1st Trimester

Beta levels

I had a beta drawn yesterday at 11 DPO. just got it back the results 32. I'm only 3 weeks and 5 days today. Is 32 ok? My doc is not worried at all. She didn't want me to come back to have a second level drawn. But I asked if I could for my peace of mind. Should I be concerned about this level or is this ok?

Re: Beta levels

  • With my first pregnancy I had my betas drawn at 11 DPO too. They came back 30.5, I was also very worried. But of course it was just really early and they did go up when I had them drawn 3 days later. They were over 130 the following Monday (I had my first blood drawn on a Friday).

    Try not to worry, the only thing that matters is that they double every 48 hours.

  • Its not the initial number thats what you should be looking at, you should be looking for the number to double in 48 hours. I would ask your dr. for a second beta just to be sure. the first few weeks of pregnancy can be so nerve-racking I would do it just for peace of mind.

  • My first beta with DD was 31 at 12 dpo. Its early, but that number is fine! I would definitely push for a second one to ease your mind. Congrats!

  • You need to have another draw tomorrow, that'll really tell you something.  Anything over 25 is pregnant (below 5 is not pregnant, between 5 and 25 be either BFP or BFN from what I've read).  You want your numbers to double every 48-72 hours.  Based on the info on betabase.info, your number looks good.

  • I had my first Beta done. 12dpo.  It was at 211.  My second Beta was done three days later and was at 445.  I was told this was a little bit high and may be twins but we won't know until my first ultra sound.  I actually had to go through IVF which is why my doctor has me going for the blood work every three days and which is why it is highly possible that they are twins. 

    Before IVF we lost a few and knew so by the beta levels.  So I totally understand your concern for wanting to know your levels.  If I were you, I would insist on having another blood draw just so that you don't stress yourself.  Not knowing has to be one of the worst feelings in the world. 

     I wish you the best and the happiest and healthiest baby !
