Beta question...

MCS · 07-24-2005, 11:32 AM

I tested on 16 days post 3 day transfer and got a positive test -- 490 HCG and 371 Progesterone. Today at 20 days post 3 day transfer my HCG is 1873, Progesterone is 334. Is the HCG doubling appropriately??? I'm not sure how to figure out what it's "supposed" to be. I've been taken off the PIO shots due to my level of progesterone (this happened with my pregnancy with my son too). They are re-testing me one more time next Thursday...

I appreciate your feedback!

Hi Marcy!

Congrats!!

They generally look for betas to double ABOUT every 2 days. So, on 16dpt you were 490. If that perfectly doubled, on 18dpt, you'd be 980. Then if THAT perfectly doubled, on 20dpt, you'd be 1860. So you're even a little bit better than that, so yeah, I'd say your numbers look great!

Do they have the first ultrasound scheduled yet?

Again, congrats!!

Samantha
