I searched through all the message boards, but I don't think I saw a thread like this. Can you please give me your beta numbers (with dpo)? I recently got a bfp (yay!). My first beta was on 11dp3dt, but I don't go back for another blood test until 21dp3dt, and I'm freaking that my beta might be too low. Any comments would be appreciated!
as for Beta Numbers don't stress yourself out over them, every woman and every pregnancy is different, Julie has given you a good link to look at but i cant stress enough that everyone is different, please dont beat yourself up over number, lots of PMA.
take care and best wishes.

I totally agree with the other women. Everyone is so different and as long as they keep going up there is nothing to worry over. At the end of my 2ww, I only had a 62. Not a high number at all and I am pg with twins. Relax and enjoy the BFP!!!!
Congrats!!!!!

My RE said the actual Beta number doesn't matter as much as the rate at which the numbers double. I agree with the advice others have posted so far...every pregnancy is different (that's even true for women who have been pregnant before and then get pregnant again).
I am pregnant with my first. We did a fresh IVF/ICSI cycle in March that turned out negative. We went back in July for a frozen transfer (only one survived), and we got a positive test on Monday, July 23. On Wednesday I went for blood work and my Beta hCG was low- only 22. The more people I talk to the better I feel. I'm glad I'm not the only one worrying. We have been given an EDD of March 28, 2008. Anyone else due at the end of March, I would love a buddy?
I haven't gone for my second blood test yet. I have come to the conclusion that I have a retarded doc as she didn't even offer to schedule me one?? I am currently looking for a new doc and trying not to stress about my low number. The more I look into hCG numbers the more relaxed I am. I have an ultrasound for the 10th of August.
I'm like you and haven't joined any "expecting" groups yet as I'm afraid I'll jinx my pregnancy but I know I would sure love the support from others who are feeling anxious like I am. My husband is very supportive but he still doesn't understand like a woman does.
I think it's probably a good sign that your RE didn't schedule another test. She must not be concerned about your first number. I have also read a lot of posts by people who got low betas and, like everyone says, as long as they double, it's fine. Although, I think it would be irritating to not know anything until August 10th! I thought waiting until this Friday was bad enough!
Good luck. Hopefully, we'll both graduate to the "expecting" theads!!
Thanks for all your support. I hope everything is going well on your end. We got some bad news that we had an early miscarriage. Sometimes I feel so sad that I can't contain my tears and other days I'm happy that at least we know we can get pregnant.
