AW - first levels are in!

[dazdareis]

Alright ladies, I know I should probably put this in a more specific threat but I couldn't help myself! Since this is my Nth time getting pregnant (3 mc, 2cp) I demanded betas. Up here it's not a common thing, but I was given the go-ahead to do it. Well, my numbers came in this morning!!

At 5w2d my hCG is at 1441 (I'm thinking this is a good number, am I right?)
And progesterone is 79

Since I don't know anyone else up here who's had their Betas done, could I get some input for peace of mind? Maybe share your numbers? I know that it's mainly the doubling that matters, but I need to occupy my mind until Wednesday! TIA.

**Update**

Well, my results are in for my second pull. They went from 1441 to 3159 in 48 hours. When I saw the numbers I broke out into hysterical sobbing I was so happy. Finally, after 5 losses, this looks like our Rainbow sticky baby!! Thanks so much ladies for listening to me gush.

I don't know about the HCG because I only had my betas done at 14 & 16 DPO but I believe the progesterone is great!
Here's a link that talks about averages (but with progesterone, it's always good to be above average!)

I dont' have much to add, but congrats on the good looking numbers!

Awesome! You can also check out betabase.info . It's what we reference after using infertility treatments since we will always get our betas.

Congrats on a great beta!!

Thanks! That's such a great reference! At first I thought it was a great number, then I started to stress but now I'm back to calm. I really appreciate it

That number sounds good. Will you be getting them drawn again in 48 hours?

Yup, I go tomorrow. When I asked for Betas, I thought it would ease my fears. Now I'm anxious about going tomorrow and not being happy with the progression. Being PAL is so damn stressful ...

dazdareis,PAL Brain is a fucker! But no sense in fretting! FX for great doubling numbers!!!

[kbrooke06]

On the beta base site, you can enter your betas and it'll tell you the doubling time. It helped ease my nerves a bit

Fx for a great repeat beta!

[lycih]

That's an amazing progesterone number! FX for a great doubling time tomorrow

[USCgirl]

Good luck with your second draw and try not to worry too much. I am sure it will be okay. Keep us posted!

[dazdareis]

Thank you ladies!

[karalee]

Welcome and congratulations!

[craftcrazymama]

PAL brain definitely sucks!

After 11 (yes 11!) tests I also went to the doc and asked for Betas. Mine, at approximately 4w2d, were 230. Going today for my 48 hour follow up and I am freaking. My betas with my DD were really high but then I would have been further on. Hate all the darn over analysis and panic PAL brain puts us through!!!!

[teambrink]

Just want to say congrats. I'm hoping things continue to go well for you.

[crazycatlady6]

That is a good beta. FX for a good doubling report!

[elliecat17]

I got mine drawn monday and they were at 40. Getting it done again today. Can't say it's not freaking me out a little though, it feels so low. I had it done at 15DPO.
