Stupid Question........

I am trying to figure out if my Beta Levels coincide with what is "normal"

How do I count the DPO. Would I start from the date of the IUI, or the day before when I got a positive OPK? I know I am obsessing a little, but I am seeing such HIGH Beta numbers for others.

Thanks

Re: Stupid Question........

I assume you would be about the same as any other pregnancy. The Dr is just putting the sperm closer to your egg right?(I don't know much about IUI) Maybe minus 1 day? Don't worry so much about the # just the rising of the #

You dont ovulate the day of the positive OPK.

So you would use the day AFTER the iui as one day post O.

Thanks, I am so confused by the whole 40 weeks things...guess it's time for me to get a book, all new territory for me.....I never really got ahead of myself, just focused on getting a + to begin with, LOL.

Re: Stupid Question........

well, since they did the IUI and then 2 weeks later checked your BETA, that counts that you're 4 weeks pregnant (even though you're really 2 weeks).

This early in the pregnancy, from what I understand, they like to see you BETA numbers double every 2 days. But don't worry about that, sometimes it goes really fast and sometimes it needs to catch up.

The 4 weeks preggo, but really only 2 totally confuses me, HAHA

So my number doubled so far 77-193 in two days, so that is good. It's going to be 12 weeks of major nerves, if I make it that far....eeks!I dont go back for another week and a half for more BW and scan.

As dumb as it is, they start counting weeks at the beginning of your CYCLE for the month, not when you ACTUALLY got pregnant. Just remember it that way and you should be smooth sailing.
