Beta Numbers-Please help

gwomen · 07-30-2007, 08:28 PM

Just found out that I was pregnant on 7-25. We did a fet with DE. Below are my beta numbers:

7-25: 1155 (13dp3dt)
7-27: 2466 (15dp3dt)
7-30: 5966 (18dp3dt)

U/S scheduled for 8-7.

I am concerned about the 3rd beta becasue it did not go up more since it was 3 days in between vs. 2 days in between.

Any thoughts out there would be greatly appreciated.

I wish I could tell you what the numbers meant but from what I can see, they look wonderful! I've been googling like mad since I got BFP about beta numbers. There are a lot of helpful websites.

Congratulations!

Your numbers look great. The normal doubling time is 48-72 hours and as they go higher, they DO slow down! Congratulations and best wishes!

I understand that the beta numbers slow down but should they slow down at the levels that I am at?

I thought they normally slow down at 6 or 7 weeks not at 5 weeks.

Thanks again for your thoughts and good luck.

Thanks for all the responses everyone and hopefully the u/s will show everything that we want. This 1 week wait is driving us crazy but your responses have put as ease.
