Ghost(Anyone) - Beta Numbers Question

Post by MrsIVFinNYC »

Ok...I had my beta today and it was 63.5. Looking at everyone elses numbers it seems low and then when I look at some of the signatures where they had a chemical they had low numbers like I did...I'm so freaked out now. Is this a low beta? Someone help me!!!

i don't think its too low.....how many DPT are you now? I think what they look at is how the numbers increase in 2-3 days rather than the starting number.. Ive seen other people with a first beta in the 60's that went on to have a healthy baby!

Need more info.

When was your transfer? What was transferred (day 3 embryos, day 5, etc.)?

A 63.5 at 9 days is probably fine. A little lower than most pregnancies, but not really low.

My beta 12dp5dt was 136, 14dp5dt 314 - so it was probably even lower than yours at 9dp5dt. The results of mine just learned how to stand up in the crib and turn on the mobile instead of napping... :D
