Its me again! (Difficult transfer/stimming for FET).
So today was an interesting turn of events for me. Here are my beta results
13 dpo = 60
15 dpo = 100 (65 hours)
19 dpo = 155 (153 hours)
22 dpo = 440 (47 hours)
Going for an ultrasound on Monday. If this little one keeps doubling does it have:
1) An increased chance for miscarriage or still birth?
2) An increased chance for birth defects.
I transferred three 2 day embryos so it could well be a vanishing twin, although the initial beta numbers are low for that.
What are your thoughts? How often do you see something like this turn into a healthy pregnancy and baby?
Thanks as always.
Congrats on your pregnancy!
1. Yes, there is increased risk of losing this pregnancy early on, when compared to pregnancies with normal hCG doubling times. Never heard of a link between hCG doubling time and stillbirth, though.
2. I don't know.
Your clinic will be watching for a possible ectopic.
I don't know how often a slow curve like that results in a healthy baby. Pretty often, I'd say, but not as often as when the hCG rises faster. Follow all of your doctor's instructions!
Good luck.
Avoid IVF and surrogacy in Ukraine. Ukrainian centers pay shills to post here under numerous sock accounts pretending to be patients in Ukraine. Centers using such deceptive advertising cannot be trusted and should be avoided.
