Any update? Congrats! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baseline-beta-1640-11dp5dt#post-2001587 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 19:09:33 +0000 smtfaith 2001587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@getjazzy: Thanks so much!! I will let you know what develops and please send us good vibes and prayers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baseline-beta-1640-11dp5dt#post-2001586 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 19:08:08 +0000 getjazzy 2001586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@smtfaith: Wishing you luck mama! Either way, a nice strong number! I hope I catch your updates later on to see if it turns out to be multiples! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baseline-beta-1640-11dp5dt#post-2001576 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 18:49:49 +0000 smtfaith 2001576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@getjazzy: Thank you for replying! There sure is a huge overlap in ranges so I feel like it just cannot be determined besides ultrasound. I do know that with my daughter I had a starting beta in the 200's at about 4 weeks so this number is high. Cross fingers for us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baseline-beta-1640-11dp5dt#post-2001570 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 18:40:12 +0000 getjazzy 2001570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I should note I wasn't an IUI/IVF though so none of my betas were taken that early. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baseline-beta-1640-11dp5dt#post-2001569 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 18:38:39 +0000 getjazzy 2001569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@smtfaith: Its honestly the one thing in both pregnancies that I didn't write down so I don't remember exactly! For this pregnancy I was super late to get a draw (I was over 6 weeks because we were away on vacation) but when I looked at betabase it was over the median range for twin pregnancy which of course still falls within normal for a singleton. There is quite the overlap in ranges. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baseline-beta-1640-11dp5dt#post-2001563 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 18:28:48 +0000 smtfaith 2001563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@getjazzy: Congrats on your blessing! You must be very excited. How high was your baseline beta? For us, we just want anything we can get that is healthy. We never dreamed of such a high starting beta and hope for at least one healthy baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baseline-beta-1640-11dp5dt#post-2001555 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 18:23:50 +0000 getjazzy 2001555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow! Lots of mommies of multiples! I would have loved twins but it looks like this pregnancy is another singleton. My hcg has always been on the higher side of the brackets given so both times I had the "I wonder if it's twins" daydream. Good luck to you!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baseline-beta-1640-11dp5dt#post-2001495 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 17:32:46 +0000 smtfaith 2001495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Trailmix: Lol. Well if we were as blessed as you were then we would be ecstatic! It is nerve racking thinking of going for second beta tomorrow. I am praying it doubles nicely! Thanks for your reply! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baseline-beta-1640-11dp5dt#post-2001483 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 17:24:54 +0000 Trailmix 2001483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was around 1,200 at that point and it was multiples....I'm willing to bet you've got double trouble in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baseline-beta-1640-11dp5dt#post-2001452 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 16:48:20 +0000 smtfaith 2001452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: So glad to hear that your sister is happy and blessed. I am not sure when our first ultrasound is, they did mention thatchy may push it up when they heard that first beta. Tomorrow is my second beta. I am guessing we will learn more about what comes next after that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baseline-beta-1640-11dp5dt#post-2001373 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 15:54:53 +0000 twodoghouse 2001373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@smtfaith: Yes, it was awful for her. Especially since I was newly pregnant at the time too. She now has 7 week old twins, though, so things worked out for the best. When is your first ultrasound? Hoping this is it for you!! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baseline-beta-1640-11dp5dt#post-2001357 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 15:49:45 +0000 smtfaith 2001357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: That is too bad about your sister. That must have been very difficult for her. Hopefully things are better for her now.</p> <p>That was our first beta number. I go for my second tomorrow. Our last FET had a beta number of 34 and turned out to be a chemical so this time we are hoping this high number reflects a positive outcome on the way. The nurses did say it was very high and joked about quads but said only an ultrasound can determine the number that took. We transferred two excellent quality blasts. Hoping it is our miracle! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baseline-beta-1640-11dp5dt#post-2001348 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 15:28:25 +0000 twodoghouse 2001348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@smtfaith: My sister actually had chromosomal testing after her loss and the baby had a genetic issue, so it had nothing to do with her infertility or IVF. </p> <p>Have you already had two betas, or was this your first? I think quick doubling can be a big sign of multiples. I'll be curious to see what your other numbers are! Whether there's one baby or two in there, I am hoping for a very happy, healthy pregnancy for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baseline-beta-1640-11dp5dt#post-2001331 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 15:16:16 +0000 smtfaith 2001331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: Interesting! That is too bad about your sister. I certainly hope that will not be our case. So far the nurses and doctor are pleased with a high starting number. Keeping positive in hopes for the best! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baseline-beta-1640-11dp5dt#post-2001317 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 15:10:14 +0000 twodoghouse 2001317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@smtfaith: For what it's worth, I felt pretty good for having twins! I was extremely tired, but I thought that was normal for a singleton pregnancy. I didn't have any morning sickness, though. So, you never know! However, my sister's first FET had very high betas and there was only one baby. Unfortunately she lost that baby and during her second FET she had much lower numbers. Sure enough, she was pregnant with twins! So the numbers can be deceiving! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baseline-beta-1640-11dp5dt#post-2001257 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 14:38:47 +0000 smtfaith 2001257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsADS: Sending you lots of best wishes. Hope it sticks for you as well. I know all too well how nerve racking this all can be. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baseline-beta-1640-11dp5dt#post-2001247 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 14:36:10 +0000 MrsADS 2001247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This was after IUI, but my #'s were: </p> <p>14dpiui: 153<br /> 16dpiui: 452<br /> 19dpiui: 1,408</p> <p>Today I am 5w6d (26 dpiui) based on LMP so we will see if it sticks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baseline-beta-1640-11dp5dt#post-2001240 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 14:34:09 +0000 smtfaith 2001240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: I would be blown away if I actually had multiples--and of course very happy with one healthy as well! :-) The only symptom I have is very obvious highway of veins on my chest and breast so it would totally amaze me if I felt this normal and had twins! I am already in bliss imaging one healthy baby growing so if we had two then we would gladly welcome it. I must admit, my beta seems very high as I research...... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baseline-beta-1640-11dp5dt#post-2001234 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 14:32:07 +0000 meganmp 2001234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>9dp6dt I was 628 with twins, so it can be all over the place. I put money on two, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baseline-beta-1640-11dp5dt#post-2001225 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 14:28:05 +0000 twodoghouse 2001225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't remember the exact #s, but I was around 300 at 12dp3dt (15dpo sort of) and I have twins. How do you feel about multiples? :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baseline-beta-1640-11dp5dt#post-2001187 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 14:08:16 +0000 smtfaith 2001187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Green Grass: It must have been crazy times. I can only imagine. Thank goodness you have one healthy baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baseline-beta-1640-11dp5dt#post-2001186 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 14:06:44 +0000 smtfaith 2001186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: Aw thank you!! I will definitely check out that betabase! We really appreciate your reply, it gives us lots of insight! Congrats on your blessing, sounds like he is a cute little or not so little guy :-) Maybe we have a healthy singleton or twins....either way we are just so excited to have made it this far! We will find out our second beta tomorrow. Praying it doubles! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baseline-beta-1640-11dp5dt#post-2001178 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 14:03:20 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2001178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@smtfaith: (we ended up just having one, it was crazy times!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baseline-beta-1640-11dp5dt#post-2001175 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 14:01:39 +0000 smtfaith 2001175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Green Grass: Oh wow! Thank you for your reply and for taking the time to look it up for us! Congrats on your amazing blessings! That is incredible. I guess I will find out in the days to come what is happening for us. I am praying it doubles nicely! I find out tomorrow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baseline-beta-1640-11dp5dt#post-2001174 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 14:01:31 +0000 SweetiePie 2001174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@smtfaith: Welcome! I also was going to suggest checking out betabase. It's perfect for beta junkies ;-)<br /> At 12dp5dt I had 908. 14dp5dt I was at 2399. I only transferred one and went on to have a singleton. But my RE thought with those numbers ours may have split (we did ICSI, Assisted Hatching, and PGD - all slightly increase the chance of splitting). Yours are much higher and since you transferred two Id say there's a good chance youve got some twins in there ;-) </p> <p>But you never know, could be one crazy healthy little bugger ;-) Nothing scientific, just an anecdote - our 5 day blast was big and plump and my betas were high and our guy came out healthy and strong 7lbs7oz at only 37 weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baseline-beta-1640-11dp5dt#post-2001156 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 13:56:42 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2001156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>233 at 10dp5dt<br /> 1695 at 14dp5dt </p> <p>Found out it was quads!</p> <p>But I just looked up yours at the range at 15dpo is 9-2500, so it can vary widely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baseline-beta-1640-11dp5dt#post-2001154 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 13:55:54 +0000 smtfaith 2001154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ineebee: Thank you! </p>
