HCG

Post by kikib »

I LOOKS TO ME THAT MY BETA LEVELS ARE WAAYYYY LOWER THAN WHAT I HAVE BEEN SEEING. DOES THIS MEAN THAT I WILL HAVE A MISSCARRIAGE?

1ST 7/4 92.8
2ND 7/7 260
3RD 7/10 929

IT SEEMS THATS EVERYONE ELSE IS LIKE 5000-100000.

:(

From what I have seen around here, you want the numbers to keep doubling, which yours are more than doing so! Ghost could better answer this than me though. (((hugs)))

Your numbers look great! You are more than doubling each time! This is the calculator you can use to check. It may just mean that you have a singleton pregnancy. I definately wouldn't worry. You're on the right track!

Sometimes they start low and go nowhere. That is not the case here. Yours are growing nicely.

Looks good to me.

Your betas look good to me... I'm freaking out about mine right now because I'm afraid the high numbers indicate multiples.

9dp5dt=117
11dp5dt=357
18dp5dt=8,220

Ghost, do you have any thoughts on my situation? I was pregnant with triplets about this time last year, but my betas didn't rise like this. At that time they were:

9dp5dt=131
11dp5dt=274
18dp5dt=4,664

I'm super excited that things are going well, but I'm also a little frightened.

They have not run your ultrasound yet?

We run them after hCG gets above 3,000.

That day 18 value is pretty impressive. Could easily be a multiple. Of course, it's only guessing until the scan.
