Pregnant after a Loss

How many betas did you have?

We got our BFP last week (still can't officially add it to my ticker yet) after 2 losses in 2011.  

First beta was 97 and 2nd was 303 (72 hours later), which they said was good.   She said if I wanted to keep checking the betas, we could but that it was up to me.  I am scheduled for my first u/s at 7 weeks.

Wondering what the rest of you have experienced?  TIA!

Re: How many betas did you have?

  • Congrats!

    On my first pregnancy, I was checked twice, 48 hours apart.  With my second pregnancy, I did 5, all 48 hours apart, but that was because the rise from my first to second was sluggish (25 to 38).  This time, I went from 65 to 193 in 48 hours and my RE was happy with that.

  • I just got my betas today.First one was 900 second one 4 days later was 4,836. The nurse said this is good, but I'm honestly clueless about betas. I tried googling, but that was a bad idea. Can you ladies shed some light??

  • With my first pregnancy they were checked several times because they were rising but not doubling.  This pregnancy they were only checked twice because they doubled in 26 hours.

  • This time I had 3, that is what my RE does even when the numbers are looking good.  With my m/c I had 5 blood tests because of all of the problems early on.

    This time I had 4. I had two drawn 48 hours apart, one more a week later, and an extra around 6 weeks due to some spotting (I got my progesterone rechecked then as well)

    Congrats to both my TTC buddies, Amberley18 and sb2006 on their beautiful babies!
  • I had two drawn almost exactly 48 hrs apart and since they were doubling fine we didn't check anymore. I just went in a few wks later for u/s. Generally, if you are doubling within 48-72 hrs there isnt cause for alarm. Here is a good tool to check your doubling time :https://www.betabase.info/doublingCalc.php

    Good luck :)

  • I had it done lots of times with my loss, but none for this baby.

  • My RE did 4. They all looked good, but the first two were very early (like 11 dpo and 13 dpo) which may be why he wanted to do a few more. He wanted the numbers to be above 2000 before he scheduled the first ultrasound. Good luck!
