@stevenpaltermd: The beta #HCG pregnancy hormone level does not need to double every 48 hours for a pregnancy to be viable! That's the old rule. Newer rules show that much lower rates can still be viable; however each time it doesn't double, it raises the risk of an ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage. Always be followed closely don't make a decision based on one level alone. Thanks to @Clare Elisabeth | IVF Journey for sharing her story with me so we could help educate others. Let me know in the comments whether your levels were doubling or not and how long you followed them with your doctor ?
10dpt HCG was 31, 11dpt 41, 13dpt 66. They’re making me wait a week for another HCG now. It’s killing me. 😞 euploid embryo. Fertilization issues- carries 2 previous pregnancies naturally with no issues.

My IVF pregnancy my betas were 101, 132, 87 and I stopped meds that day (Saturday). I did a mod natural transfer, which is important. A couple days later I felt pregnant my IVF clinic said it was just my hormone levels dropping. My OB believed me and put in orders for an HCG on Wednesday it was 875, Thursday I had an ultrasound and I had an embryo in my uterus. We all thought it was ectopic, I’ve had 2 before. Went on to be a normal uncomplicated pregnancy and birth at 39wks.

Maggie(Billie’s version) :
My rise was more than double in two days and I still had an ectopic so I feel like that’s not even an indication at all.

I had a slow rise and a healthy baby. I was told to prepare for a likely early loss but all worked out. It was my fifth pregnancy and I have one baby. I was 56 at 9DPT and then 96 at 11DPT and then 195 at 13DPT and then 666 at 16DPT. They also didn’t see any sac at my first US but did two days later. I’m glad I stayed on my medication and have a baby now.

During my last IVF cycle I had a 13 dpt HCg of 509 and a 15 dpt HCg of 1591 and it still resulted in a 5 week loss. I had almost identical hcg’s during my daughter’s viable pregnancy. I now am in the camp in that HCg is only informative and hope and caution should be held on to with all numbers.

Caro :
Is there any truth to the higher the beta or the faster its doubling, the lower your risk of miscarriage?

These were my HCG levels with low rises and my baby boy is now 8 weeks old! It was beta hell but it can happen. I scoured the internet trying to find someone like me to give me hope.

user9767620512162 :
Yes rose 55% ended up being a dangerous interstitial ectopic. My IVF clinic was fine with that rise, my OB thought it was abnormal so different Drs use different standards too

I’m so sad. I’m currently having a “miscarriage” of a chemical pregnancy. 4AA pgtm euploid. Did this for genetics and have had no seen fertility issues. I just don’t get it. :(

My slow rising HCG ended in an ectopic. Don’t wish the pain of a tube bursting on anyone

I had a PUL that doubled normally for weeks. I only caught it because I was being a testing gremlin at home and noticed a dip between my last beta and first ultrasound. The dip in home tests prompted me to get more betas that eventually became abnormal about 7 weeks in.

During both of my pregnancies, my HCG levels more than doubled, yet I still miscarried. If I get pregnant again, I won't even waste my time with HCG tests; I'll just wait six weeks and then call my doctor to schedule an ultrasound.
