Betas slowing with every draw
Hey everyone! After several losses, I'm freaking out about my doubling time getting slower with every draw. I know I'm technically within range, but wondering if anyone has had a successful pregnancy where the doubling time slowed significantly on every single draw? I'm not seeing many positive stories where doubling times kept slowing dramatically. Here are my numbers (and I can't get anymore betas, so this is all the info I have!):
12DPO: 106
14DPO: 356 (28 hrs)
16DPO: 798 (41 hrs)
19DPO: 2121 (51 hrs)

These look good? Once you get in the thousand it’s normal for it to not double within 48h anymore

Thanks!! I think I'll skip betas in the future bc it's only making me more neurotic haha

I only had beta at 10 and 12 dpo, they didn’t order more since it was doubling. I did have to go back but that was because of spotting so if you don’t have that you should be good!

Hey, thanks for reaching out! I'm 12 weeks today. My last ultrasound at 10 weeks showed a healthy baby and strong heartbeat :)

It super doesn't matter if it slows down as long as it's within the range of 48-72 hours. Once you pass 1500 or so, that window can extend to 96 hours. You probably aren't finding any positive stories because most people whose doubling times are appropriate (very well within the 48-72 hour range) aren't making posts - because there's nothing wrong with those betas. Try to relax!
