And, betas now

[emsumm]

Going in for a blood draw. At least the doc called, I guess? Think good thoughts please...

[KaraOrNot]

FX for you!

FX for you. Remember that they can't really tell anything until the second draw.

My first draw was pretty low - I think 112 around 5 weeks. I'm now 33 weeks. So, chin up until the second draw!

FX. Betas are a bit of a mind game so as chickadee said, try not to get caught up in today's number.

[blushing]

Good luck!

Fingers crossed for good doubling in a couple of days.

Whhaaaaaat. Oh no! I thought this would offer some reassurance.
Can someone explain please? I'm pregnancy dumb.

If you have hcg yes you are pregnant. But to be a good pregnancy your numbers should double every 48 hours. So you'll likely go back. If it decreases could be a chemical pg or another issue. Some people have stupid low first number and are still fine.

Thinking of you! My doctor did not call with the first number, but only the set, so I had to wait basically 3 days from the first draw. Just to prepare you, in case yours does the same.

The biggest thing is, don't pay too much attention to the first number, but whether it doubles within 48-72 hours. This website has a chart with betas for successful pregnancies, so you can see there's a huge range of normal.

Praying for good results! Like PP said, today's number will only tell you you are pregnant...the test in a couple days is what is really important. Most say that it should double within 48 hours but within 72 hours is considered normal. Good luck!

Well, pretty good news! Levels were just right for gestational age. Follow up on thurs :-)

Yay! FX for a great number on Thursday!

[Mushe]

Yay! Keeping my fingers crossed for a good number on Thursday.

Fingers crossed for doubled numbers on Thursday!
