I’m 14 days post 5 day blastocyst transfer and Was hoping to get some insight on my own beta levels. First was 355, then 800 2 days later (41 hour doubling time, then 1591 2 days later (48 hour doubling time). I know 48 hours is textbook perfect but I’m freaked out bc it’s a 7 hour increase from my prior doubling time, but I also read it slows as your hcg gets higher??
Re: Beta hcg level now rising more slowly
For the record, the beta from my successful FET was around 200s at 8dpt, 500s 10dpt, and then into the 2ks and 5k+. I also freaked out a bit at the beginning since it didn't double as fast as my first BFP (but that was a m/c in the end) so as long as you are within the appropriate interval for doubling, the speed of doubling or the actual numbers don't matter as much.
