It was later diagnosed as likely ectopic (they never actually located the pregnancy). Not trying to scare you, OP, but make sure you get a scan early, even if the numbers continue to double. I had no idea that betas could double in that scenario.

So you didn't have to have surgery or do the shot or anything? So sorry this happened to you. Thanks for the information.

Op here:

12 dp 5 day FET: HCG up to 85. At least the right direction? Would have told me to stop meds today if they didn’t go up from 29...

Thinking of you, OP. It's so hard. Not sure if you know about betabase website already, but looking at the wide spectrum of numbers helped me get a little reassurance.

I do, but never quite understand how to say where I am since many websites as for number of days post ovulation...which one do you use?

You are 12 days post 5 day transfer (12dp5dt), this is the equivalent to 17dpo (days past ovulation).

Thanks! Ultrasound next Friday to see if there's a sac in my uterus/rule out ectopic due to the low levels. Thanks for keeping me in your thoughts!
