few posts ever on the bump were about beta numbers with my DD. I was so nervous and I didnt think they looked right and I was trying to figure it all out.
But all you can do is wait. I think 313 at 14DPO is great. I was 237 at 13DPO with DD. But it's very very true that all women have different betas (the spectrum of "good" is huge) and that it's more important how the value doubles versus what the first value is.
You are pregnant. Enjoy it! I promise it will go by so fast and you'll wish you enjoyed every second more.
Honestly, you seem to be losing it.
Let me tell you, I was scared freaking crapless up until the first part of mysequential scan yesterday. Like I cried a few times kind of crapless. After weekly ultrasounds with the RE up until 9 weeks, then no heart beat via doppler at 10 weeks, I was sure every single awful thing I ever read on all of the interwebz would happen to me.
But guess what? I called my doctor. She assured me my symptoms subsiding was normal at this point. She told me how common anxiety is at this point, especially with people who have seen an RE and have been closely monitored in the beginning.
I read some books.
I did not post 64 times a day on three different message boards "OMG I am not puking and I can't hear the heartbeat with a Playskool doctor's kit, what should I do????"
Thank you so much, that's all I was looking for. When I called they just said it was 313 and I asked what that meant and the nurse said she wasn't sure but the Dr will look at it and call later...of course that drove me nuts b/c it's more waiting
you can't wait a few hours for a call?
asking questions is fine, we all ask our friends. I have a few recent moms who are my ute advisors and talk me off the ledge. I would go nuts without them.
but on behalf of all the other nervous first time (and even 2nd time) pregnant dames around here, I implore you to find some relaxation techniques. because all of your running around like a chicken with its head cut off is going to drive you battier than you already are.
I'm sorry you went through all of that....but your lucky that your Dr talked to you each time. I keep getting nurses who ask whatever Dr they can get ahold of and that I've never met. Through all of this I've talked to only nurses, and I figured since so many girls were going through the same thing I could get reassurance here.
All of my questions have been valid questions that everyone has asked at some point on this board, and I've never replied any mean comment to anyone on any board ever, so I don't know why I'm getting that response back. If I see a post that's' stupid or I can't relate too I don't read it or skip it
believe it or not someone telling me it's ok relaxes me...Nobody knows i'm pregnant in real life so I have nobody to talk to. I've also found that the response on thebump relax me more the googling something, that's why I don't just google it
i just don't believe it. you posted on 1st tri and on jan moms and on south jersey bumpies about your anxiety.
Umm, I've never been on South jersey bumpies, good to know I have a fan....but never been there before
Get ready girls. It's only just beginning. She was a notorious cross-poster on Nest GP, TTGP, etc. while TTCing.
south jerZ nest . forgive me my error.
This. That is all.
Right, sometimes multiple times a day, the same day you're asking, often on the same page. They all contain the same info. Just saying.
Have you guys seen the movie Meatballs? You know, the camp movie from the early 80's with Bill Murray?
Repeat after me! "It just doesn't matter. It just doesn't matter!"
So, what if she posts a lot, "IT JUST DOESN'T MATTER!"
With love, SOS
I heart you.
