Low Beta

My first Beta was only 84 and they say that I am 4w 5d. Does this number seem really low? I had a IUI done on the 2nd of May and my first beta was taken on the 17 of May. I'm kind of worried I have my second Beta tomorrow. Anyone experience this? Please help.

Guideline to hCG levels during pregnancy:
hCG levels in weeks from LMP (gestational age)* :

3 weeks LMP: 5 - 50 mIU/ml
4 weeks LMP: 5 - 426 mIU/ml
5 weeks LMP: 18 - 7,340 mIU/ml
6 weeks LMP: 1,080 - 56,500 mIU/ml
7 - 8 weeks LMP: 7, 650 - 229,000 mIU/ml
9 - 12 weeks LMP: 25,700 - 288,000 mIU/ml
13 - 16 weeks LMP: 13,300 - 254,000 mIU/ml
17 - 24 weeks LMP: 4,060 - 165,400 mIU/ml
25 - 40 weeks LMP: 3,640 - 117,000 mIU/ml
Non-pregnant females: <5.0 mIU/ml
Postmenopausal females: <9.5 mIU/ml

I think that if your levels at least double then that is a great sign. Are they also checking your progesterone levels?

Levels went from 84 to 228. So it more than doubled.

It has to start somewhere's right?! We all get so hung up on these numbers! The important thing is that it continues to increase! After you get tomorrow's results back then you will have a much better picture!

Try not to stress, you have a whole 9 months to stress....so pace yourself! : )

Good luck tomorrow!
