Beta doubled in 50 hours :-(

Olive21 · May 2009

Got my betas back and I am a bit worried.

13dpo: 286

15dpo: 560

According to betabase it's about 50 hours doubling time.

My doctor asked me to come in for a 3rd today - results tomorrow.

Any advice?

Hang in there and the good news is they are going up..

they should double in 2-3 days so hopefully you should be good

Man, I feel you. I've spent a lot of time studying this while awaiting my results.

First - your numbers are in a great range, so that is a plus right there. My beta just came back at 290 for 16 dpo, so you are looking good.

Second - the normal doubling time is 48-72 hours. You are well within that range right now. It's frustrating not to see a perfect double, but you are awfully close. Try not to worry too much, since you are in the correct window, ok?

this is a good thing- you are in the going in the right direction!!!

Your numbers still look great! 48-72 is the range - you are all good! Check out https://babymed.com/tools/pregnancy/hcg/ to chart your level.

That's fantastic! Your levels are super high to begin with, so a near perfect doubling is amazing!

Here is a great tool for monitoring betas:

Normal doubling time is anywhere from 48-72 hours. You are right on track

Thanks everyone - and thanks for the link.

It was actually about 2 days and 4 hours different (Weds at noon and Friday at 4pm) - so it's a bit worse than that link says b/c it doesn't figure in the extra 4 hours. I am going to try not to worry until I see the results from the draw I did today. I can't find out until tomorrow though - probably in the afternoon. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and giving the baby "grow" pep talks until then...

If it makes you feel any better, my 15DPO beta was 68. And so far, so good! Seriously - you are golden with numbers like that!

I thought it was supposed to double in 48-72 hours, but I suppose I could be wrong. Good luck.

I was told that as long as they double in 48-72 hours they're good. So keep your chin up.

Mrs.DeliaMarieP · May 2009

If it makes you feel any better, my Dr. never ordered any beta's at all, so I have no idea how long they took to double.

I think your levels look pretty decent.

I_am_DCA · May 2009

Your betas look much much better than mine. I wouldn't fret. Only 66% increase (thus up to 72 hours for doubling) is considered normal. Good luck! Try not to worry too much.

ENev · May 2009

You shouldn't be worrying. It's every 48-72 hours they're supposed to double.

Mine were 168 the first time and 286 three whole days later, so they didn't even quite double. Six days after that, though, they were 1,299, so they'd doubled twice. And all's good now!

You are definitely doing just fine.

Those are pretty darn good betas! They are still within the 48-72 hour window and are going in the right direction. I wouldn't worry just yet.

axr8111 · May 2009

I always thought they should double around 48 hours...so 50 hours is pretty close. I wouldn't stress too much over 2 hours. These numbers are good.?

tdaisy101 · May 2009

They are going up so that is the good news...Some women double every 2-3 days.
