My test result came through on the my care website already…it did not even double in 79 hours…it only went up to 2059! Barren Librarian was right…shouldn’t have had it done. Haven’t gotten to talk to the nurses yet but now I’m double freaking out. Please tell me you know people where this has still turned out fine!!!
Update: I have since spoken to the nurse (whom I absolutely adore) and she said Dr. R said to tell me my number is within normal range and everything looks good. What I wouldn’t give some days to be a naive first pregnancy Mom! And I haven’t even been through half of what some of you have been through. One chemical pregnancy a year and a half ago and the RE I had refused to confirm it. However, I know all of your stories, and I know the dangers and as much as I’m trying to just relax and be happy…it’s also a very scary time. Thank you all for being here to answer questions and for being so supportive!
Lots of Love~Dawn

Not at all! Trust me I’m an HCG expert- 4 pregnancies analyzing betas.. that makes me an beta expert. Doubling time between 1,200 and 6,000 on average is 72- 96 hours.. After you reach 6,000 the doubling time goes to 96+ hours. You are right where you need to be!! I would be thrilled with that doubling time! Congrats! That’s a great doubling time for those numbers — Sincerely, Beta Expert. 🙂
Thank you so much!!! I was totally freaking out thinking it should be in the 4000-5000 range. I have spoken to the nurse since this so I’ll update it quick. 🙂
Exactly what calm persistence said. When they get high they just dont double normally. Thats probably why your doc had elected to not do a second. Dont worry-i bet everything is fine!
Thank you!
Completely agree with A Calm Persistence and Th Barren Librarian. When I get to my computer I’ll send you an awesome link on beta’s that an OB gave me – it explains exactly what they have said. Take a deep breath and try to focus on something else for a while. 🙂
Thank you! I’ve finally started making my cookie dough for Christmas cookies so mind is mostly somewhere else, lol.
These ladies are right!!! No need to freak out:)
Thank you, Caroline!
I agree… My clinic only does two betas if it’s under 1k. Once mine reached that I was told everything was good.
Thank you, Jojo!
Wooosaaaa- I second (third? fourth?) the knowledge imparted above. After 1,000 the doubling time is slower and 100% normal! If it makes you feel better, at 15dpo (about 3 weeks preggo) my number was only just barrreeely over 100. Meaning I wouldnt have crossed the 1,000 mark until week 5ish. A number even starting in the 1,000’s is great! calm your sweet head dear girl, there is a baby in there!! 🙂
Thank you so much!!! I know, I need to just relax into this…it’s just so hard sometimes, lol.
Here’s the link on HCG. http://www.babymed.com/hcg-human-chorionic-gonadotropin-pregnancy. Happy reading. 🙂
Thank you!
Awesome news girl! So pumped for you! Can’t think of a better Christmas present!
Thank you, Caroline! I totally have to agree with that!! 🙂
I’m glad things turned out well and sorry that you had a scare! ❤ Hugs!
Thank you!
