@ella26 No, not yet. Unfortunately I am all too used to this waiting. Game. I should get results tomorrow afternoon and if they are doubling normally then ultrasound next week. If not, then another draw on Monday, Ugh, hate hate hate this limbo.
So far mine have been 234 at 13dpo and 770 at 15dpo. Just got another round today (17dpo) so we'll see.
That 770 is way higher than the max on any chart of averages per dpo I've seen, so I'm really hoping it's not twins! I had two mature follicles and used Ovidrel, but I hadn't gotten pregnant from the previous 6 IUIs with multiple follicles, so they thought my risk of twins would be pretty slim.
I lost my last baby at 20 weeks due to preterm labor, which happens way more often with multiples. Hopefully it's just one big healthy baby!

So my first beta was 347 @14dpo and 72 hours later it quadroupled. My doctor has ruled out ectopic and ive decided with my therapist that early scans cause tooooo much anxiety for me so I'm opting out of early scans and just going to the 8 week viability scan. The next 3.5 weeks better fly by! @Jlr025 congrats on doubling betas!
Just got my results. hCG went from 552 to 1310 so more than doubled. Progesterone is holding steady. I am happy with these results and Dr thinks I should just come in at 8 weeks so that is the plan.
My beta yesterday was 20. They tested again today and it nearly doubled to 35. Progesterone is still holding steady at 13, so starting progesterone tonight.
Had a draw Monday at 14dpo and my levels were 814....I keep hearing that high and im praying for twins after 3 straight losses but I'm not greedy I'll be happy with just a healthy sticky bean. Ultrasound in 5 days!
I had a scheduled RE appointment (for abnormally long cycles) at ~7dpo when I found out I was pregnant.
7 dpo: hCG 12 9 dpo: hCG 52 11 dpo: hCG 148
I go in for more hCG and progesterone tests on 18 dpo. My RE wanted me to do an ultrasound then too, but I recently read an article about unnecessary scans and I told them I would wait until 8-10 wks. They were not happy, but I am sticking with I'm comfortable with.

Do what makes you comfortable (within reason, obviously). And if it makes you feel any more at ease with your decision, the standard of care where I live is no ultrasound until 8 weeks, unless there are concerns.
@silverhope I had an early US every week from 5-8 weeks because of history and it actually caused me so much unneeded anxiety. I'm also holding tight until 8 weeks. I hope it's a smooth sail until then.
@millette2015 thank you, that is readsuring. I'm going to call an obgyn on Monday to schedule a later scan and see where in the 8 or so wk range he suggests.
@justsuzie I am already such a stressball, so I would be the same with the extra scans. Agreed on the hopeful smooth sailing ahead! And hopefully less anxiety with each passing day

I feeel like if there's no risk for ectopic (which was the vas on my end) then an early scan only causes us crazies to worry more. So when I had an early scan and didn't see a fetal pole I worried up until the next scan. And the. We did see a pole but not the hb yet, so I worried up until the next scan. You can't change anything that is or isn't happening. You just have to let go of control and believe your body is doing what it should. (Easier said than done, I know)
I had some dark red blood and cramping yesterday, so I was terrified and expecting the worst today. I'm getting an early ultrasound (~5.5 weeks) next week to make sure things are OK with the bleeding.
I guess I go here now. I had my first draw this afternoon, so I'll probably get my numbers tomorrow. Then another draw on Wednesday to see if the numbers have doubled. ETA I've been having bleeding and cramping since Thursday. I first thought it was implantation bleeding (I had that with my first), but it's lasted more than just a couple days and hasn't lightened up. I still have positive tests, and darker lines, but my OB just wants to play it safe.
Re: Betas
just had second round today. Trying to stay hopeful. I have brown spotting which always worries me.

I go in for my second draw around 1 today and should get my numbers between 3-4 I am very nervous.
Good luck with yours!
@Jlr025 congrats on doubling betas!
