Questions & Answers

Hi dear,
Congratulations! It is completely normal to be worried about your HCG levels. But i assure you it is nothing to be worried about, as you will soon know how! According to the statistics on an average women, it is said that the HCG levels are highest during the 2bd and 3rd months. You don't have to worry, your level are perfectly alright! If you have any further trouble, you must contact your gynaecologist. As i see you are very concerner, i would suggest you to stay very attentive, and aware of your health and body. If anything other than usual haooens, contact your gp, as soon as possible!

I've never had an ivf transfer, but my betas are generally always low. This is the first pregnancy where they've been high (we checked for twins - they were through the roof!). Low betas don't really mean anything. The most important question is whether they're doubling every 2-3 days. If they're doing that consistently, then you really shouldn't worry. This website http://www.betabase.info/ gives some good info on the range that betas can run (it's pretty huge). This one http://www.perinatology.com/calculators/betahCG.htm has a doubling calculator so you'll be able to see just how quickly your numbers are doubling, and whether they're on track or not. I assume by this point you've had a second blood draw. Plug in your numbers and see where you stand. Good luck and congratulations!
