Ghost/IVF nurse Question about Beta at 9dp5dt

Post by emfossum »

Well today started out with +hpt and I was so happy. I just got my beta results and they are 37.5 at 9dp5dt. I was told they were not good, but not bad and that we will have to wait to see the change on 8/19 for my second beta test. I am super scared, and want to know the likiness that this could be a viable pregnancy, or even some hard facts about what I can expect. How often do numbers in this range turn out to be good news. Any information would help at this point. I am kind of in shock because I was so hopeful I would get a high number, and even that is not all conclusive is it?

Thank you both for all of your help, and for all the time you dedicate to answering our questions. Both of you are such valuable resoources!!

That number is somewhat low, but not conclusive. A higher number reflects a better chance of a viable pregnancy. But it still can work out for you. Watch for the increase. Since your next test is tomorrow, watch for about a 30% increase or better.

And good luck.
Avoid IVF and surrogacy in Ukraine. Ukrainian centers pay shills to post here under numerous sock accounts pretending to be patients in Ukraine. Centers using such deceptive advertising cannot be trusted and should be avoided.

Thank you for your response. I made an error on the second beta date. It is Wed. 8/20. I will look for it to double or better. :)

I agree with Ghost. I have seen a lot of beta's that start off that low continue on fine. The next beta is crucial though! Good luck!
I am an infertility nurse and I work in a major IVF facility. I am willing to answer questions and give guidance, however, since I am not treating you, only your physician can give you the most accurate information.
