Confused and Waiting: Beta and Pregnancy Testing Explained

Hello everyone,
I’ve been feeling a mix of emotions lately as I wait for my beta and pregnancy test results. The uncertainty and anticipation can be overwhelming, and I’m sure many of you can relate. I’m curious to hear about your experiences and any questions or insights you have regarding beta testing and pregnancy tests. Let’s support each other through this waiting period and share our stories. Can’t wait to hear from you all!

It has been 8 days since the transfer of twins using a donor egg, with no more embryos or money left. Is there a possibility for the positive test result to be false? My husband and I agreed to try only once and my beta is on Monday. Feeling exhausted, hungry all the time, and experiencing mood swings. Hoping that this pregnancy is real.

Public service announcement about First Response Early Result tests. I believe I received two faulty batches. Here is my comparison of progressions with FRER and cheaper tests, using the same urine each day. Beta at 8 days past 5-day transfer was 94.

Today is 9 days past transfer and I’m feeling unsure about my progress. I had my embryo transferred on June 7th. My first beta test is tomorrow and I’m hoping for the best. Is it normal to see similar or slightly lighter tests from 7 to 9 days post transfer? Thank you for your support.

Just had my first beta test at 14DPT, and my HCG levels were 1002. I’m not sure what the expected range is at this timeframe, but my clinic is pleased with the results. I’m feeling optimistic for now despite knowing that I’ll have to wait 48 hours for the next beta test to feel true relief.

Today, I received my beta results 11 days past a 5-day transfer, with my numbers at 203. My doctor just called me with congratulations and is very hopeful! It has been a challenging journey with a laparoscopy, fibroid removal procedures, and two canceled cycles. This was my first transfer with twins - so please don’t refer to them as just a lump of cells. I am eagerly awaiting my ultrasound and second beta results next Wednesday. Despite the wait, I am happy today and still testing at home. The photo attached is from this evening, showing the pregnant line first, then the control line. I also had acupuncture to help with my anxiety. At 45 years old with my 50-year-old husband, we used donor eggs due to my age. There is no more time or money if this cycle fails, but I have faith. Blessings to us all!

I completed my first round of betas today and I’m amazed to see the progress! Feeling a mix of excitement and nerves, now just waiting for the 6w ultrasound.

I tested for the first time this morning at 8 days post 5 day transfer. I’m concerned about how faint the result was. My beta is scheduled for tomorrow morning. I used a FRER and Clear Blue digital test.

My FET was on June 5th and I took a HPT on Father’s Day which came out positive. I was cautiously optimistic until my beta test yesterday, which showed a level of 1127. I’m shocked and excited, but also nervous. Another beta test is scheduled for tomorrow, let’s see what happens in 48 hours.

Seeking advice: After multiple chemical pregnancies and a challenging fertility journey, I have reached 6 weeks on a medicated protocol. My beta levels are good, but I still feel anxious about the possibility of an ectopic pregnancy. I am looking for support on how to handle this fear.

I am feeling extremely anxious while waiting for the clinic to contact me with the beta results. I have experienced two previous losses in the first and second trimesters, and do not have a living child. I am hopeful and eager for a successful outcome this time.

The clinic notified me of my beta results at 9dpt, which was 103. The nurse mentioned they hoped for around 100, making me happy initially. However, reading other posts has made me concerned it might be too low. I am hoping and praying for a doubling in my next beta in two days.

I just received my second beta results and they have significantly increased from 379 to 1039 in just 48 hours. Feeling hopeful but also anxious about having so much information at such an early stage. Currently 4 weeks and 2 days pregnant.

I have been testing positive since 4 days past a 5-day transfer. The image above shows a test taken this morning at 8 days past a 5-day transfer. I am planning to get a blood test tomorrow because I am worried about whether my HCG levels are high enough. The emotional ups and downs of this process are intense.

Here is my line progression from 4dpt to 8dpt, feeling hopeful for my beta test tomorrow! :crossed_fingers:

Has anyone tried the beta test on day 16 post a 5-day frozen embryo transfer? What was your result?

I received my first beta result at 11dp5dt, with a number of 203. My levels increased to 590 after 48 hours, but my estradiol was 191 and progesterone was 18.2. My clinic advised me to increase my doses of PIO and estradiol. Waiting for the ultrasound feels unbearable. I transferred twins and I am filled with fear as a 45-year-old with only 2 embryos from a donor. I will have another blood test on Saturday. Has anyone experienced a miscarriage despite having good numbers initially? Can ectopic pregnancies also present with good numbers? My only symptoms are feeling sleepy after the progesterone shot and having a hard belly at times. I had bariatric surgery and other procedures in the past. I lack sensitivity in my breasts. Share your experiences with me, I am all ears.
