Q: I just got my beta reading. The blookd was taken at 3weeks 6 days. The level is 102. Is that good

I don't know if 102 is a good level for just under 4 weeks. My last pregnancy the embryo never grew a heart and my levels were lower then this one. So I am scared of something going wrong again. Does 102 seems like a good hcg level?

my miscarriage was rare because of how long I carried it. The ultrasound at the end of the month will catch if the same thing happened again because there will be no heart.

I just read that you aren't getting another one done. Hmm. Thats weird. If they took the one, why wouldn't they do a second?! Especially since you've m/c before. I'm doing my tests with my regular Family Dr since my 1st OB appt isn't till Sept. If I was you I try to go somewhere else to get a test, so you at least feel better. Also if you see a Naturopathic Dr they encourage taking blood tests to check your levels. That way if something like your progesterone is low, you can start taking it right away!

That's my 2 cents ;-) Praying both our lil' bean are sticky & healthy!!!!

That number sounds good! At 3 w 6 days I was 32. My doctor said it was on the lower end of normal. So we did another one 2 days later and it was 86. She said its more important that its at least doubling. So she said that was a good #. I go in again this Monday & Wednesday for 2 more draws. Praying my #s keep doubling!

Are you doing another draw?

thanks. I'm sadly not getting another test done. I have an OB appointment in September and an ultrasound at the end of this month.

Everyone is different. You can't look at one set of numbers and decide based on that. You need to see if your numbers are doubling properly (every 48-72 hours). Some women start out really low and have normal pregnancies, and some women start out really high and unfortunately miscarry.
Don't hedge everything on one set of numbers. You will drive yourself crazy. Good luck.
