Super 1st beta, 2nd increased 62%

Soupy · 07-10-2009, 09:36 AM

Hi there,

Just had my second beta drawn. My first on Wed was 505, we transfered 2 5day blasts, then my second draw today and was only 819-- fresh IVF.

I'm reaching for straws here, looking for any ladies who may have had similar betas with successful pregnancies. I go back on Monday for the third, but am fully preparing myself to lose this pregnancy.

I am hoping that only one embie has expired, thus slowing the rise slightly, and the other is holding on.

****, this is going to be a VERY LONG WEEKEND.

Hi! WHat did you doctor say about the second beta>>?? I have read a ton of people on here that have had slow risers! Your beta was so big the first time, which is great!

mammawannabe13 · 07-12-2009, 05:32 PM

Soupy, the clinic I use looks for a 60% increase every 48 - 72 hours, not a doubling. They say that the 60% is their standard, and your numbers are right in there. Good luck.

Soupy I just wanted to say GOOD LUCK on todays beta. Praying for nice high numbers for you!!!

Thanks Deneil-- Just reading your signature and Congrats to you!!!

I had my beta today and it was 1683 PHEW! From 819 on Friday. So a doubling time of about 69 hrs. The nurse was relieved, as was I-- she said it was good. I am to back in a week, just as a precautionary to make sure things are moving along. Then if everything is okay, we'll be scheduled for an ultrasound.

Still extremely-cautiously pleased, and the numbers never really matter until the heart beat is seen on ultrasound.

Thanks to everyone for posting their info and sharing their stories.

Jenx-- still crossing my fingers for you.

Beta #4 is back 4848 and nurse says its looking good. I go for u/s next week, praying to see hb. I know betas slow down after about 1600, but I'll be much happier to see hb instead of numbers.

Thanks for your support ladies!

Hello Ladies,

Just wanted to update my sad ending. We went for a 9 wk u/s yesterday and there were twins, but sadly both hearts stopped beating. I'm going to wait and see if they pass naturally, if not, then D&C.

I'm getting thru it and FINALLY going to close the chapter and journey thru IVF. I have two beautiful children conceived thru IVF and now, we are going to adopt our third child.

If anyone is planning on adopting, maybe I will see you on the adoption boards.
