Hi there..just got today's BT results.... I am now 31DPO and they are 8630.... at 23DPO they were 3860...my IVF nurse says she's happy with that as they don't have to exactly double every 48-72 hours for everything to still be going OK. To be honest, I am worried though as I gues I expected the levels to be a lot higher. Does anyone else have any experiences with these type of levels?
Also my progesterone is 80 and last week was 120...but she said the drop there isn't a concern, because as long as it's over 30 they are happy. Still, I am worried.
I'd like to hear anyone's thoughts/experiences.... thanks.
Hi Possums
In my experience the nurses are usually really honest so if she's happy that's good! I think your levels look good...and everyone is different and after 5 weeks they don't necessarily double every few days. It's all good! Will they be scanning you early to rule out ectopic? My first preg was an ectopic...which ruptured...so ever since I've been scanned at 6 weeks..it's a good excuse to have an early look at bub!
The HCG sounds fine. I never had my progesterone checked throughout my pregnancy as my doc didn't feel there was any point to it so I can't advise on that one.
OK thanks everyone, I guess I am just extra cautious....my first scan is in just under 2 weeks time (8wks).... my first pregnancy was ectopic too which is a really scary experience and I guess that, combined with the IVF experience, just leaves me a bit more anxious than I maybe would have been.
Thank you very much for the responses. I'll try not to stress.
