DH and I conceived naturally this month. Since I have a history of 2 unexplained miscarriages in 2008 and the loss of a baby at 23 weeks due to Turner's Syndrome in early 2009, I had my betas tested.
Typically, seeing betas double quickly would make me happy, but if they double too fast I get nervous, because this is what happened with the daughter we lost to Turners Syndrome (which is a chromosomal abnormality). My betas were really high with her. My OB suspected a multiple pregnancy, but obviously that was not the case. Turner's is a complete fluke. It can happen to anyone and it is very rare. After testing, my DH and I were told we were chromosomally normal.
So, here's my question. Can anyone tell me if they believe these betas to be too high for the gestational age of this baby? My first beta was drawn at 10 DPO. The number was 13. Next draw was at 12 DPO. The number was 41. My next beta was taken at 19 DPO and the number was 1556.
I plugged these numbers into the calculator at www.betabase.info and it says they are doubling every 31 hours. This seems very fast and my last beta seems very high for only 19 DPO (If this helps...I was exactly 5 weeks along when my last beta was drawn).
I have a sono scheduled for 9/10 (I will be 7 weeks).
If someone can help with my question I would be very grateful.
TIA!
