Just got the number from my blood test yesterday. Depending on whether you go by conception date or date of last period, I was either 4w2d or 4w6d pregnant (?) at the time of the test.

4447 mIU/mL

I have a repeat beta tomorrow. Someone help me interpret this?

Why don’t you just go for an ultrasound? That will tell you a lot more than a beta will. Saw my first child’s heartbeat at 5w2d.

You can’t always see something that early, so depending on the outcome, you could be worrying for nothing. My RE monitored my betas then brought me in for an ultrasound at 6w.

Ideally you want to see your betas doubling every 48 hours. Good luck with your draw tomorrow!

The raw number doesn't matter as much as the trend. It should be doubling. First sign of my miscarriage was that it was declining.

Sorry you are going through this stressful situation

Thank you for this!

So I’m 16 DPO with a beta of 4447. Per the betabase, that’s like off the charts high. That’s got to be a good sign right?

OP here. Repeat was 4378.

I’m assuming that’s the ballgame, definite miscarriage.
