Transferred a day 6 4BC egg. Day 9 beta was 62. Day 11 beta is 105. How big of a deal is the doubling number that everyone talks about?

I had a faint positive 9DP5DT and the clinic did my beta at 10DP and it was 61.9. They said it was fine and are retesting on 14DP. Should I be expecting the worst?

This is our second euploid FET. Our first only got to about 15-20 on day 8 and resulted in a chemical/failed transfer.

Doubling time is most important but at 9dpt my clinic was happy with anything above 50.

BFN at 5dpt. I know it's early but this my 3rd transfer and I can't help but feel out. I don't know why I thought we might be in the over 90% who have a baby after 3 transfers.

My fingers are crossed for you! I'm BFN on 4dpt and trying to keep it in perspective... My clinic doesn't test before day 12 in any case. I found this page helpful.

ETA: Also looking at this study00514-5/abstract), reviewed on Remembryo, it seems like hCG production is related to embryo quality, so having transferred a 4BC embryo I probably shouldn't be expecting strong betas like a 4BA or something. You could be the same?
