First Beta

Is 86.  They said it was normal, though not high.  Is this bad?  I'm freaking out.  I'm 9 days past 5 day transfer.

Re: First Beta

  • I am no help with the actual numbers, although I think the main thing is that they double, so FX for strong doubling numbers.

  • As long as they said it  was normal, I would try not to freak out.  I know it is easier said then done.  I'm freaking out even though they said I have a "strong number".  Sorry I couldn't be more helpful-but I really don't have a lot of info/experience with beta numbers.  I'm sure they would have told you if it was bad. Do you have another beta on Friday?
