Anyone remember me? (PR) Beta question!

Hi Ladies!!

I know it has been forever since I was on here. 8 months to be exact. :) I hope some ladies remember me and don't think I'm coming in as a fly by. I will be back to posting a lot more in about two months, which is when I'll be off of maternity leave. I've missed you ladies!

I was wondering if I could ask some advice? I POAS yesterday and got a faint positive. For those that remember I have PCOS and take Metformin. I for the first time in my life got a +OPK on July 31. I don't know if that means I O'd on July 31st or August 1st or what. Let's say it was July 31 and we'll call today 13DPO. I got a positive on a First Response! I am very excited!

I do have a question. I got my bloodwork done today and they said my beta was 32 which seemed low. What were your Betas around 12-14DPO? I am really nervous with her saying this and from betabase.info etc I see a range of different betas which is why I find it weird she said it was low. I'll be on baby aspriin, progesterone, metformin and extra folic vitamins as that combo worked with my son it seemed. 

Would love advise about your Betas on those DPOs!

Again - miss you ladies and hope to be here more! OXOOOX

Re: Anyone remember me? (PR) Beta question!

  • Considering this isn't your first or even second pregnancy you should know the first draw is not what is important...it's the doubling time.

    To answer your question by first beta was 12

  • Mine was fairly low as well but like @Cheezus said, being your 3rd kid you should know that the doubling time is what matters.  And just throwing this out there, that can't even be completely held as a definite rule.  My betas with R dropped before rising.  I know I'm in the minority there but only time will tell how this will turn out.

    My first pregnancy was 36 at 11dpo.  My second pregnancy was 10 at 14dpo.  They have to start somewhere.

    ETA - and yeah, the doubling is what matters.

  • Mine was 111 on 14dpo...and my RE was hoping I'd get at least 50.  But, like PPs have said, it's doubling that matters.

    FX for doubling betas!  Congrats on your BFP!
