3rd beta results and a question

PinkTulip85

The last 3 Fridays I have gotten my betas drawn.

Beta 1 (3w3d): 15

Beta 2 (4w3d): 500

Beta 3 (5w3d): 4308

The nurse said she hasn't been able to talk to my doctor about the numbers yet and will call me back with what she says sometime today. But right after she told me my numbers she was like "wow, are you really early?" Scared me to death, like my betas are horrible for my gestation. I told her I was 5w3d at my last blood draw and she told me that she will have to talk to my doctor to see what she thinks. I'm all panicky now that I'm going to have another miscarriage. What do you ladies think? Tell me these numbers are decent because my nurse completely freaked me out!

Hi there I just posted something similar on 1st tri and someone responded with this link:

It look like there can be a lot of variation.  FWIW, I am 5w6d and mine was just 5,024.  They didn't seem overly concerned with mine.  I have to go back for another blood test tomorrow and an us in the next few days.

my doubling time is 54 hours. Decent?

Your doubling time is great, especially given this chart!

"Normal" Doubling Time
hCG levels	Doubling Time
Under 1200 mIU/ml	31-72 hours
Between 1200 to 6000 mIU/ml	72-96 hours
Over 6000 mIU/ml	more than 96 hours

I think your betas look good!

Thanks, looking at other people's numbers make me feel better. If she just gave me the number and that was it I would have felt fine about it, but her tone is what really made me uneasy. I'll just chalk it up to a crazy nurse

If you scroll down a little to the chart it shows what the doubling times should be based on the range of numbers.  From that chart, it looks like your chugging along at a great doubling time.

 

thanks so much ladies! I knew if I came here I wouldn't have to have a nervous breakdown waiting to hear from the doctor

My RE likes to see doubling every 72 hours so that looks good to me!

Ditto, the further along you get the slower the doubling time is.  Your betas are looking great!
