Success after IF
BFP!!! Now I have ?'s about HCG levels??
We finally got our BFP on March 9th!! We found out 2 days before AF was due. HCG was 25, then went to 44, then went to 74 at four weeks. I am now five weeks and having it checked again on Monday, shouldn't my HCG be a little higher by now?? My doctor says as long as it keeps going up its okay...but I don't see how I'm going to make it to over 1000 by six weeks at this rate????

Re: BFP!!! Now I have ?'s about HCG levels??
Congrats! I just got my BFP this week and asked questions here about HCG levels. The women here are fantastic and are super supportive and will be able to answer your question.
Have you checked out this site yet https://www.betabase.info/. There is a doubling calculator and shows median beta's. I found it helpful.
My nurse said try not to read too much into the numbers. It's more important that they go up and start to double.
Congrats again! If you are like me, this still doesn't feel real!
ETA: I found it very, very hard not to read too much into the numbers so I can relate!!!
Congratulations!
Betas double every 48-72 hours so it sounds like you are having decent rises. My first beta was 32.5 at 3.5 weeks. That was the only beta I had. I had an ultrasound at 7wk5d, then was released to OB.
