Beta #1 = 31!

[Shannon214]

Now I really get to intro here, although I am incredibly anxious for that # to double. :) I'm Shannon - My EDD based on charting is February 5, 2013. I'm only 11dpo today so the nurse said that's a GREAT beta number... with my history, they look for me to be over 30 by 14dpo, so already being there at 11dpo is great. My progesterone was a bit on the low side at 10.5 (they want it above 10) so I will continue compounded progesterone suppositories 2x a day. My redraw is Tuesday because the lab is closed Monday for Memorial Day.

:wub:

Congrats...that is so exciting! I can't wait to hear your next numbers!

[DarkandtheWild]

[Shannon214]

thanks :) here are my tests from tonight.. FMU doesn't like me and HPTs because my morning FRER was a bit lighter - freaked me out!

That is ****ing awesome! Oops, I mean that is darned awesome! :laugh:

That's a great beta!!! What a great start! Remember, with the Progesterone levels, the supps don't reflect as much in the blood level as the PIO would, since they are locally absorbed (and not systemic like the PIO). I can't wait to see those betas rising!

[ClarisseMarie]

Remember, dye levels can vary among tests, even within the same brand! I took my last test this morning (my first was Friday and I took one yesterday) and my line today was no darker than yesterday, but the urine line was lighter too, so I know it is either due to the dye differences or because I used a different method...yesterday I did the pee in a cup thing. Also there are lots of reasons your urine could be less concentrated! :)

[ClarisseMarie]

I just realized I think I misunderstood your post haha. those tests look great!

[pumpkinpeejays]

Great beta! Can't wait to hear Tuesday's! :cheer:

[Songbird_kay]

great starting number! Are you still wanting to do PIO? Did you ask your RE about it?

[haydensmom]

What a great number! My beta with this pregnancy was 40mIU at 11dpo and that was later in the afternoon! SO excited for you! This is IT IT IT IT IT IT!!!!!!!!

[Shannon214]

I did ask, they want to see what the progesterone level comes back at on 14dpo. I told her I was concerned about the level being just right where they want it - and that if it still stays low, I'd like to revisit using PIO.
She was happy it was above 10 on my own, I'm just not sure how we'll measure if we're going to use PIO or not since the suppositories don't show up in the bloodwork. Maybe thinking that it should go above 10 with the CL cyst producing more and if it doesn't go up enough to where suppositories will do the trick, we'll add in PIO.

Thank you so so much everyone... I really hope i get to stay here!

Beta #3 is tomorrow and #4 is Saturday.. I'll have them done every 2 days until they hit 1500-2000 and then I have my first ultrasound!

This is tonight's Wondfo so I am hoping for a result higher than 200..
