2nd Beta questions

Laenae · 03-24-2005, 07:20 PM

My beta on Monday 3/21, 9dp5dt, was 100.
My beta on Wednesday 3/23, 11dp5dt was 186.

The nurse said they like to see a 60% rise within 48-72 hours, and my rise was higher. She told me not to worry and that it was within range and that I should come in on Friday 3/25 for another beta. Not worry? Easier said then done! My boobs are not as sore as they were a few days ago, so I am worried. Of course, I am obsessing about everything.

Can anyone give me reassurance that this PG isn't sunk? I am nervous about tomorrow. Is a beta that does not double indicative of a miscarriage?

Thanks ladies.

Sorry I have been away for a few days! I see from your other pot everything turned out great! I was going to say hcg is supposed ro double every 2 to 3 days...not every 2 days! So your 1st 2 were just fine!

Here are my beta numbers:

3/11 (14 dpo): 136
3/14 (17 dpo): 240
3/17 (20 dpo): 771

As you can see, they didn't double in 3 days, but they caught up another 3 days later. I just went in for an ultrasound yesterday at 6 weeks and everything was perfect. Strong heartbeat and the baby measured perfectly. Hope this helps.
