I had a high first beta -- almost 2,400 -- and turned out to be pregnant with twins.

Now they are awesome 2-year-olds.

Congrats, OP!

I’m not sure a high beta means a strong embryo. Both of my kids have low first betas (300-400).

These numbers are meaningless unless they are in the context of how many days past ovulation. My first beta was 116 at 16dpo.

This is OP. I think many of us have had some disappointing or scary experiences with fertility that makes it easy to be anxious. I really appreciate those who took the time to help me feel better!!!!

There’s a wide range of normal.

I was so super excited but now I'm a little concerned based on what I have read.

If you've seen google - why do you ask? Humblebrag much?

That’s a bit harsh. I’m one of the PPs who also had a high beta. I remember Googling and coming across stories about molar pregnancies and genetic anomalies.

i had a super high beta too -- like in the 3000s. went on to have a healthy baby girl. and my number also slowed down on doubling.

Mine was 2400 at 20 dpo. I was never worried. I am 8 weeks now and I measured the beta one more time wat 6weeks 2 days and it was +- 28000 so it has slowed down a bit on doubling time which I heard is normal. Good luck to us OP

This is OP. Thank you so much for posting, PP!!! That makes me feel so much better.

Step away from google! My betas were off and I stressed so much- but everything turned out fine. Baby was born happy and healthy. Best wishes!

UH oh. I looked at that beta site and it's not reassuring.
I'm annoyed because this entire cycle, I've never spoken to my RE, only my nurse. When I asked her if this was high, she just said there is a wide range of HCG numbers.

But this seems unnerving.

Use this site. http://www.betabase.info/index.html

Id start thinking about it as DPO 6+13 = 19.
