Anyone else doing betas?

I did a beta at 17 dpo (monday) and the result was 355.  I'm feeling pretty good about that number! I'm going back tomorrow (wednesday) to make sure the number is doubling.  With my twins the numbers were 177 @ 13 dpo and 385 @ 15 dpo.

Anyone else doing blood tests?  My doctor wouldn't do it for me so I went to an AnyLabTestNow to get it done 
:D

Re: Anyone else doing betas?

  • I'm seeing an RE so I did them:

    11 DPO (8/20) - 21.6
    13 DPO (8/22) - 51.4
    16 DPO (8/25) - 286.7

    I was a bit worried at first (but I know it was early), but doc is happy and says my levels are rising nicely. Have a sono schedule for 6w 5d!

  • My doctor didn't suggest it. I had blood work at my initial appointment and will have it drawn again at my follow up next Friday.

  • My blood draw at 11 dpo was 23. 13 dpo was 85. Dr was happy with that. First appt is sept 9.
  • Debbie Downer here. I did and while the first number was fine I've been bleeding heavily. I went to get the progesterone and just stuck myself in the butt but I'm not looking forward to tomorrow. We shall see.
  • I'm seeing an re so I am doing betas. My first beta was on Monday and it was 1651 which was 16 days post iui. My second one is tomorrow so I'm hoping they continue to rise.

    Best of luck to everyone :)
  • I have my first beta tomorrow.  I'm trying to remember if way back when I did IVF with the same RE if he even did a follow-up.  I remember him doing an ultrasound right at 6w but not having a second beta.  I used to be the type who wanted all that information and now I know it's just one more thing for me to obsess over and ultimately those numbers don't really mean a whole lot.  I prefer many, many ultrasounds.

    @BostonGayGal - I'm very sorry that you are having a rough time.  Bleeding is always scary and PIO shots are just no fun.  I hope your bleeding turns out to be no big deal.

    Kelly, Mom to Christopher Shannon 9.27.06, Catherine Quinn 2.24.09, Trey Barton lost on 12.28.09, Therese Barton lost on 6.10.10, Joseph Sullivan 7.23.11, and our latest, Victoria Maren 11.15.12

    Secondary infertility success with IVF, then two losses, one at 14 weeks and one at 10 weeks, then success with IUI and then just pure, crazy luck.  Expecting our fifth in May as the result of a FET.

  • I had betas since me last pregnancy ended in miscarriage. My 14dpo number yesterday was 219. I am happy with that but more anxious about tomorrow's doubling.

    I have since I had an ectopic pregnancy last time. I didn't ask my numbers but dr called today and said that he was pleased with them going up so I go back Thursday and Tuesday. Fingers crossed I hate getting those voicemails and calling back waiting to hear what they say.
  • I go in tomorrow - due to 2 previous losses.

    I try not to sweat it....but it's hard.

    Fingers crossed for @BostonGayGal

  • @BostonGayGal FX and T&Ps for you. 

    I had betas done yesterday at what I think was 18 dpo.The nurse called me today when I was shopping at Target, so I didn't catch it completely, but I think she said 1777 or 1707. She said that was good, and they will call me to schedule a second set.
