At least my beta doubled! Would you all breath a sigh of relief or hold out for the progesterone results before feeling better?

Yay! That is a good sign!!!

I think thats a good sign. Although tbh, I am very OCD and I would need to get the progesterone back, like NOW!! This is why I have chosen not to make my dr appt until a little later. I know I would obsess and it would do me more harm than good. I am sure everything is fine Beachy, remember....I already told your Beachy Bean that they better behave!!!

Sounds really good hun, especially as you're feeling sick etc too.

So good they do these tests for you, when I had spotting at 8 weeks pregnant with ds1 my GP said 'well, there isn't anything I can do you're probably having a miscarriage just go home and put your feet up'. He refused to arrange a scan even. My dh called my midwife and she talked to me on the phone and said that it was probably nothing and explained how common spotting can be around that time, but she could tell I was a nervous wreck and arranged a scan for me to put my mind at rest. Thankfully all was well, so horrible waiting to find out though so I totally sympathise with you. xx

According to this website: Beta values main chart the average for 23 DPO is 2,463 and mine is over 8,000 so I guess that should make me feel better too!

i bled bright red for 3 months. i figured i had a miscariage and never went in to the doctor to get checked. when i did finally go in there was a perfect little baby measuring 12 weeks waving at me. he's 2 months old now and still naughty!

NC- how are you? Im sure baby is ok with those great beta numbers!

I'm doing good!!!! Thanks for asking! I did have a tiny bit of spotting on Monday after DH and I DTD so nothing to worry about it..it was just a tiny spot and did not come back. My final #s ended up:

21 DPO - Beta:4,794; Progesterone: 11.5
23 DPO - Beta: 8,324; Progesterone unknown
26 DPO - Beta: 19,081, Progesterone: 10.1

The doctor said not to worry about progesterone...seems pretty low to me...but said my beta was the biggest indication that everything is going OK.

Lookin good beachy!

That's awesome! Hope you feel relieved.
