First beta is in.

275. Apparently that's an OK number for 17 dpo, but it's definitely not so strong I can just relax. Next draw is Monday. Ah, beta hell. Or maybe just beta heck.

Ugh! I hate the beta waiting game. FX for great results Monday.

Also sending positive thoughts for a strong Beta on Monday. I'm sorry that you can't relax this weekend. Hugs.

I have my FX that Monday brings some good numbers!

[lolbraun]

Fingers crossed for next beta numbers!

[wannabmama]

Fx for you!!

If it helps at 16dpo I was 260. My RE was fine with that as long as it keeps doubling every 72 hours.

Well, that's kind of the thing. 275 would have been great at 16 dpo. At 17, not so much. It should be(as I understand) ~400 by that point.

Are you still doing betas, or are you done with that?

ETA, my RE is also fine with the beta as long as it doubles appropriately. But you know how it is when we've been TTC this long....

Hope you get great betas on Monday. Hugs because the waiting is awful.

I see. I started at 32, 79, 260. I was super concerned about these low numbers (I swear they were a different measurement than anyone else) but my understanding is it's not about your number as much as the doubling. My initial draw (32) they were looking for 20 as a minimum.

We decided I would discontinue betas and try to keep this cycle as normal as possible. (Slightly regretting that now but they wanted me to go to 10000 and that was going do be a lot of extra money) I totally understand your angst, hopefully you get a nice number in Monday. FX for you!

[scorpioscuba]

I'm sorry you are in beta hell. The waiting is terrible. FX the rest of the weekend flies by and you get great numbers on Monday!!

[URMySunshine77]

Thinking of you this morning! Send update when you can.

[tiresiastheblond]

Ugh--still no news! I've noticed that the worse the news is, the later in the day they call (maybe they get the quick happy calls out of the way first so they can spend time helping people digest the not-so-happy ones?). So I'm not feeling optimistic...

Yes, I'm going insane.

[rnmommy]

Are you able to see your results online? If not, I'd just call them.

Actually, I did call them kind of a while ago (not to ask about the beta, but because they need to call in a prescription refill today.)  Anyway, they did get back to me right after I posted this.  If you want to resolve a problem, just complain about it on the Internet!

[rnmommy]

I hope all is well!

Yes.  I posted the number elsewhere, but it was 843.

[scorpioscuba]

Awesome number!
