Beta numbers

jadjard · 09-15-2008, 07:48 AM

My beta numbers do not seem good. Just looking for opinions/thoughts on them. Thanks.

13dpiui 44
15dpiui 73 Doubling 58.87 hours
18dpiui 144 Doubling 73.46
Another beta scheduled for 20dpiui

They seem too low, but my doctor says they are close to the range they should be so to not count myself out. I've had a chemical before but the numbers were SO much lower. I'm very nervous about this one.

It may be that you just have lower numbers than some other people. I think that the important thing is that they are doubling around every three days. Stay optimistic.

Thanks for asking!!

My beta went from 144 to 277. The doctor then set up an ultrasound.

1st ultrasound 5w4d showed an empty gestational sac
2nd ultrasound 6w2d showed an empty gestational sac (with a possible something near the outer rim)
3rd ultrasound 7w0d showed an empty gestational sac (with a possible something near the outer rim again)

RE says to not rush into a D&C (which I wasn't planning on). So we are waiting 2 weeks for another ultrasound. I have pretty much convinced myself that it is a blighted ovum. So in my mind I am waiting for the bleeding to start. I wish I had better news.

I just went back and read your signature line. Remember that my numbers never doubled. So yours look so much better and that last one was a great jump. I never had that.
