Could anyone put my mind at ease a bit here??

I got my hcg levels back finally. They were great and high Tuesday at 15,000. Well on Thursday the results were 23,000. So they didn't double. Can this be okay? I know they are supposed to double in 48 hrs and I am freaking out a little bit. And since I am high risk, I am worried. Could anyone put my mind at ease at all?? Tia. xoxo

Once betas get so high, their doubling time slows a lot. I'm surprised they even did repeats with your levels as high as they are. Usually ultrasounds are more accurate once your betas get high enough to see something.

So don't freak out. They rose a lot, and you have no reason to think everything isn't just fine.

Totally agree with the answer above. Your numbers are great!

Agree 100% with tdmd09

My third round was not a full double from the second round and at that point I think my numbers we in the 5000s, so they were already starting to slow. My doc was pleased with the numbers anyway.

I agree with the ladies above but if you want to see that your levels are in the normal range...

Ditto everyone else. I'm shocked they even did a second beta draw. At 15,000, you're way over the minimum most docs want betas at in order to see anything on u/s (which is like, 1500-3000). After my third draw (17,345), I stopped noting what my beta levels were, but I'm sure they didn't keep doubling every 2 days.

Thanks girls. I did end up looking at several sites and it put my mind at ease. Also reading your comments here. Why, I wonder then, is she so concerned and wanting me to come in tomorrow for another ultrasound?? I have relaxed about it and I am not so worried but still a little concerned.

I think you need to ask your doctor why they are concerned. It doesn't make sense to me. Your numbers are fantastic!

Ditto. Those numbers are phenomenal. The 15,000 alone indicates a viable pregnancy (not guaranteed, just viable). If there were a problem to be concerned about right now, it's highly unlikely you would've even gotten close to that number.
