First beta levels...thoughts?

SeptmomtobeSeptmomtobe member
in Pregnant after a Loss

I had my betas done yesterday at 5w4d and just got a call from the nurse with the results. The beta was 99 which she said is a little low so they want to see if it will double.

 This cycle I think I ovulated around cd 20-2th 

Background: my last betas after my last bfp were 54 at 5w3d and I had a m/c the following day.

    It's hard to say about levels from person to person.  The important thing is doubling time.  Try to stay positive.

    How many DPO are you?  Mine were low, but doubling in less than 48 hours and so far so good.  I think at 15 DPO, they were 64 or something like that.

    Thanks everyone!

     I do think I ovulated late so perhaps that is effecting my numbers. I go back for blood work tomorrow morning so we will see.

    To add-I'm probably about 18-19 dpo but I'm not entirely sure when I ovulated. I didn't temp. I got a positive opk on cd 20 so I am assuming I ovulated on cd 21 or 22. Today is cd 40 which would make me 18-19 dpo I think.

    When did you get your BFP?  Which test did you use?  I used an equate test that I think was super sensitive and got a + on 11DPO.  It may have even been 9DPO if I didn't get my O date right (I think I was getting +OPKs, but not O'ing until a full 48 hours later).  So, it's possible that both of our betas weren't low for where we were and we were just testing earlier than we thought.  I hope this is it for you!  GL!
