I found out I was pregnant on Monday. I called the dr. to schedule an appt - I won't go in until I'm 8 weeks, so I'm not getting any beta tests done. I've seen a lot of people on here posting their beta #s. Sorry if this is a dumb question, but can anyone explain to me what they are and why they are needed? If it's super important, I'll call my dr. back and request the test. Thanks!!
Re: Question on Betas
Ok, now I understand! Thanks!
For both pregnancies I just called and requested them to confirm the actual pregnancy and to see if it is progressing. No prior issues, I am just super curious and wanted to know. I also test super early, so both my levels for DS and this pregnancy were below 50 the first draw, and then in the high 200s 48 hours later. It is just a nice feeling to hear that you are doubling in a normal amount of time and to put my paranoid mind at ease for the first week.
