Beta #2...

Pnut30 · April 2012

Beta#2 @ 22dp5dt: 5430

That is up from 1017 @ 15dp5dt.... I put it in betabase and it is doubling time of 69.52 hours..Im trying not to over think/analyze but is that a good increase?

Thanks!

I think I've posted this before, but I am so glad my RE never gave numbers. He told me I was pg. and said he'd confirm one week later with an u/s. I feel bad for every single one of you girls who post these posts and are so worried. It has to be crazy maddening!

Yes, a bit maddening! Oh and my Dr. puts it on a website you can check in at called mychart so I sit here refreshing and refreshing the screen until it pops up.... I literally just had my blood drawn at 8:30!

Nevermind about my worry... I just found this info... "Normal" Doubling Time
hCG levels	Doubling Time
Under 1200 mIU/ml	31-72 hours
Between 1200 to 6000 mIU/ml	72-96 hours
Over 6000 mIU/ml	more than 96 hours

I was nervous because I always hear it should double every 48-72 hours so 69 would be on the high side but since my first beta was over 1000 it looks like I am good....

I am just nervous because I am really not having any symptoms at all. I know I should consider myself lucky but at the same time it really makes me question whether this is even real! My u/s isn't until next Tuesday.

Congrats! Try not to worry! It's still in normal range and once it's over a certain point, doubling times slow down.

Looks good to me! Trying not to over analyze it is hard, but you doubled in a good time frame. There are ladies who double outside the norm and still have very successful pregnancies! Also, keep in mind, the higher the beta # the weired the doubling gets. My RE didn't do a 3rd on me because it would have been over 1000 and he throws those out and waits on a u/s because he doesn't think they tell him anything reliable - of course the u/s feels like it is years away from today Stick out tongue

Hang in there - you are pg today!!

The doubling time starts to increase once you get into the thousands. You're doing great.

It sounds great honestly. Try not to make yourself nuts, I had no symptoms for a long time and things are just fine. Congrats hon!

Thank you all so much for the kind words! I guess I would feel better if I threw up or something! Smile
