Congrats, the importand thing is to go up from now on. Enjoy your pregnancy.

Congrats!!  The number is not as important as the doubling of that number every 48 hours.  Check out http://www.betabase.info/showBasicChart.php?type=Single  it has the range of betas for pregnancies where a heartbeat was detected.

YAY! YAY! YAY!! Congrats!!!

Congratulations! I wouldn't worry too much about the number as long as it continues to rise! Best of luck with your next beta!!!

congrats.....

CONGRATS!!!!
When its your next Beta?
The important thing is that the number will double!

by jenandjon, Mar 17, 2008 09:02AM
As long as your numbers are climbing and hopefully doubling I would say you look good.  I was worried about mine at first too, but several girls on the pregnancy forum had low numbers to start as well.  Sometimes we're off on our O date and just a day or even 1/2 day can make a difference in those numbers.  When is your next beta?

Stick baby stick!!!

OMG - Yay!!! So excited for you - congrats on your BFP!! I'm sure you're numbers will go up from here... I think they sound good so far...

To: everyone!
thank you all so much for the encouraging comments!  my next beta is wednesday and i can barely control myself!  
jenandjon--  what were your #'s?
jen023--has anything happened with you yet?

by jen023, Mar 19, 2008 01:13PM
Still so happy for you!!! No - nothing for me... I had a weird AF... only showed for one day, then a little bit two days later... but my dr said it was probably due to the Clomid and to go ahead with my next cycle... so I'm on my third pill today - hoping to join you in the BFP club soon!!

To: iluvdasies
My numbers were 79 then 172 then 408...all about 48 hrs apart.

I know this wait is killing you...but regardless...look at it this way...anything over 25 means u are definitely pregnant...so whatever happens...know and have the confidence that you can get pregnant.

U might have them check ur progesterone pretty early on as well.  I had a chemical in December and I think it was bcuz my progesterone was low.  This time they gave me progesterone as soon as they got that first # over 25.

I pray and hope those numbers get close to doubling for you.
