Hello ladies... lurker from IF here. Just got my first beta back and it's 1382! I'm hoping to officially join this board very soon, but I'm still a bit nervous to jump in until I have a few more betas under my belt
Anyway, if you had a very high first beta (mine was at 12dp5dt, or essentially 17dpo, for context) how many babies are you pregnant with? We transferred two blasts and that high number is making me think they both stuck! I realize the high number is not enough to know one way or the other, but I'm just looking for some anecdotes. Thanks ladies--hope to get to know you all soon!
Re: Please come in if you had a high 1st Beta...
Earlier m/c. DX (finally) 10/10: abnormal acrosome.
ICSI #1 3dt 11/20/11 HPT BFP 11/30 Our beautiful daughters were born July 28, 2012.
My twins beta was 1001 at 13dp3dt... so 16dpo. My singleton beta was 311 as 9dp5dt so 14dpo. As you said, there is no way to tell until your first u/s!
Either one or two, it sounds like you got a nice healthy pregnancy going on. Congratualations!
4 Fresh IVF cycles + 1 FET where embies didn't survive the thaw = 2 perfect little men!
sFET 11/9/11 - Beta 11/18 BFP!
Sounds like a great number!
My betas were pretty early, I had POAS and they let me get in before christmas
At 9dp3dt (12dpo) it was at 127 and at 12dp3dt (15dpo) it was 418. They never really told me they were high or low, just said that the numbers were good. At my u/s at 6w4d, I found out that two had stuck!
Best of luck to you
~after 34 cycles we finally got our 2nd little bundle of joy~
