Hcg levels?

Re: Hcg levels?

  • @comealongponds Apparently, someone beat us to it. I've not actually seen this in use yet, but it looks pretty cool. I knew there was growth in the point of care blood testing for EDs but I didn't know until now there was a beta hCG available...

    I have been seeing an RE for a year, so they have been doing all the BW at the moment.
    @laurenlalap I think doubling HCG is great ! Do not get scared at this point, they also wanted me to go back for the fourth beta.
    My HCG levels are; 11dpo:48 ; 13dpo:132 ; 16dpo:690
    I was very nervous until I got the call but I think it is going well, doubling time is around 30 hours. The nurse said that the levels were very good but  they want me to go in on Sunday again to repeat the test. Are they being super cautious or do they still have to track HCG levels ? It just makes me paranoid.
    I agree @KilgraveMadeMeDoIt , i wished that there was a device that we could test HCG levels ourselves. I would poke my self twice a day.
    My fertility center tracks them until above 1,000 and first "good" ultrasound. I think it's normal. 
  • Thank you very much, it is good to know that it is a regular procedure. The nurses do not give much info on the phone and I did not want to email the Dr for this.
  • I had my beta done Monday 22dpo and it was 2641. Had an ultrasound today which showed a gestational sac and a yolk sac. No fetal pole yet but they said it was fine because it's still so early (5w3d) .  Why do I still feel so anxious?!? These days go by so slowly! Next US is not for 20 more days!  
  • My RE checked my levels twice.
    14dpiui - 137
    16dpiui - 416
    Since they were fine and doubled nicely, they didn't order any more lab work. My ultrasound is Monday. Fortunately they do all the labs in-house and I get results within a few hours. In fact, I had to get one draw on a Sunday, and my doctor opened up the office and did my blood draw himself. He's awesome!

  • @laurenlalap congrats! When is your first u/s scheduled? 

    I do have to say, in case any women come on here wondering whether their betas are normal or not, 10dpo is very early for any determination at all. There's no need to worry.

    Your numbers are almost exactly in line with mine. I'm surprised they were worried at all when they were doubling. 

    Mine:
    12dpo:95 

    14dpo:308 :) 

    I won't be having another beta.

  • I had a third beta done at 16 Dpo and it went up from 120 at 14dpo to 380 at 16dpo. I am going to ask for one more on Wednesday which would be 5 weeks pregnant or 21 dpo I just can't relax at all even though my numbers are looking really good. I don't get a scan until 7 weeks :( 
  • I got my three!
    15 dpo: 228
    17 dpo: 595
    19 dpo: 1874!

    I'm so excited. Still in fricken' denial that it's sticky so far. Would anyone think I should go for a 4th beta, or just content myself? I'm 21 dpo today, so could get another on monday (22 dpo) or anytime next week.
  • I was questioning my nurse on the same thing. My numbers rose kinda quickly, she told me just to look at the numbers as a strong pregnancy since they were in the normal range just on the highes side. When I went for first u/s last week (5w3d HCG level was 7,496) they dr checked and only one yolk and sac. 
  • Just got my second beta!
    15 DPO was 833
    17 DPO was 1699

    super excited to see the doubling! I think I'll go once more on Saturday but then maybe just try and relax until my US on the 7th :)


  • Sorry these are late entries. My 14 dpo was 284 and 16 dpo was 724. I found out a last week that I am expecting twins.

  • @aharvey1982 Congrats!! That's super exciting news. Double the trouble, double the fun :smile: 

    @laurenlalap you could quite possibly be right. Check out betabase.info they give you an idea of what other people have reported as their hcgs with twins and singletons. I've been curious about the same thing, but I'll be happy with as many as we are blessed with.

    I was 361 at 13dpo and 1935 at 17dpo. I would be shocked if it were twins, those rates are still within "normal" range and that's only a 39.2 hour doubling time. Nothing staggering. First appt isn't until April 1st. I'm just praying for a healthfully progressing dinosaur blob and a HB. 

    Edit: ooops, not 14dpo, 13dpo! #pregnancybrain.

  • Hi, I have let intro'ed yet because I don't want to get too attached to this group (PGAL sucks!), but I wanted to pass on this website I found. It may help some of you calculate doubling times.

  • @kygirlie113 thanks! hope to see your intro soon :-) good luck!
  • @MissAmeliaPond I calculated 29.7 hour doubling time for yours. :smile:

  • @alqizwik Oh, oops! My first beta was at 13dpo, not 14dpo! 39.22 hours according to this calculator!  I guess I have a touch of pregnancy brain. :)
