beta- do you think this is low?

Ok guys be honest. I had my beta yesterday 8 dp 5/6dt (I cant decide if its 5 or 6 day. This was a FET so embryo was frozen on day 6 but on day of transfer the embie still had not expanded back to where it was when frozen). The results were 62.1. I feel like this is quite low. I know its the doubling that counts, but would love to hear people's stories (good and bad) about betas starting at this level. Thanks!

laura, as you can from my signature, I started off very low, progresseed very slow and finally starting taking off with my betas. I wouldn't be so concerned about the actual number, but the doubling is the most important issue.

Good Luck and congratulations.

My RE wants to see a beta of at least 50 by day 14. Since you are at day 13/14, your beta seems fine! Also, I've heard that IVF betas start off lower for some reason.

Congratulations and best wishes!
