Betabase is not my friend

Ok, I made the mistake of going on betabase.info...and my beta doubling time (63 hours) is well below the norm it seems. My third beta was today and I'm freaking out waiting for the call...I feel like it won't be good news. Could use some calming words and beta vibes!

    mine was like 50 something then my 3rd was 36 .. hang in there! beta base killed me too. but when my RN called she said they don't even go by that, they just want to see a 75% increase in 48hrs. GOOD LUCK!

    If you take a look at all those stats, you will see that the low/high numbers for both hcg and doubling time are very extreme, but all of the pregnancies recorded are from babies with recorded heartbeats. Just because it's outside the norm, doesn't mean anything's wrong. Betas do all kinds of funny things and can still result in beautiful babies. Just try to focus on the fact that it did increase and you're still in the game and hang in there for that third beta! GL!

    Lurker chiming in here because I feel your pain - betabase was not my friend either a few weeks back.  The doubling time between my first and second betas was 79.96.  The doctor's office assured me this was fine, but the more I looked at betabase the more I freaked out.   After two painful days, my third beta came back with a doubling time of 38.88.  I am now 10 weeks pregnant with twins.  Hang in there!

    Fingers crossed, dear! Everything I've read says that you want it to double in 48-72 hours. Good luck!
