    Default I gotta ask...

    Should I be concerned because my beta is so high in comparision to everyone elses I've seen? Like over 1000 higher.

    Do twins run in your family? Do you talk to your doc soon?

    No twins that I know of. I have my first visit tomorrow with the OB nurse. Seeing all these numbers just scared me a little again...

    Were you on any type of fertility treatment? It does sound like it could be twins. Or, maybe you are further along than you think.

    This was a great site for me in early pregnancy. They have a database of average, high, and low betas for single, twin, and multiple births. My betas were also high, but I'm having a single birth. It was a huge surprise to me to see exactly how wide the ranges really are in "real life." Hope that helps.

    The nurse actually dated my pregnancy one day less than the calculators I have used online. She said everything looks good and I will be seeing the doctor on Monday. Thanks for the website too. I am heading over there now!

    "What to Expect" says for week 4: 5-426, week 5 is 19-7,340....so you might be perfectly fine with one bean...if that's what you are shooting for?

    Augusta posted the website on betas and it looks at dpo not pregnancy dating. I was right inline on their charts for 17-18dpo. And thank you again, Augusta! It set my mind at ease!
