1st Beta

Just wanted some thoughts on my beta. Im approx 4 - 4 1/2 preg. My beta today was 926. Is this OK - or too high??

This BFP was 2 months after my 1st IVF which was cancelled due to poor response.

Soo now I pray everything goes well!

My AMH showed a result of .01. Apparently 0-6 was in the normal range based on the scale they used. I honestly dont feel happy about the results at all - I mean .01 is as low as you can go. I would be happy with your result. There is not much info online regarding this test.
Good luck

I took a OPK test on Saturday March 14th and it was positive, and I took one on Sunday March 15th and it was positive. Does this mean I probable ovulated on Sunday, or Monday?

Anti Mullerian Hormone Test

My test result for this came back at .1, which my nurse said was in the normal range. Their normal range is up to 6. This doesnt seem right to me. .1 is as low you can go..Confused, if anyone has any info on this test please let me know. I know the reference ranges can vary from lab to lab as well.

Question about CD3 hormone levels.

Does anyone know how much E2 supresses the FSH if its high on Day 3 testing. For example, the first round of testing I did my FSH was 3.6 and E2 was 275.

Trying to figure out what range my FSH really was in??

Thanks

Question for Ghost

Wheatgrass and Royal Jelly, is there any harm /negative effects in taking these in prep for IVF? I am doing accupuncture and have been taking wheat grass shots daily, and wanted to add Royal Jelly - just curious if this is too much or a healthy route to go.

Thanks
