More Important? Beta number or Doubling?

twinone · 06-11-2008, 07:16 AM

I can't seem to find an answer on this and though maybe someone else knew, what do you think is more important to a healthy pregnancy, the beta number itself at a given time, the fact that it might double or triple or the combo of both?

With my first pregnancy I had numbers towards the higher end that alittle more then doubled, this was a iui with meds
This cycle was a natural iui and the numbers started out low but tripled and then doubled but I still can't help but think something might go wrong since the number started on the low side.
Any thoughts?
For refererence my numbers have been
11dpo- 14
15dpo- 69
17dpo- 214
19dpo- 703
22dpo- 2534 (saw sac and yolk on u/s)

My last beta numbers were similar to yours.
14dpo was 45
16dpo was 179
they started out low but rose very well. I had an u/s yesterday and there was a baby measuring 8w2d with a heart rate of 172bpm. Your numbers look great to me. And you already saw a sac and a yolk sac...that is great!!
Are they going to do another u/s in the next week or so?
Keep us posted!!

I think doubling is more important that the #. I think your #s are good, plus seeing a sack is great! Good luck.

The numbers look fine and the u/s results are really the most important. It is possible that you had a late implanter. Then the numbers seem to start slow.
