My 1st beta was drawn at 14dpo and was 221.  You will see a large flucuation in beta counts as every woman and every pregnancy is different.  One beta number isn't really helpful as far as the progress/viability of the PG, you really need to have an every other day draw to be able to see your doubling time.  The website below is also very helpful in comparing beta numbers...

Hope it helps!

The early numbers can vary widely, it's more important to see how the numbers are doubling.  64 sounds fine, see my siggy for my numbers if you want a comparison.

Congrats!

As you can tell, they very in range. As long as its double every 48 hours or so, I would say you are good :) 

Good luck!!

Hi! I had my first beta today. 4 weeks 17dpiui. Beta was 288. Hoping it doubles or more on Friday! My doctor said they like to see over 100 but as long as it keeps doubling every 48 to 72 hours that's all that matters!
