I guess I'm supposed to be posting over here now, so here goes...

Beta #2 was Wednesday (sorry for the delayed posting-- I was out until after 11 PM Wed and Thurs I was in training all day and had evening stuff, too). My second beta was 138 (at 16 dpo), and my progesterone was 34.1. Given that Monday's beta (14dpo) was 43.8, that gives me a doubling time of 28.5 hours.

The RE is not planning to pull another beta, but I'm wondering if I should ask for one. It seems a little odd to stop tracking a beta at 138 (is it?). The next thing they have me down for is an ultrasound at 6 weeks, which is 10 days from now (!).

Oh me too, I'm glad it's a positive update!

If I get a positive beta, I only get one more, apparently. Even with a history of ectopic.

If you want another I'd say it doesn't hurt to ask. Even at your family doctor.

That is so fantastic! I personally would probably want one more, just because I'm crazy. I ended up with 4 this time. Two days apart, then 6, then 4. It absolutely can't hurt to ask!

I think two betas is standard, just to see if it doubled, but if you voice your concerns about the number being low, they might let you do another. If not, hopefully they'll reassure you that another isn't necessary.

But great doubling time!
