BFP and HCG level

Question

OK, so finally get my BFP after 3 rounds of IUI. My beta was taken at 15dpiui it is at 98.8.  The nurse said the number should double by Sunday and increase by 33% by Monday.  My HCG should then be around 262.6 (if I did my math right.)

I am looking for anyone who started out with a low HCG level but went on to a full term pregnancy. 

I realize it is the not the actual first number that matters but what the second number and so forth tells me. 

I had a m/c back in Oct/2010 so I am trying to be very optimistic and enjoying where I am at but I figured it wouldn't hurt to post this. 

Thanks!

Thanks texas!  I feel better knowing that your doctor likes to see the number around 100 on the day you miss your period.

I will try to not have a certain number in my head, too. I am going to enjoy this moment!

Your numbers aren't low.  My doc wants them to be around 100 on the day you miss your period.  

My advice to you is to not have a number in your head.  My 2nd beta didn't quite double (it was 5 points away) and I freaked out all weekend.  The next one tripled.  It's easier said than done...I get my calculator out every time they would call with results.  But - try to not have a "must hit" number in your head!

Thanks for the reassurance!

Actually according to the guidelines the "normal" range for FOUR weeks pregnant (which would be approximately 2 weeks post ovulation for a normal cycle) is 5-426. So for 10dpiui the levels look pretty good to me. For 3 weeks (approx 1 week post ovulation) the level is 5-50.

Well I've always found out very early pregnant & (except for my 1st pregnancy which was a dissapearing twin. So my numbers were high from the start) they all start low like less than 90. But I gave birth to all of them. So I think you're just early. Just wait to see how your numbers double. That is the best indicator. Oh and most importantly.. CONGGGGRATULATIONS !!
