[quote=Anonymous]Hi everyone,

I've been going through IVF (DOR) and on our third retrieval we were thankfully able to get a couple blasts.  We did a fresh 5-day transfer on 9/9, and had my first beta level on 9/20 which was 280.  My second beta on 9/22 showed an HCG level of 825 which was a fantastic rise... but my third beta today (9/24) came in at "only" 1494, not even double :( while I know the clinic says they look for a 66% rise every 2 days and doubling every 2-3 days, I'm worried that my rise rate has already slowed from almost tripling, to not even doubling.

My RE didn't seem concerned and told me to come in for my ultrasounds on 10/6, but I can't help worry about the slowing rise rate even though it's still within range and meets their 66%/doubling every 2-3 day criteria.  Am I just being too overly paranoid?  We have wanted this so badly and I want to stay positive, but I am so worried something will happen and I'm waiting for the shoe to drop.

Thank you in advance[/quote]
