Yesterday at 4 weeks based off LMP I had 40 hcg and 19 prog, goin back tomorrow to check if its doubling! I got my first positive Sunday on a frer (negative on friday) so I can assume it's at a decent pace? My drs office seemed happy with it when they called. From what I've seen in forums that's not a great number but for a couple of days I think that's fine so far lol. Edit: oh and tomorrow would have been my period
Had my first beta at 4w and it was 76 Second beta at 4w2d and it was 206. So showing great progress so far. Next beta and first ultrasound scheduled for 3/11. My nurse has said that my progesterone levels were good so continuing with the shots (this pregnancy is the result of my first IVF cycle).
Yesterday at 4w4d my hcg was 50. I’m traveling for work now so won’t be able to test again until Friday (sooooo annoying). I don’t think I ovulated until the 20th, maybe 19th, so I think I’m actually not as far along as the LMP would assume. The doc didn’t seem concerned with the number, just hoping for a big jump on Friday since it’ll be a 4+ day difference.
My 1st beta after FET was at 4w and was 364.4 and my 2nd beta was at 4w4d and was 2322. Now I’m just awaiting my first ultrasound on 3/25. Trying to wait patiently but it’s not easy!
@rachelredhead yeah the only reason I’m using my LMP is because I ovulated on CD 15 at the latest. Everything I’ve read says they don’t count from ovulation because you can’t be 100% sure when conception occurred, but it seems like it’d be more accurate for people with later ovulation even if it’s still off a day or two.
@justaplainbagel if your doctors office is happy then it’s a good number regardless of what you see others having everyone’s different
My first was 476 at 4w and my second was 1035 at 4w2d. Don’t have any others scheduled. They didn’t check my progesterone levels, was that something they should have checked? My US will be 3/25.
@kopp5988 I dont think they normally do check progesterone. I was checked for it because of recurrent losses and they needed to see if I needed to take a progesterone script.
I just want to say that even though I KNOW the initial number is pretty worthless, I’ve had a lot of anxiety about my 50 hcg and waiting to retest on Friday is agony. But it helps so much to see ladies with similar numbers having such great doubling results on their second test.
Adding on because my results came back for my 5w3d and it was 3120.
I was worried about my progesterone because the first blood test was 10.9, the second was 9. The doctor wasn’t worried but I’ve heard about people miscarrying when they had low progesterone. She said she’d give me progesterone supplements because they can’t hurt. She said it may not benefit but it could benefit. My third blood test came back before any supplements were taken and it went up 11.2. I started taking the supplements and go back today for a blood test and ultrasound. My doctor is very precautious... I’ve had 3 ultrasounds already and have literally seen everything to this point progress. First time no GS, second time only GS and third time GS and YS. Today we are expecting to see a Fetal Pole. 🙏🏼
Omg yall. I got my results back from second beta and it more than doubled and they are happy with the progress. Just made my first prenatal appointment! As someone who has had 3 prior losses I am ecstatic and things are going well so far! I feel like I can relax a little now lol
@justaplainbagel so exciting! Congratulations! I have my second beta tomorrow morning and I’m excited and anxious. I did get a darker line today when I did another test. Hoping a second beta will help me stop the hpt madness. 😂
@tjm527 they wanted me 3/28 or later so I'm going that day. By that time I'll be around 7+3 but I have a feeling I'll be dated a little earlier than that.
The nurse didn’t seem to be too concerned about the pace of increase. It’s a little slower but she said for reassurance I could test again Monday/Tues. I’m trying not to worry about it too much since she didn’t seem particularly concerned and I’m not having any worrisome MC symptoms. Just wish that second number was higher.
Had my 3rd beta and first U/S today at 5w4d. HCG was 9280 and we saw a gestational sac and yolk! Baby to be looking strong 😁 next U/S on 3/20 when we should see a heartbeat 🤞
Had draws last week...4wk4d 365 & 4wk6d 991...the dr said great rise so that’s encouraging but anxious anyways since my last mc ended 6wk5d, just have to get through this week and next. First US scheduled 3/22, ugh seems like forever
I feel like my doctor likes to see me so much- or just because I have good insurance and unlimited ultrasounds... on Thursday last week we saw the fetal pole and the heart beating. The doctor said it seems the heart just formed (aww) my HCG went up to 11116 and my progesterone went up to 19.6. I have another appointment today to hear the heartbeat. I love watching this baby grow.
ETA: my beta numbers from last week were 5w6d with a heart rate of 99.
Hi ladies, I was so worried after the first beta even though I knew the first number wasn't that important, but so glad they are more than doubling! Also, I am on progesterone suppositories as I had an iui done. mine were:
Ladies!! I’m kinda feeling sad but hopeful. I went to the ER Wednesday morning due to some very light bleeding after BM. They took blood and tested my levels (first time they tested) and it was 23K. We got to see the little bean and saw the GS and YS and we measured about 5w. I repeated the test Friday and just for my results...levels are now 21k. Doc said level is not where she expects and the nurse will be calling me tomorrow.
The bleeding has stopped and I’m trying to not get into my own head. Hoping for good news or plans to keep monitoring a little closer. Next appointment is currently set for 4/5...now to just get to that appointment...
