2nd Beta Day

I had my second beta drawn at 7:45 this morning.
I wonder how long it will take for them to get the results.
Do you think they will send it off somewhere to be read?
Do you think I will get my results today?
How exactly is the test done?
Please let it be a nice strong number.

You got them same-day last week, right? I'm betting you get them this afternoon. I am cheering you (and your hCG) on SO HARD!

In my experience, I always got the beta number the same day the blood was taken, usually within three or four hours. I don't know the process, but I know that they had a machine that did it, because the quantitative results were limited to 5,000... After that number, it was just "above 5,000".
Can't wait to hear! Good luck!

Thinking of you guys today. I only ever had one beta done and they called me the next day.

It depends on the lab, but I think they do them in-house and you should get them back the same day. At least that's how my hospital worked. I would wait about 3-4 hours after the blood was taken and then call to see if the results are in. Since that was 7:45am, you should call them now. :-) I have no idea how the test is done, though, but I have my fingers crossed a lot for you!!
