Beta #2...

Pnut30

Beta#2 @ 22dp5dt: 5430

That is up from 1017 @ 15dp5dt.... I put it in betabase and it is doubling time of 69.52 hours..Im trying not to over think/analyze but is that a good increase?

Thanks!

I think I've posted this before, but I am so glad my RE never gave numbers. He told me I was pg. and said he'd confirm one week later with an u/s. I feel bad for every single one of you girls who post these posts and are so worried. It has to be crazy maddening!

Yes, a bit maddening! Oh and my Dr. puts it on a website you can check in at called mychart so I sit here refreshing and refreshing the screen until it pops up.... I literally just had my blood drawn at 8:30!

Nevermind about my worry... I just found this info...  "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 was nervous because I always hear it should double every 48-72 hours so 69 would be on the high side but since my first beta was over 1000 it looks like I am good....

I am just nervous because I am really not having any symptoms at all. I know I should consider myself lucky but at the same time it really makes me question whether this is even real! My u/s isn't until next Tuesday.

Congrats! Try not to worry! It's still in normal range and once it's over a certain point, doubling times slow down.

Looks good to me! Trying not to over analyze it is hard, but you doubled in a good time frame. There are ladies who double outside the norm and still have very successful pregnancies! Also, keep in mind,  the higher the beta # the weired the doubling gets. My RE didn't do a 3rd on me because it would have been over 1000 and he throws those out and waits on a u/s because he doesn't think they tell him anything reliable - of course the u/s feels like it is years away from today

Hang in there - you are pg today!!

The doubling time starts to increase once you get into the thousands. You're doing great.

It sounds great honestly.  Try not to make yourself nuts, I had no symptoms for a long time and things are just fine.  Congrats hon!

Thank you all so much for the kind words! I guess I would feel better if I threw up or something!

This!  I had very minimal symptoms up until now.

Now the nausea kicked in and oooh....  just be glad that you're NOT nauseous at the moment

Sounds good to me. As you can see from my siggy, my betas never doubled within 48 hours. Totally normal .
