how low HCG is ok?

Post by kandice »

I just tested on 3/16/07 and I had a 38 (8dpt5dt) and they wanted me to come back today- Monday 3/19/07.


did anyone else start off slow and go on to have a successful pregnancy? a little "i did, i'm ok" replies, would really make me feel better- esp for the wait today- until 11:30 am or so to get my results.

Hi,

I know how it feels. The first time I did IVF my hcg was 24. It only went up to 26 after two days. So the next time I did IVf and I got a 48 I was still scared. I was hoping for something closer to 100, like a lot of girls I hear about. I was 13dpt3dt. I actually had a 82, but their machine was messed up.

Tons of girls got on and told me to be happy, I was pregnant and all that matters is that your numbers double. I am saying the same to you. 8dpt is very early to test so it seems understandable to me that it would be lower. Good luck today my prayers are with you, I know how it feels to worry about these numbers. My next number did not double fast enough for them so they retested me again 5 days later and it was torture, that time it had more than doubled twice so I hope you hear good clear news, it is hard when you are made to doubt and wait more.
Good luck!

Kandice...my betas were

7dpt5dt = 16
10dpt5dt = 159
14dpt5dt = 614

My numbers didn't quite double from my 2nd to 3rd beta and I found out on Saturday I'm having twins!

Needless to say I was shocked because my betas were not indicative of twins.

Hang in there, you never know how quickly things can change.

hugs,

BHCG

Post by hrdtqt »

The BHCG values REALLY vary, however... The suggested day 12 post transfer number seems to be around 100 to 150 +/- 20%. ( This is only learned from the many sites I have looked at on the net. ) Many will be out of this range and can still result in a live birth. The important thing is the doubling every 48 to 72 hours, think positive... Best of luck to all...
