Wait and see if it doubles then if so that is a great sign. However, I still have trigger in my system at 11 dpo...it showed on urine tests :( hope that isn't the case. Good luck :)
Thanks for your response. I am sorry for your losses...I had a loss myself too... My friend and I are waiting to see what the number will be today. I hope that it is good for her....The number just seemed so low, so I am concerned...
babysomeday, thank you...I hope that it is not the trigger for her. For me, the trigger always leaves the system by 6 DPO but everyone is different I guess. Thanks for your input...
Well, the numbers have to start somewhere. Was she getting an hcg trigger shot, too? If so the 5 could be hcg from the shot and not the beginning of a pg. If it goes up that is a positive sign for pg. Most labs will tell you negative on beta if under 20 or 25. If next beta is a 10 or higher is a very good sign :) For the first day or 2 of pg, 5 is not a bad #.
Hi there, thanks for your answer...Yes she did the trigger shot...she was at 11DPIUI when her level was 5. I was just concerned that the number was very low...but of course it's the doubling that counts. She tested out her trigger so we don't think this is from the trigger. I guess we have to just wait and see how it goes... Thanks for your answer...
On 12DPO , my hcg was 6 and then 14 Dpo it was 12, unfortunately it didn't stick. Anything over 5 is considered pregnant.
Another time when I was pregnant (last Oct), my HCG was 250 on 17DPO. Althought that pregnancy didn't stick either , that was a better HCG level.
However, like Tina said, it's got to start somewhere. Good luck !
My friend just called. her numbers went up to 13 at 13 DPO!!! They more than doubled!
ya :) that is GREAT news :) I am so happy it wasn't trigger. I had an issue with that last cycle. The first cycle I did trigger, I did a test at 4 DPO and it was out of my system...well this last cycle I kept showing a line so I was getting my hopes up, then beta showed BFN. I am so happy for your friend :) I hope she has a happy and healthy 9 months :)
also, what DPO is she today?
Oh thanks! She is 13 DPO and her beta today was a 13!
That has to be a good sign :)
hi. i'm new at this. i am going through ivf. my hcg level at day 13 showed at 9 but then showed at 13 at day 15, which i was told by the ivf nurse that it may not be a good sign. she told me to come back on day 17. i am feeling hopeless at this point but i am still going to go because i have so much faith in God to help with this. i just wanted to share this thought with you. thanks for your information on these hcg levels. sometimes its better to hear from a person who is in the same shoes.
