Beta Question (xp from Secondary IF)

ddub09 · April 2012

After 4 IUIs I finally got a BFP yesterday on a digital test (12 dpiui). Today I went in for a beta and the nurse just called and the level was 46 at 13 dpiui. I'm a little nervous that this is low. The lines on my FRER seem to be getting darker, but I'm a nervous wreck because I thought the digital tests measured a level of 50 and I just want to make sure my levels aren't declining.

I don't have much to say, except that my first beta was a 49, and 2 days later they doubled to 108.

Are you sure your test only detects 50? That seems high to me.

That sounds like a great beta for how many dpo you are.

mine was around 40 at 12 dpo with twins. And FWIW, I've seen a positive on a FRER with a beta of 8 and those say it detects at 25 or higher. So I wouldn't be too worried about that part! Best of luck to you!

Thanks! I think that the digital might be a bit lower than I realized. I always think I'm going to remain calm when I find out my numbers, but I can never relax!
