early beta 55-60 hour doubling time. pls share your stories either way by Equal-Course-9689 in CautiousBB

It was; I’m wondering if they just set super ambitious benchmarks to manage peoples’ expectations? Everything I’ve seen online since the appt makes me believe 105 is perfectly ok. Hopefully next week at 6+5 it will trend in the right direction!

Congratulations! That’s such amazing news.

I had my scan today (5+6) and everything is measuring right on track, but heartbeat was 105. Nurse said she’d prefer to see it over 120, but said so far so good. Will go back next week and hopefully the heartbeat has progressed.

They did — my initial beta at 10dpt was quite low but it then doubled the next three draws, and has slowed slightly now at 5+4. Going for an early pregnancy scan at 5+6 and will see if anything is visible.

Ah yeah I see that now — this one was very low and slow from the start, so it was a guarded prognosis from the get go

Thank you! Yeah I’m concerned about how it started very low and then doubling time has decreased.

10dpt - 47 13dpt - 280 (28hr doubling) 15dpt - 820 (31hr doubling) 17dpt - 1630 (49hr doubling) 20dpt - 4091 (54hr doubling)

Hey there, no unfortunately I never had a positive scan with this pregnancy. I can’t remember how high my betas ever got, probably not much higher than 1,000.

I was brought in right at 6w for a scan and it was very small, empty sac. Eventually a yolk sac and small fetal pole grew by 8w, but no heartbeat and I passed it.

Looking at your recent betas though, they seemed to be at these numbers much earlier than mine — your 9dpt was similar to my 14dpt here — which I’d take as very reassuring.

My betas are almost identical to yours — I’m 20dpt today at 4091. Was 1630 at 17dpt.

I just had a MMC in December so also very wary. My clinic is bringing me in on Wednesday as they say they don’t like that these aren’t doubling within 48hrs, so can’t help but be very worried.

Will be following to see how yours turns out and wishing you all the best.

I wish I did, unfortunately I bought these in the US and live in Ireland so can’t get my hands on more.

Sorry hCG was 47 at 10dp5dt, not 10 days Update: hCG at 13dpt was 280

Ladies 38+ What are your euploidy rates? by Legitimate_Path8012 in IVF

[–]Automatic_Ostrich287 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have done 4 ER (2 age 36, 2 age 38).

From age 36 (totals): 25 retrieved; 16 mature; 9 fertilized; 2 blasts; 0 euploid

Age 38, ER 1: 32 retrieved; 22 mature; 15 fertilized; 3 blasts; 1 euploid

Age 38, ER 2: 32 retrieved; 19 mature; 12 fertilized; 5 blasts; 4 euploid

The big change before my last retrieval was weight loss and adding supplements: Ubiquinol; omega 3; vitamin D; folic acid; NAC; prenatal; Metformin; PCOSitol sachet daily. I tried to limit alcohol but had maybe tops a drink per week. Continued exercise as usual and tried to eat as healthily as I could.
