What To Expect with Beta

in Third-Party Reproduction

Ok I know you ladies are the information super highway for reproduction.  My first beta is tomorrow and another on Friday.  Since I am  in GA and my RE is in FL he just wrote the order and told me to have a lab here do it.  The lab said it will have the first Beta result (and estrogen /progeesterone checked) on friday and the rsult from Fridays would be in on tues.  They wont tell me the numbers I haave to call my RE to get them.  Anyone know what to expect with Beta.  What is a good range?  Are theey expected to be double for the second test?  I just like to know what I should be expecting? Oh and luck wont hurt. Smile

(Thanks to Liz for paws for her little tip)  I will be honest I have taken more HPT then I needed to lol.  The line is lighter than I would like but even the digital one said pregnant  lol. Yeah at this point I just want to make sure it is still there.  It has become part of my morning routine.  11dp3dt

    Really sucks that you have to wait for Friday to get results from Wednesday labs!!  Don't worry, I have also been POAS and will continue to do so until I run out of tests.  My Beta was 166 on Monday morning and line was very light on that day.&n

    I agree, waiting sucks. Did you order those amazon cheapies? Just wondering if that's the tip you mean! :)

    As for betas, you shouldn't get too caught up in the first number. It's more important to understand the doubling time. And sometimes they

    Do you have any other lab that you can choose? Or a local RE that will do it? My RE and the lab (Quest Diagnostics) both get the results the same day, usually within 3 hours. I am in a different time zone than FIRM so I have to have it done early so th

    It's more about the second beta and how your doubling time is. There is such a wide range of "normal"...it's ridiculous. I work in a lab and I believe 25-4000 is our range for 4 weeks pregnant. It really depends on the person. So, try not to focus on your
