anything over 50 is considered a positive, so congratulations. the range for HCG is so wide, so dont worry about the numbers, it is more what they continue to do than the first one. You think the 2ww was long, well believe me (sorry) but the wait until your heartbeat scan is the longest ever.
good luck

Congratulations Michelle How many day post ET are the beta numbers? Either way - the beta looks very strong and healthy! Sometimes the betas mean multiples...but this is not always the case...mine were extremely high but turns out she is just one healthy little baby Be happy - you are pregnant and enjoy the time!
Thanks for all the words of encouragement...you're RIGHT... I need to just ENJOY! Just seems like after so many disappointments, it is really hard to not keep looking over my shoulder...(if you know what I mean I'll keep you posted!

Michelle - congratulations! I am 27 weeks pregnant after my first BFP (4th attempt at IVF), and I worried about everything & anything for so long, so I understand. I think I even thought my Beta was too high at one point! Mine was 160 after 2ww - so don't worry. Just relax, and enjoy! Congratulations!!!!

Don't get hung up on numbers - it's over 50 and good, so just enjoy that!!
The meaning of numbers vary from person to person and they are only guidelines - this time, around 6 weeks, my numbers were astronomical - in fact, above the 'norm' - it still still out to be only one. Yet I know of lots of women who had lower numbers and then had twins!!!
Take care
