They look strong. Could easily be a multiple with numbers like that. Can't tell until the ultrasound, of course. If that day 5 was over 30, then I'd be almost certain it's a multiple.
Is tomorrow your day 10? If it's day 10, then you're probably looking at 350-400, although it varies a lot.
Thank you Ghost. My beta today was 269... Didnt double is that ok?

It went up 57%. That's a little low.
Might be okay, or it might indicate a problem. No way to know. They will check it at least a couple more times, and then comes the ultrasound which will be more definitive.
One thing I've learned on this board is that IVF patients worry a lot. Try not to worry about one low value. Might not be a problem, and whatever it means, worry won't help any.
Hey Ghost thank you. I will be having blood again tomorrow. I know if it doesn't double I am in for some trouble! I have had some cramping here and there but no blood... I will see how everything is tomorrow. Thank you once again!

.. to try to take a little worry if your mind. Say there were two that originally stuck, but one is great and normal and the other is abnormal, then the abnormal embryo might not double, but the other will, so the number overall does not appear to double, although you have one totally healthy baby in there!!! That happened to me...
