Number didn't double- please help

rio · 08-03-2007, 02:44 PM

Hi- We just found out Aug. 1st that we had a bfp. Our first beta was 191 and our second beta (2 days later- today) was only 353. They want me to come in on Sunday for one more to make sure that it's going up. I'm so worried that it didn't double and that Sunday will be bad news. Does anyone know anything about beta numbers??
14dpO: 191
16dpO: 357
Any help would be great. Thanks so much.

Your # is very close to doubling in 2 days. Betas don't have to double every 48, I think it is 48-72 hours. Good Luck!

You want a 60% increase in 48 hrs. You are looking for a double in 72hrs. Your numbers are rising fine. Your doubling time is 54hrs so you are right where you should be.

Hey Rio,
I cycled w/ you back in Jan! Congrats to you girl!! This is your first bfp right? Well, enjoy it. Your betas look very good to me. Did you do a 3 day or five?? I'm soo happy for you. Let us know on Sunday!!! You will be fine.

Thanks Lianyla- I'm actually going out of town Sunday right after my blood draw with some girlfriends and won't find out until I'm in Idaho! I'm going to be really excited or be miserable and wish I was home. We did a 5 day transfer and my 1st beta was 9 days after the 5 day transfer. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Thank you all of you for answering my post- I feel much better. I'll fill you guys all in on the results when I get back on Thursday. :-)

Have a wonderful weekend!

You can always take a look at this beta calculator for reassurance:

Well girls- they did double. They went from 357 to 730. Now I just wait for my ultrasound on the 16th. Phew!! Still no symptoms- I had to take another pregnancy test last night (my girlfriends were laughing at me) because I don't believe it still- no symptoms or anything. But- that's good too I guess.
Thanks for all the support. You guys made me feel much better.
