Everyone says this but it's not true. The first number is the most predictive.
That's not true at all.

HPT is sensitive at 30, so 128 is a solid line.

The first beta was 8. I didn't have a second because I think it's a miscarriage. HPT says negative. I ovulated August 1

DPO means days past ovulation. Do you know when you ovulated? The time that has elapsed since conception means a lot more than the date of your last period (even though the doctors like using that date).

My first beta - at 10 DPO - was 7. My doctor told me not to get my hopes up. It rose really slowly, but it kept getting higher (I was tested every 6 days). That baby is now a very stubborn 3 yo.

Only if you know when ovulation/ conception roughly occured.

Probably not, but maybe you are a bit earlier than you think?

It's not about the first number, what's important is whether or not it doubles every 48 hours. So keep getting tested and if HCG keeps doubling should be fine.

How many DPO? My friend's first beta was a 5 and that baby is now 2 years old. It's gotta start somewhere....

I don't know, but keep getting it tested, and if it stays low, you may have an ectopic.
