I went on 13DPO or 3wks6days and got my Hcg levels checked. The results came back at 39 and progesterone came back at 36.5. So I am going back to make sure it is doubling on Monday. I'm just so excited.

    Congratulations! I've just gone through this process a week before you. Its nerve racking. What they are looking for is that the numbers are doubling. Best wishes on your next test. Then if followed by a RE you will likely have a ultrasound in 2 wks or around 6wks.

    I went through my Obgyn and these betas I did through a lab for my own piece of mind. I see him on June 20th for my blood work to prove pregnancy and then he will schedule an ultrasound around 10 weeks.

    That's a decent number for 13 dpo. Some doctors like to see 50+ at 14 dpo, so you're right on track assuming you have a good doubling time.

    Also, the progesterone is very good. My RE's lab only proceessed up to 40, after which my level was simply listed as 40+.

    second beta results from yesterday. Went up from 39 at 13dpo to 158 at 16dpo. So it's a 35.66hr or 1.5day doubling time. I'm so relieved.

    I did a third draw and it went from 158 on Monday 16DPO to 388 Friday 20DPO. It's around a 74 hour doubling time now.
