Re: Had my 1st doc visit today to confirm...
i hate pregnancy wheels. they assume the 28 day long, ovulate on day 14 cycle. so they can be so inaccurate.
sounds like you are right on track with your pregnancy given your cycle length.

Thanks for your reassurance! I am a little nervous, but I think that is only natural. I am still feeling the same preggo symptoms (very sore bbs  , fatigue, and occassional light cramping) so I'm sure everything is fine. I'll hear from the Dr. tomorrow and then probably have to go for another blood test....
I hope your 1st appointment goes well!!!

Re: Had my 1st doc visit today to confirm...
I agree those wheels are based on a 28 day cycle....many of us do not have a 28 day cycle, so they are miscalculating the O day & the LMP significance. My cycle is not 28 days & they ended up changing my DD several times once they were able to measure the baby.
Yes, the Beta number is not really significant until the numbers are compared within a few days of eachother, however many doctors may not request another test if the Betas are at the top end of the "normal" range. I would not worry too much since the Beta number is such a vast range in the beginning. I think it is something like 17 to 400...

Re: Had my 1st doc visit today to confirm...UPDATE PG 1

The doc said that my urine PG test came up positive, but it was slow and faint. According to his silly wheel I should be 5W and it should have come up darker and sooner. I told him that I have longer cycles, and that this was a 36 day cycle...he then said that I would be about 4 weeks 1 day so the result would be normal.
To be on the safe side he had me do a blood test- the results will be in tomorrow, but he won't be in until Fri so he will call me then. He said he might have me repeat it to make sure that the numbers are going in the correct direction.
I was a little upset, so when I got home I took another digitial PG test from the 2 pack I had bought and it came up PG right away.....so I'm not really worried anymore.
Anyway, I know a lot of you have your first appts coming up, so I thought that I would post. Stay warm today!!!
ETA on 2/16- My doctor called today and said my beta came back good and high- 526 (test was taken 17DPO). He still wants me to repeat on mon or tues (I have to see if Quest is open on president's day) to make sure they go up appropriately, but he didn't seemed concerned. I feel better now! I'll feel completely better after the re-test.
Your story is perfect evidence that not all pregnancy tests are the same. Dr tests should measure up to 50 miu but obviously yours did not turn as dark even though your number was way above that...Gl those numbers sound GREAT!

I am going for my first appt next week - what does beta mean?
Beta HCG is the pregnancy hormone that they test for. I believe it is supposed to double every few days during the 1st trimester, and then it begins to drop off. If the numbers don't go up very slow or go down it is an indication that something is wrong.

I am so with you on this one. I know my DD is wrong. They calculated from LMP and 28 day cycles.
I ovulated on day 13 and I was on a 26 day cycle.
My last 2 sono show a DD 4 days earlier that the Dr told me.
