So I got my BFP 15dp5dt confirmed through a Beta test, Value 260, I was hoping for a higher value. 72 hours later I retested and got 472. The values have not double in 72 hours. Should I be worried?My Dr says the values going up is a good sign, but they should be doubling. I'm worried sick😫

Congratulations, Stacia! Mine didn’t doubled when I was pregnant with my daughter and it was fine, I had similar numbers. Wishing you an easy pregnancy XX

I had the same thing happen and was a nervous wreck. My doctor said some are just slow starting off. All was fine. Wishing you the best!!

my non doubling beta is 2 and half and playing in front of me right now. I know it’s scary but hope on to how and stay positive

Thank you. I have decided not to do another test. I'll continue with my meds and wait for scan

I had a recent prolonged PUL miscarriage and had 48hrly beta tests for nearly 4 weeks, they look for minimum 60% increase to track healthy pregnancies, less than 60% rise is when they may be concerned.

Congratulations on your BFP 💕

I'm so sorry about the miscarriage. I never knew anything about PUL miscarriage. Was this from a natural pregnancy or IVF

After 17 years of infertility and 2 failed embryo transfers (one fresh, 1 frozen and 2 cancelled cycles) it was a spontaneous natural pregnancy (I've just turned 40 on new years day and never had a BFP before this which was in October 2022 at approx 6 weeks, and went on til almost the end of Nov til Beta returned to 0). I'm in my last cycle for FET at the moment, with my last embaby 🤞🤞

I had slow doubling and low betas and my little boy is 10 months. It was the most excruciating wait, I stopped doing pregnancy tests then did three blood tests decided to stop and then held my breath for the viability scan. Do what you can to try to keep your mind busy and good luck - you are pregnant! x.

Thank you Llizzie. The only thing to do is wait, just when I was glad the 2ww is over and my BFP is here. The worrying never ends.All your stories are getting me through each day, xx
