Levels only increased 50%

Jules777 · 06-11-2008, 04:01 PM

My hcg only increased from 363 on 17 dpo to 545 on 19 DPO. I have another beta on Friday, but I know this means I am headed for another m/c.

Hey, hey, Jules, do not be so negative. Pray, why don't you? I know it seems like hope is lost, but just pray. I will remember you in my prayers.
Hang in there.

please try not to worry. my 14 day beta was 71 and 16 day beta was only 109. i was SO worried that they called me in for a third beta, but it shot up and I am now 14+ weeks pregnant. don't give up hope!

Hey Jules,
Good luck today. I am praying for you. Be hopeful and have faith (I KNOW how hard that is - I'm coming from almost 13 yrs of ttc, several cycles etc). We're all praying for you. Let us know as soon as you get the results.

Jules777 · 06-13-2008, 12:25 PM

Well my numbers increased to 878 which is a 61% doubling time. I am still in limbo. I go back for another beta on Monday.

November1968 · 06-13-2008, 12:51 PM

Keep positive. We're still praying, ok? Beta limbo/hell is awful, I know. My numbers were 109 10dp5dt, 169 12dp5dt and I had to repeat it again on 15dp5dt. I'd prayed in the 3 days between that it'd go up to about 400, which seemed to me to be the minimum that it should be. Well, God answered and answered good - it went up to 519. So, have faith and hang in there.
Let us know how it goes Monday. Try not to stress out this weekend (easier said than done, I know!)

Jules,
I'm only 5 weeks along and know how stressful these early days can be. I lost 3 last year. But hold on. My NP said ANY increase between 1.5-2.0 is NORMAL and 363-->545 in two days is a 1.5 fold increase. You probably won't feel better till you see the 3rd, but I think your beta increase looks fine.
Good luck,
Victoria
Every day I tell myself that LOTS of women who have had miscarriages have gone on to have healthy babies. Whenever my mind goes to the "dark closet", I say this to myself. Any I pray.

Jules, Good Luck today. I calculated your doubling time at 69.77 hours on the last beta. Anything under 72 is awesome! I am looking forward to hearing the next set.

AthenaD · 06-16-2008, 11:27 AM

Good luck with your beta today! Your doubling time should be between 48 and 72 hours. I'd say you're in good shape!

Jules777 · 06-16-2008, 12:03 PM

I am going to have another m/c. My beta only went up to 1008. I am to stop progestrone and go back a week from Thursday to see if it is an etopic.
