XP: Beta #3...went up more than 66% in 48 hours but still low

Beta #3...went up more than 66% in 48 hours but still lowSo I just got the results of my 3rd beta and it was 117. I started at 31 on 12DPO, then went up to 67 on 15DPO, and finally 117 on 17DPO. I am going in again for another test on Saturday morning. I asked to wait 3 days, cause it seems I am doubling about every 60 hours. I don't know why I am still worried. I have had so many Dr's give me bad news over the last few years, I am just anticipating the worst :(

  • Stay positive!  Everything I've read says if the numbers are increasing, you're good to go.  Also, some women just don't produce a huge amount of HCG.  Sticky baby dust to you!

  • Try to stay positive.  I know it's hard.  My beta was only 27 at 11DPO and then 85 at 15DPO.  My doubling time was 55hrs then and at 18DPO it was 276 so still my doubling time was 44hrs.  My RE was happy with those numbers even though compared to a lot of peoples they seem so low to me.  But I just have to trust in him that they are enough and that they are still rising.  Hopefully next week's u/s will take all my fears away.  Hang in there!
