confused quick question

Post by jackoa21 »

Hello ladies
I hope its ok I have a quick question. I had a 3day transfer and since have had a postive beta on June 11th (183) they wanted to test me 4 days later which than should have been a count of 732 but I was in the office so they tested yesterday afternoon (so only 3.5 days) well they called and the beta is 596 is this ok? I am worried. the nurse said she was not worried but if by Sunday (the next beta) it does not go up as much as they like she Might worry.. HELP I am confused.. Thanks

Try not to worry!

I think if your number doubles in 48-72 hours you are doing just fine. So, your number is right in that ballpark. It will be hard to wait for your next test, but just try to keep up with the PMA!

Please keep us posted.

Jackoa21 - welcome to the other side!

Please don't get too hung up on the numbers, they don't tell the whole story! I know it's easier said than done though as I held my breath between each test...

So without getting too hung about it :wink:, have a look at these sites for some more info on HCG... http://www.conceivingconcepts.com/learn ... s/hcg.html
and http://www.ivfer.com/hcg.htm

Hope this helps!

Lucy
Thank you so much.. I really had a moment there.. I dont know what that was all about.. The nurse said not to worry but I suddenly got really scared.. I feel better now.. The #'s went up and I test again on Sunday than hopefully on the first scan (so I can just start to worry about that)

how are you doing..
love and hugs
Jackie :D :D

Glad I could be of help!

I'm alright.. the worrying doesn't stop after a BFP :roll: I'm 6 weeks now and my HCG tests have finally stopped and I'm going to have my first scan tomorrow! I can't wait!!!!

Still don't feel pregnant though, I think that if the Dr turned to me tomorrow and said that it was a mistake and there isn't anything in there then I wouldn't be surprised...

Do you know when your scan is?

I am not sure. I think they are waiting for the HCG to climb (hopefully Sunday) and than they will set the scan. I am thinking possibly even next week...

You are right I am sure it never changes.. I dont feel pregant either the only thing I feel is cramps.. I asked the nurse and she said that cramps like AF is coming are norma.. between that and the hcg levels somebody is playing tricks with my brain..

Please let me know as soon as your scan is done..

love and hugs
