Beta start off great, then slow :(

[Anonymous]

Beta 1 at 11dp5dt: 570
Beta 2 at 13dp5dt: 1504
doubling time, 32 hours

Beta 3 at 20dp5dt: 15020
doubling time: 50 hours

I’ve had one donor egg miscarriage which followed a similar pattern except it slowed to 50 hours doubling much quicker.

Thoughts? My clinic has the B team nurses working because of the epidemic, or maybe they’re just stressed, because initially the nurse told me my numbers quadrupled. She didn’t read the chart to see it was a week since my last beta. I’m frustrated and scared.

No advice, just sending good thoughts. I remember so clearly being where you are now, and it is such a crappy place. Things will get better!

Have you looked at insulin resistance? It can be a cause of recurrent miscarriage. Cut out carbs now.

Once beats hit 6,000 they significantly slow. Since there was such a big amount of time between beta 2 and 3, you don’t know if it kept up its doubling every 48 hours and then slowed closer to bets number 3. I would be cautiously optimistic

This! Doubling time should slow as the numbers get higher.

Do you have an ultrasound scheduled yet, OP?

Yep, don't panic, OP.

these look like good number to me.

So backtracking your first beta to 14dpo gets you to 285 or so. Studies show typically good outcomes for betas over 200 at that point. I think your numbers are actually very good. Don’t panic!

OP here. Ultrasound scheduled for Monday, April 20. I have to go in alone because of covid. I kick myself for doing this right before a pandemic! But, I couldn’t take being cancelled 2 cycles in a row.

Mine did this while struggling with IF and after several miscarriages. It turned out to be a "twin" dying - delivered a healthy baby girl 9 months later. Good luck OP. Found out on an U/S similar to what you're doing next week.
