[HockeyWife86]

Am I over stressing?
Third Beta in at 1900

1st - 88 July 5th
2nd - 332 July 7th
3rd - 1900 July 11th

The doubling time has slowed down from 25ish hours to 38ish hours

I’m roughly 16dpo

Another draw done today July 13th is 3500. Doubling rate has slowed to 54 hours

I wouldn’t worry since you’re still well within the 48 hour doubling time. I’m no expert, but I doubt hcg rises at a perfectly steady rate. I would say as long as it’s doubling within 48 hours, you’re totally fine!

 

[mel28nicole]

Those numbers look great for how far along you are

 

[HockeyWife86]

Another draw done today doubling has slowed again.
Today’s results are 3500 so doubling rate is 54.

I had thought it didn’t slow down this early.

Wishing I had some symptoms. Feeling hopeless

I don’t think you should feel hopeless. I know if I were in your shoes I’d be a nervous wreck, because we think the worst when it’s our own baby. But from an objective point of view, you’re still in “normal” range. Most experts say doubling rates are normal between 48 and 72 hours, you just always hear the 48 figure. I would only be concerned if they slowed down dramatically.

Good luck, the early days are the toughest

 

[mel28nicole]

The numbers still doubled. I wouldn’t put too much thought into it. You’re going to get yourself worked up for something you can’t control. The numbers are higher than what I had with my twins. I had a draw at 5+2 in the 4000 range and 2 days later it was in the 7000 range.

 

[hellojello25]

Once the numbers get above 1000 it can take up to 72 hours to double. Your numbers are fine and there's no need to get anxious about it

Levels still being watched along with progesterone which has started to drop. They are starting the supps

I agree that your numbers look great! I'm glad you are starting progesterone. I am on my 4th progesterone baby!

Did you notice any side effects from the Progesterone? My fertility nurse said that im still above the numbers they want to see (anything above 30) but that it doesn't hurt to take them)

Not sure whether to wait for my next and last draw on Saturday to see if it goes down more or to just start them now

 

[nikki_]

I've had 3 rounds of fertility treatments and used progesterone each time. I have never felt any side effects that are outside my normal TWW/PMS ones. Just in case, though, I would take it before bed. That's what I do, and that might make the difference.
