I thought for sure I was out, but I am feeding my one year old right now. Of course every case is different, but rising is a great sign! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slowing-betas#post-1727949 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 16:23:36 +0000 LAZB 1727949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runnerd: That is reassuring! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slowing-betas#post-1727929 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 16:13:46 +0000 mlm2934 1727929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LAZB: another thing to add - my doctor told me anything over 60% increase is positive, so sounds like you more than cleared that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slowing-betas#post-1727868 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 15:55:35 +0000 LAZB 1727868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runnerd: thanks for the link! Looks like my level isn't where it should be slowing yet, but I'm going to try not to worry too much since it's still doubling.<br /> @T.H.O.U.: thanks, I hope so! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slowing-betas#post-1727850 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 15:49:45 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1727850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>over time it does start to slow but it sounds like hopefully you'll get some good answers on Monday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slowing-betas#post-1727829 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 15:46:09 +0000 mlm2934 1727829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It does start to slow, I had that happen with mine, I used to have links to charts showing normal range, I'll see if I can find!</p> <p>ETA: here you go, the top part talks about double times at diff hcg levels: <a href="http://www.babymed.com/hcg-level-in-early-pregnancy" rel="nofollow">http://www.babymed.com/hcg-level-in-early-pregnancy</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slowing-betas#post-1727812 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 15:41:58 +0000 LAZB 1727812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: thanks, that's encouraging! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slowing-betas#post-1727810 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 15:41:29 +0000 LAZB 1727810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: @MrsMcD: thanks :)<br /> @Mrs.Someone: I know they slow when they get really high, but mine were only at 265 today. And I don't plan on any more betas, although my doctor wants me to come in Monday for an ultrasound because of the spotting I've had, and because we are leaving on vacation for two weeks on Tuesday. I'm very aware that we probably won't see anything though :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slowing-betas#post-1727799 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 15:39:13 +0000 ladybee 1727799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was so hard for me to relax with my pregnancy after a loss. Doubling is all that matters and I think I've heard that they slow down the more days post O you are. Average is great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slowing-betas#post-1727786 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 15:35:44 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1727786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>From what I've heard, its normal for the doubling to slow down as the number gets higher. No more betas for you, I hope? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slowing-betas#post-1727773 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 15:30:10 +0000 deactivated_account 1727773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm thinking of you, too!! :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slowing-betas#post-1727767 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 15:27:35 +0000 avivoca 1727767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know, but I'm thinking about you and so hopeful that this is your rainbow baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slowing-betas#post-1727764 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 15:26:51 +0000 LAZB 1727764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know I'm over analyzing things, but hoping y'all can help me relax a little.<br /> I had my third beta today, and the number came back double what it was 48 hours ago. I'm happy with that, but a part of me is worried because my number tripled in between the first two draws, so the rate seems to be slowing a bit. My HCG is right around average for 16dpo.<br /> Does anyone know if the rate fluctuates normally? </p>
