  • Once your levels get to the 5000 range they stop doubling. Once my levels hit the 6000 range they stopped doing beta draws, plus it was my third one.

  • Mine didn't double as quickly as others in the beginning.  I haven't been checked since then but I know they start to slow down at some point.  I wouldn't worry too much if she isn't worried.

  • It sucks, but obsessing over beta numbers (or any numbers for that matter) doesn't help the situation.  You need to stay relaxed and wait to see what happens, which I know is like torture.  The truth is, we're all worried.  The worrying begins with the BFP and doesn't end until you see your baby.  Then you have to prepare for a whole new set of worries!  Blah!  Hang in there, and stay positive.  Good luck!

  • My numbers didn't double early in my pregnancy with DD and it all turned out well.  In fact, at 5.5 weeks my numbers were really low, 29 and 56.

  • Yes, this happened to me. My first beta was 12,000 (5w1d) and my second was 18,000(5w3d) and they were concerned that the numbers were not doubling. What I have read is that once you get over a certain number they aren't expected to double anymore. Good luck and keep us posted.
