Pregnant after IF

What do you think re: Beta #2

It almost doubled, but not quite.  

9dp5dt was 328

11dp5dt was 650

They offered me another beta on Friday if I want one.  Would you?  Should I worry that they didn't quite double? 

dx'd with severe endo and poor egg quality 3 IUIs were all BFN IVF #1 = c/p IVF #2 = BFN IVF #3 = beautiful baby girl born 2/2011; 8/2011 Surprise BFP - natural m/c at 8w; TTC #2 2011-2012; 2 IUIs = BFN; IVF #1 = BFP 9dp5dt beta = 328; 11dp5dt = 650; 13dp5dt = 1114; 18dp5dt = 4747 BabyFetus Ticker

  • If you check my siggie, you will see that my second did not quite double, too. My RE rather insisted I do a third one. It all worked out fine... I hope yours does too!

  • If it's going to ease your mind I'd definitely do it.  I think it's looking good though!
  • My first and second Beta's didn't quite double either with this pregnancy and I'm pregnant with twins.   I think your numbers look great.

  • Ditto what everyone else said - looks good but I'd probably do it for peace of mind.

  • Technically they're looking for at least a 67% increase in 48 hours, and you're well within that...peace of mind, if you want it, but I don't think it's necessary.

  • I think it's fine but I would always opt for more betas for my own sanity.
