2nd hcg beta... I’m worried ?

My first hcg beta on 12/14 was 83 at 8dpt5dt. Today 12/20 at 14dpt it’s 548. That’s not doubling right? According to the message from my nurse on my patient portal the doctor said my numbers are good. But that seems really low. Also she said that my was 31 which is low. I’m trying not to freak out... I go back again Friday for repeat labs. What do y’all think?

Adding extra progesterone wouldn’t hurt. Next blood work will be higher ???? but you numbers are good. Congrats ❤️

@angeliz I didn’t think 31 sounded bad but the doctor said “it seems a little on the low side” so to be cautious added extra progesterone. ??‍♀️

I don’t think 31 progesterone is low. It fluctuates. It’s normal to me. Search here for progesterone levels and compare

I understand cshell. I can’t imagine the worry you go through after a loss. I’m a hot mess with this pregnancy, my first ever! Everything scares me and makes me worry.

Thanks for the encouragement ladies. It’s so hard not to worry. I had a miscarriage after 2 months ago after my first FET and I just don’t want to go through that again.

And I’m on progesterone in ethyloleate injection and they started me on prometrium today.

Thanks @keebs for explaining it to me!! My husband is trying to explain the math to me too and I’m just terrible at math. But I think I’m beginning to understand. I’m going to trust that everything is ok and hope that it continues to go up Friday.

But it only needs to double every 48-72 hours. It doesn’t have to be right at 48 hours. At 48 hours it needs to be a rise of 66%. You are doubling every 52 hours which is well within the timeframe they want.

Are you on progesterone? Are they going to give you some? I don’t know much about progesterone :(

When I calculate it, if my hcg was 83 on 12/14 shouldn’t it be up to 664 today if it was doubling every 48 hours?

And what was 31? That word got left out.

You are doubling every 52 hours. So that puts you right where you should be! 48-72 hours. Your hcg is great!
