I'm 5w4d and I just got back my 3rd beta result. 9/26-58, 9/28-130 and today (10/8) 12,055. I cant wait for my ultrasound next week! I hope we get to see something good.
My husband and I have been TTC to conceive for 2.5 years, and were blessed to have our first ever positive BFP naturally on 1 Oct, only a week prior to our IUI consult (Doc razzed us a little about getting prego on our own). Because I was a patient of the Fertility clinic, they had me come in for a blood draw at 20dpo (6 Oct). After the first drawn they were positive I had miscalculated my LMP or ovulation date (which of course I hadn't) because of how high my HCG levels were. Had a U/S 21dpo (7 Oct) where they saw the sac and estimated about 5weeks. Second blood draw at 22dpo (8 Oct) had a good increase in HCG (doubling every 75hrs), but a drop in progesterone. I'm now on progesterone supplements 100mg 2x daily, but I'm still nervous even though I've had zero spotting, and I usually spot like a mofo before AF.
Anyone w/experience with high HCG and/or low progesterone? Doc has mentioned multiples and possible molar pregnancy, but he didn't see anything in U/S that was indicative of either. Next U/S at 7weeks.
4w4d: HCG: 8490, Progesterone: 13.6
4w6d: HCG: 13,185, Progesterone: 10.9 Now on progesterone supplements
After 2 miscarriages I'm on 200mg of progesterone and have done 2 betas: 4w4d: 2573 and 5w4d: 31364. Doubling time 46.5 hrs. Is this too fast? I have an ultrasound Tuesday and while I thought my numbers were good now i'm nervous.
My 6 week beta was 14,700. I've been spotting a bit, so I had my levels checked yesterday and will see if they double tomorrow. I am going to request an ultrasound at my first appointment, 8.5 weeks. I guess I should mention that my husband, a physician, ordered my betas for me, so I could do them at his office and wouldn't have to bother with running in to the OB. If they don't double though, I will call the OB to tell him what's going on.
