Pregnant after a Loss

Quick intro and question

Hey Everyone!

Quick intro and back story.  My husband and I started TTC in Nov 09.  We got pg the first time in Jan with twins and then miscarried in Mar. Then in May we had a chemical pg and now in Jul I found out I am pg again.  I am hoping this is our lucky #3!!  :)  I am 31 and my DH is 29.  

This go round the doctor has been monitoring my betas.  At 14 DPO they were 70, then at 17 DPO they were 256 and at 20 DPO they were 420.  I had my blood drawn again today (I was on vacation and couldn't get it done sooner), but haven't gotten the results back yet.  For those of you who have had your betas monitored does this seem ok?  I know there is a wide variance on "normal" and I have looked at websites like betabase.info, but I'm just not sure what to think.  Thanks ladies!

Re: Quick intro and question

  • I'm so sorry for your losses... A big congrats on your recent BFP.

    Yes, betas vary quite a bit.  The important thing is that they double approx every 48 hours.. which yours are doing nicely.

    My betas were

    19 DPO 278

    22 DPO 677

    24 DPO 1883

    I am now 17 1/2 weeks along and doing well.

    Good luck!

  • Thanks for responding! I think I am just super nervous because of my history and then the fact that the last beta didn't double in 3 days.  I am over analyzing everything I am sure.  Thanks again for your support. 

  • Welcome!

    I don't have any input on the numbers, but I really hope that things keep going well for you.

     Congrats on your BFP and hope this is your sticky baby :)
