First timer...Beta Question

Rach97 · 03-18-2005, 01:27 PM

New to this board. I'm SOOOooo grateful today. BFP Finally! My first beta was 337 with progesterone at 191. I'm taking 2cc PIO along with 100mg suppositories day and night (accounts for high prog. level). Plus I'm on estorgen patches and I take baby aspirin everyday.

We transferred three grade-a embryos. This is probably a loaded question, but what is the average number for beta #1? We were told that this number is very, very strong and pray for a successful, healthy outcome considering my history. I was wondering if anyone had thoughts about this beta number being too high for a singleton.

IUI#1 pg\mc 9w
IUI#2, 3, 4, 5 All BFN
IUI-IVF#1
IVF#2,3
FET#1,2

It really depends on how many days past transfer your beta was on. As you can see below in my signature, my first was at 11dp3dt and it was 176. At my 5 week ultrasound, we saw one gestational sac. Of course, I am curious as to whether there's more we just didn't see. Won't know until the 28th for my 7w2d ultrasound. At any rate, I've heard HCG levels aren't a good indicator for singleton vs multiple.

My first beta was 11dp3dt. I'm scheduled to go in again in three days and pray that my numbers keep going up.
