Beta level ?

So I had to go mon and wed and my levels came back 982 mon then 2774 wed, I go to dr tomorrow but from what I hear that's is good? I don't understand beta levels or what it means on why it went up so much in 48 hours. Anyone can explain?

Beta level ?

They are supposed to double every 48-72 hrs. ... Mine doubled every 31 hours... If you had the blood drawn at the same time both days your doubling time is 32 hours.

Beta level ?

I'm not an expert but I believe beta levels have a huge range and vary from person to person. What Doctors will be looking for is that they double (or close to, some people won't exactly double). Yours more than doubled so that is very good news. Honestly I think a lot of people compare numbers and that isn't really how it works because everyone is so different. You want your levels of HCG to go up and they did.....that's good and that's all you'll really know for now.

Basically what the PPs said. Beta doubling time in early pregnancy should be about every 48 hours. They will slow down as your pregnancy progresses. My beta tripled in the 48 hours b/w my 1st and 2nd betas. Eventually by around 6-7 weeks your beta time will become 4-6 days. It's all totally normal.

Beta level ?

your numbers are awesome and it confirms a viable pregnancy.
everyone's numbers are different and all that matters is that your numbers either double within 48-72 hours or is at least 60% more than it was at your last beta. i say that because inthe beginning i was so worried because my numbers were not really doubling but they were always about 60% up from what they were at the last beta test. everyone is different so don't worry. eventually, the further along you get, the longer it takes for your beta to double, so by the time you get to 8/9 weeks it will take days for it to do so and then eventually by the end of the first trimester, it tapers off completely and you are not even tested for it anymore. Actually once they confirm a heartbeat, only sonograms are used to confirm and monitor a pregnancy, not bloodwork
