HCG Levels!

I got my first set of HCG levels done 8/25 (11dpo) and they were at 64.  I went on 8/28 for my 2nd set (14dpo) and also progesterone and they were 431!!  My progesterone was 16!  

I go back tomorrow for one last round to make sure my progesterone is rising but...  I'm growing a baby, you guys!!!!  

I cannot wait until Sept. 25th to see my little blobster!!!!  

Re: HCG Levels!

  • Congratulations!!
  • Loading the player...
  • That's great!  They are rising!  CONGRATS! =)

    My first was 90 (9dp5dt)
    My second was 180 (11dp5dt)
    My third was 404 (13dp5dt)
    My fourth was today at 1485 (16dp5dt)
  • Thanks ladies!  I'm so excited!


    @Daizee32 .... what does it mean when you say "16dp5dt" ?  I'm sorta new at all of this! 
  • Those levels sound amazing! Congrats! I was at 45 Friday and I go back tomorrow for another draw.

    I'm also wondering what the #dp5dt means.
  • The #dp5dt is IVF lingo... I've been trying to find info about it on the Internet too!

    It has to do with "days past transfer", etc. Haven't found out much more...

    :D  This is all so exciting for everyone.  :)  My hcg at 16dpo was 644 and my progesterone was 26.  This was last Thursday when I got my positive.  I just went yesterday for a second round of labs - I'm so curious what they are now.

  • #dp5dt = 3 days post 5 day transfer.

    5 day transfer refers to how many days the embryo progressed before it was transferred.

  • My hcg level at 11dpo was 44 and my progesterone was 11.8. They gave me some progesterone supplements, but didn't say anything about the beta level. This seems SO low compared to everyone else's numbers. But, I guess it's within normal?

    A single Beta doesn't tell you much in isolation.  But a series of betas will provide you with a doubling rate and that's the important part. 

    Normal beta count varies greatly, in a viable pregnancy they should double within 48-72 hours.

    This is a good site for beta count info.  https://www.betabase.info/

    I used the beta calculator there several times.

  • My Dr annoyingly won't do another hcg quant. Since the first "looks fine" she says it is unwarranted. Ah, well, guess I'll just have to wait until the first u/s

  • My hcg at was at 18(possibly only 16)dpo. It can vary greatly but they are looking to see if it's doubling every 48-72hrs. It's not going to be the same for everyone.
  • I just got my second labs back - above I posted my 16dpo hcg was 644 and prg was 26.  Yesterday, which was 20 dpo, they were 3486 and 40.31.  My dr said they were progressing very nicely and I made my 8 week ultrasound.  Here's to hoping the next few weeks are smooth sailing!

  • My first beta yeasterday was 194 at 17dpo (estimated dpo. I had stopped temping so I'm not sure) and progesterone was 11. I was put on progesterone supplements. My next beta draw is tomorrow and next progesterone draw is Friday. I hope everything keeps going up. Doing the supplements vaginally is no fun but I will deal with it if I have to keep doing it..
