Pregnant after 35

Second Beta Number Looks Good!!

Hi ladies,

I had my second beta today and it was 278.1 (the first was 93)!!!   I am over the moon with excitement! I can't believe this is really happening...

I had my progesterone checked as well and it was 39.04; based on what I read online this # is high for only being 4 weeks preggo.  What thoughts do you have on this?

I've got the ball rolling to get my first OB appt. scheduled and plan to do another Beta on Thursday.  I'm praying for another big number.

Thank you for your ongoing support and words of encouragement :)

Re: Second Beta Number Looks Good!!

  • Very nice beta numbers! Congrats! I can't speak as to your progesterone #. I know too low is bad, but is there such a thing as too high? I don't know.  Definitely ask your doctor about it.

  • Yay, Congrats!! I wouldn't worry about the progesterone #. It really does vary a great deal and there's not really any such thing as being too high. I've had #'s as high as 40 and I've seen them much higher.
