my beta at 10dp5dt- what does it mean?

Hi,

My beta is 54 at 10dp5dt. They said it's positive, but didn't say if it's normal and they can't tell me how strong the pregnancy is either. Does anyone know if this is a good number or not? I'm going crazy!

thanks!

First off, congratulations!!!

54 is on the low side. But FETs are often lower. It seems the embryos are sometimes a little slow resuming development.

Congrats and stay postive!!!! Now kick back and put those feet up and take it easy. Try not to worry. I was gonna suggest to call your doc and try to see if you can get in Monday instead, but after thinking about it ...it would probably be best to wait till Tues so that you can see if your numbers go up by at least 60%. Dont worry about doubling....I have read at least 60% every 2 days. Is that right Ghost? Either way you are pregnant! So try to relax and deep breathe...find your happy place...tell DH to rub your back....do whatever it is that helps you to relax.

Yes, there is definitely a 60% rule. I saw a presentation of it...where was that...New Orleans???

I've never heard 60%. Good to know. Thank you both for the advice. I'm going to try to just chill for the next couple of days and try not to lose my mind with poas.

I don't like to hear that 54 is on the low side, but that's interesting about fet betas are lower in the beginning. I just hope it's much higher on Tuesday.

Anyone out there have a beta in the 50's and go on to have a successful pregancy? I hope it happens all of the time!

Just FYI- I didn't have FET, however, when I was prenant with my dd, my first beta was a 17. She is now 2 1/2 years old. 54 sounds good to me CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Mulligan,
Check this out. It's a database of women's beta who went on to have successful pregnancies. I have my second beta today. So I'm on pins and needles waiting for my results. I was at 91 12dp3dt. Good luck!
