Hi ladies!

I'm new here. I intro'd on the June GTKY a few minutes ago but thought it may be appropriate to intro here as well. I have been a long time lurker of GKU, and just recently began lurking TTTC. But someone was on my side this month and I got my first ever BFP this morning,  on a natural cycle. It is still truly unbelievable to me. I have not got my betas yet. I called the RE and she told me to come in Monday first thing. Do you ladies know what the "average" beta should be around 14dpo? Can it fluctuate from person to person, or is there really like a minimum of what it should be?

I feel like I knew so much of the ins and outs of trying to get pregnant but so little about everything now! I'm sure I'll learn.

Anyways have a wonderful Saturday evening, I'm going to try and convince H to watch Age of Adeline! Hoping to see lots of familiar names that I've lurked for so long come and join us

The first number doesn't matter much, it's the doubling time that matters. There is a HUGE range of normal. With that being said, betabase.com has some numbers women have submitted (go to beta numbers for single pregnancy). Welcome and congrats!!

Welcome & congratulations!!! I was in the beta game earlier this week. I went in for my first draw on Monday & got a 40. The nurse at the RE was a little pessimistic so of course I wigged out. When I went back on Wednesday they were at 105. They almost tripled! The importance is on the doubling, but I know first hand how scary hearing a "low" number should be. The range is so huge though (5-427ish), I wish they didn't give you those first numbers. Good luck & update us when you go in!

Welcome and congratulations! Like PPs said, it's not the number, but the doubling time that matters.
