I've done three fresh IVFs and one FET in France (I'm French), all negative, and also had two spontaneaous pregnancy (sadly, miscarried twice).<BR/><BR/>I've never heard of a fractional HCG either and I'm also inclined to think that it's a language issue, since HCG is expressed in standard units, everything under five meaning no pregnancy.<BR/><BR/>Since the lab seems to think the number is ambiguous, I would guess that what they were saying was really 59 (without the point). Some labs, especially when they deal with spontaneous pregnancies as well as IVF, don't like such "low" levels : most of the time, women come in for bloodwork well after their missed period, i.e. more than 15 days after the conception, and are expected to have betas well over 100.<BR/><BR/>If I counted right, you had day 6 blastocysts transferred on march 2, with would mean that you're at day 13 post fertilisation today.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.betabase.info/showBasicChart.php?type=Single" REL="nofollow">The betabase site</A> gives a median beta of 62 for that day and <A HREF="http://www.aly-abbara.com/echographie/biometrie/hCG_grossesse_tableau.html" REL="nofollow">another (French) site</A> an average of 50 with lowest normal possible at 10.<BR/><BR/>It would look like you're well within the normal values for a singleton pregnancy. Of course, what matters now is the doubling time. If you're around 120 in two days, everything's good!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338809524263531192.post-5068691070568598212009-03-09T11:51:00.000-07:002009-03-09T11:51:00.000-07:00Ef the effing effers!

I do know though, that I have had 2 friends be told they were NOT preggers early on, and ended up with babies in the allotted gestation period, so who knows?OHNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03856294075428012923noreply@blogger.com
