Help!, do you think this beta is too low??

Post by vicky77 »

Hi girls, I had my BFP today, I am very happy, but also very concerned. My beta was 45.9, today I am 12dp3dt, I transferred 3 embies, good grades. I am also having some brownish spotting, but very mild, on top of some cramping.
I've been having positive HPT's since Friday (9dp3dt), so if it was positive then, my HCG should have been at least 25, right?, then shouldn't it be higher today??

I am soooooooo nervous, please help!!!!!

If it's your first blood draw, that's great.
Or is it the second, when it should've doubled from the first?

Quit worrying, spotting is normal....if it's brown.

And congratulations! :lol:

Congratulations!!!!! My 1st beta was 56 - and now I am pregnant with twins too...my beta (up until this last one) has always been low for twins, and indicated a single....but the baby's have strong heartbeats, and are growing wonderfully. Keep the faith!!! Sounds like a great number to me!!!!!!

Vicky,

Congrats on the well deserved BFP!!! My 10dp3dfet was 34 and was so worried it was low. But I am 20 weeks now! I know the worrying never stops but try to relax and enjoy this blissful event that you are pregnant!

That's awesome, Vicky!!! Are they drawing more blood? I had 4 total and I stressed out with every single one of them, including the 1st U/S. And it was for nothing! But I'm so very happy for you!!!! Enjoy! You're pregnant!

PS: word of advice, stay away from google.com or basically, the internet. it'll drive you crazy comparing beta numbers and what they mean. The most important thing is it more than doubled!

Sounds like a hefty increase in two days - you should feel great, but I know you're like me and will worry worry worry....I did too until I got past my first trimester. I'm thinking all good thoughts for you - congratulations! Try, if you can, to relax and enjoy the next nine months!

Anna and Suzhan, are you guys in my head now????........it's unbelievable, what you said it's just exactly everything that's going on in my crazy brain right now!!. I am sooooo scared still, I can't seem to start enjoying this, I thought that with a BFP that would be enough for me to be the happiest person in earth, but no, I still worry like crazy, I really hope I can get to the moment when I can relax :roll:

I have my third beta tomorrow, will keep you guys posted....
