    That is a great P4 level. I think that doubling time is also well within normal limits, isnt it supposed to be 48-72 hours doubling time when the hcg is under 1200?

    With both my pregnancy's my first beta was less than yours both times:

    pregnancy 1: Beta 16dpo 305 progesterone 80 - resulted in DD
    pregnancy 2: Beta 16dpo 351 progesterone 95 - resulted in twins due next may

    I only even had 1 blood test both times as the level was so high. I think your number is fantastic and I wouldn't be to concerned about the doubling thing every 2 days early on as it will just drive you insane. So long as it is going up that is the main thing... Are you hoping for a girl as I've heard an old wives tale about high HCG to start with means you will have a girl

    Hi and thanks for the replies.
    Kelly yes a girl would be nice as we have 4 boys and 1 girl living. We lost a little girl to stillbirth in 2002.
    I have one more beta on and progesterone on Wednesday.
