Beta #2 XP from CAR

[megrae12]

I just got the call back from the RE. Betas are at 428. That is a doubling time of 79 hours. I am very nervous about all of this. My nurse sounded positive and said they looked good. I just wanted them to be higher. I go back Friday for repeats. Please say someone has experience with this?? I am on the verge of a come apart.

Beta #1 was 282

These are very similar to my first two betas. 254 and 410. My RE said a 60% rise in 48 hours (not 100% or doubling) was fine and he was right!!

It did not stop me from ordering a 3rd and 4th beta to make me feel better:) will you get more betas? (Eta Nevermind, I see you go back Friday, good luck!)

I do have a story that will hopefully make you feel better, if even for a minute.

My beta #1 and #2 were very similar to your numbers... but my #2 was drawn at 72 hours, not 48, making it shy of the 60% rise they like to see.

I of course freaked the hell out, while my RE sat there telling me it was perfectly fine. When I was waiting for beta #3, everyone on 3T (I hadn't intro'd here yet) was telling me to trust if the medical professional was happy about it, I could be happy about it, and lo and behold, they were right. I really hope you're going to see a similar pattern.

Big (((hugs))) for the stress. Beta hell/limbo sucks, even when it turns out just fine.

bluefairy5, Yeah. I am trying so hard to remain positive. The cramping isnt helping, and this is giving me flashbacks to my ectopic. My betas did the same thing. It's not pretty where I am at right now.

Just wanted to say good luck to you. My fingers are crossed for a great third beta.

I was told the 60%, too. I can't imagine what you're going through, though. I'm sorry. FX that your beta on Friday looks wonderful!

((hugs)) I hate it when betas don't behave. I hope that you get good news on Friday. In the meantime, drink lots of fluid and put those feet up. There's so much cramping in early pregnancy, but it can mess with your head!!

Stick, baby, stick!!

((Hugs)) hang in there, I've been in the same boat it went up! Stay positive! My beta went 12, then 15, then 142, then 287. And now a baby measuring 6 weeks and a heartbeat of 100

[megrae12]

fluffydamn thanks for sharing that. Hoping my numbers do a lovely jump as well.

Hang in there! FX that you get some encouraging news on Friday!

I'm so sorry you are going through this. My betas were slower rising so I know how stressful it can be. My first beta was 166, then 284, 471 and finally Beta #4 was 2032. They were all drawn 48 hours apart. My RE said it was probably a case of late implantation, but I was getting positive HPT starting at 4dp5dt. I'm currently 26w4d with one healthy boy. FX you get great news on Friday and can relax even if it is only a little bit.

FX that your 3rd beta is good. Mine was at a 52hr rate, which I was worried about, but we finally saw a spike at my 3rd beta.
