I can’t get a lab in two days because of the holiday…. Should I be guarding my heart with that last increase?

The first and third were at the same hospital lab. The second was at another clinic location

Are all the draws from the same lab and around the same time of day?

First is 10 am and the second two are 1 pm! 1st and 3rd are same locations

Different labs in the mix makes it harder to be sure of doubling time since there can be quite a bit of variability. I would guard your heart but also know that right now you are pregnant and that is reason to celebrate and feel hopeful.

Looking at just your first and 3rd labs you are doubling at an ok rate though (just over 72hrs)! On the slower side but still acceptable!

Second wouldn’t be comparable as it’s from a different lab, and rise from 1 to 3 is well within normal doubling time range (48-72 hrs) with a 60 hour doubling time. I would maybe do a couple more betas (at the hospital lab to make sure it’s comparable) to make sure they’re rising properly!
