First Beta in and only 59

I just came on here showing of that I conceived naturally straight after an IVF cycle and now they warn me again that I might m/c.

Can I get some incouraging Beta numbers as I'm about to chew all my nails off.

I ovulated later so I think I'm about 13DPO and today is CD28 does anyone know what HCG I should be at.

Thanks in advance ladies.

59 is excellent for a first beta!!!

My first beta at 12DPO was 50 and I started off this pregnancy with twins, one turned out to be a vanishing twin, but still. 50 is a great number Lets hope and pray your next Beta doubles!!!

My first beta at 14dpo was 48 so 59 is nothing to worry about. What's more important is whether or not it rises appropriately. Congrats on the good number and best of luck with the next 8 months

Not sure if this applies to you, but when you conceive naturally, there is the potential to be off a day or two off with ovulation and that effects beta. I say this because my OB put my ovulation about three-four days earlier than I thought possible, moving up my due date (this happened at the first u/s, when they measure the fetus and get the hb). DH and I are still scratching our heads on that one. In my case, it was the one month where I wasn't using a ovulation kit or tracking temperature, so my dr. could be right. Of course, you may know exactly when you ovulated!

I also conceived naturally after a failed IVF-though I did not realize that I was preg-so my beta number is large because I did not test right away. Congrats that you are preg!! Do not worry, just enjoy! Your number looks great.

Your beta sounds pretty good to me. Mine was 43, and I think we were at about the same place. I would have loved a 59 - lol.

I do not know what will happen with me - I go back today for beta #2.

I will that your # doubles.

When do you go back for a 2nd beta?

Hi everyone

I had my 1st beta 9dp5dt and it was low at 36. My 2nd beta 48hrs later 11dp5dt was 89. I have my 3rd beta scheduled for 11/18 - 15dp5dt. I have been taking HPTs daily with FMU. I don't find the lines are getting darker. I am so stressed out. And I have been spotting on and off (may be once evrey 12-15 hrs) since 8dp5dt.

Did anyone of you with low beta have their HPTs darker? I am really stressed out and any input is really welcome.

I am in the same boat as you are. 43 was my 1st beta on friday. I went back in this morning and I am waiting for my results. Took 2 more HPT's since friday and they are both + but not any darker which scares the crap out of me. I did use a different brand, but I am a nervous wreck. I hope your Beta goes up, I will let you know what happens to mine today....ugh all I can do is

My Beta at 14dp3dt was 52. The lines on the HPT did not start getting darker until about 10 days after that. Please see my signature for my beta numbers. As long as it is doubling, you are good.
