Help with beta #3

MrsFeatherbottomMrsFeatherbottom member
in Pregnant after IF

 Hi all. I'll do a more formal introduction once I calm down a little bit :) Here are my three betas.

10dp5dt 572

12dp5dt 1373

14dp5dt 2237

So the third beta is only a 63% increase with a doubling time of 68 hours. The nurse said that they like to see a 70% increase in betas, but that I wasn't too far off and we should go ahead and schedule the u/s. I realize that beta doubling slows down the higher you get, but I'm not that far along and I thought they slowed down more toward 5000. 

Any personal experience or advice? TIA!

    I'm no expert, but those look pretty great to me!  Also, my betas never doubled perfectly and we've got a healthy and active little girl kicking me right in the belly as I type this.  Congratulations!

    My betas are all in my siggy. I've had very low betas that have only been doubling about once a week, which has been scary but I'm 8w6d now and everything is still looking great on my weekly ultrasounds. I wouldn't worry too much. Good luck!

    They want to see your betas double in 48-72 hours, so you're still in that range!  Congrats!

    Has anyone had a beta doubling time so close to 72 hours? I know it doesn't have to be a perfect 48 hours, and I would have been thrilled with 55, but this just feels like it's too long. The u/s cannot come soon enough!

    My RE doesn't even do a 3rd beta - for exactly this reason.    As long as the first two double - then it is just a waiting game for the ultrasound.    I've always seen numbers start to slow after 1,000.    Your first two betas MORE than doubled and looked awesome, so I would really try not to worry.    I know that is impossible, but don't read too much into it.   You're in great shape heading into your ultrasound.    Hang in there!
