little nervous

So last Tuesday I went for bloodwork and because I will be high risk (for my sake do to radiation to part of my heart) they did my betas. Tues was 14dpo for me and my betas were 2!4 my doc office said that was a little low they wanted more in the 500s. Everywhere I've looked and researched 214 is in range for 14dpo but nonetheless I had to wait til tomorrow for more bloodwork because they were closed all 4 days for the holiday. I tried to relax about it all weekend but now I'm starting to get nervous that my levels won't be adequate.

Re: little nervous

  • I don't know why they would say that is low. It sounds perfect to me. Try not to worry. Mine were 441 at 17dpo and they are supposed to double every 48 hours or so, that would put me right in your range and my RE was fine with that. Hang in there.

  • Mine were 49 at 14 dpo, and I've got a beating heart in there :) The only thing that matters is if they double on time. Good luck!

  • Mine were 4 at 14 DPO and 23 at 16 DPO and my dr. was very content with that! I now have a HB, and a growing baby! As long as your numbers double, that's all that matters, but your first number looks just fine to me!

  • Thank you ladies. I guess I should have said I'm worried they wouldn't have quadrupled or such since its been almost a week. My symptoms are minimal and seemed to have subsided a bit (which I know is common) so they haven't done much to ease mg nerves.
  • Stay positive.. Good Luck tomorrow and keep us posted.. I think so long as they rise adequately it's ok--not so much the number...

  • My nurse said they were expecting at least a 50 for my 14dpo beta so yours sounds perfectly fine! Good luck!
