Success after IF

Beta Number ?

Okay, so now I'm totally confused.  I was Google'ing betas and such and a lot of stuff I read said you're not even considered 'pregnant' unless your beta is at least 25 and that any number between 5 and 25 is a gray area.  It kinda seemed to me from what I read that this is most likely a chemical.  

I don't understand why everyone was like, "Yup, you're pregnant!" today and talking about setting up ultrasounds and everything???  

With my DD my beta at 11 DPO was 113, with DS it was 116 at 13 DPO.  I know I'm only 9 DPO today, but it should definitely be higher than 11, right?  

Dammit.  Now I'm freaking out.

Re: Beta Number ?

  • Depends if the beta test was qualative or quantative (can't begin to tell you the technical differences there...it might just be a result difference).  For quantative, some labs use a cut off of 5, others use a cut off of 10.  For qualative,

  • I've never even been tested that early, but since it takes so long for the embryo to actually implant you probably really only started producing HCG very recently. Your levels have to start somewhere. I would agree that it might look like a c/p if your be

    Mine was 9.62 for my FET at 13dpo, so at 9dpo a number of 11 might be ok, but mine ended up being a chemical.   Let us know what the beta comes back at.  Sending lots of positive doubling vibes your way!!

  • Your LO could have just implanted.  I mean, sometimes implantation does not occur until after day 9!  A beta has to start somewhere.  9 DPO is really early. And I think the reason they are saying "Yup, you are pregnant" is because i

  • I can't stop thinking about how much higher my betas were with my other kids (even though I know those were taken a few days later).  

    And boooo, it looks like beta base is down!

  • I'm no expert, but I think 11 at 9dpo is great. It's just that most women wouldn't have a beta so early, so you don't have anything to compare it to. Congrats on your good news!
