Hi!Just found site today and have q.My od was 2/26, on 3/12(14days pod) beta hcg level=71, on 3/14 beta hcg level=171 and then on 3/17=475.  I have had 2 miscarriages yrs ago and 3 yrs of infertilty tx. Well, i'm very nervous!! dr's are checking hcg on 3/24..u/s sch for 4/5..are these #'s appropriate? thanks!

Usually hcg levels double every 48 hours and that is why they keep having you back for more. With your history of miscarriage history I would say they are just keeping an eye on your levels. That is mainly how they can tell if its going to be a viable or non viable pregnancy. Good luck and I wish you success!!!!!

Thanks for responding...on 3/24 my hcg level was 6,433!! i was very excited!  I'm now scheduled for an u/s on 4/7 and still very nervous.  My only signs of pregnancy is swollen breasts and maybe a little tried.  However, i am also on prgestrone and these are s/e of the medication. It's going to be a long wait! I had a blighted ovum a year ago and thought every thing was fine until we did the u/s.... Well,  must think postive...right???
   Again, thanks!!
