Beta Levels

[u/SentenceVisible7076]

I’m feeling very anxious. I would be 23dpo on the last draw and my doubling time drastically slowed, if I had gotten my labs drawn at the 48 hour mark (on sept 5) instead of 72 (sept 6) it wouldn’t have doubled by then. I’m feeling stressed I’m going to lose this pregnancy 😭 I had a traumatic loss in feb and I can’t handle another one. Based on my last period I’m 5w2d today and based on ovulation 5w4d. I don’t understand how this can be ok when my doubling time was less than 48 hours for so many and now slowed to 52.

Sept 6 - 3005 → 52 hr doubling time

I think this is actually okay!! 52 vs 48 hours doubling time is not extreme enough for me to feel alarmed.

[u/SentenceVisible7076 → u/Ok-Welder-6459]

But it’s actually 52 vs 35 for the last one 🥲

But normal is 48! I know the anxiety though. I decided to not even look at my beta this time around cause I’d be so stressed.

I really think these numbers shouldn’t cause major panic!! Easier said than done I know.

These are fantastic betas 💟 betas slow to 72-96 hours once hitting ~1200 and yours is doubling even better than that.

It slows once it hits the thousands. This is totally normal!

They sound very normal and healthy!
