What do my HCG levels mean?

[trrk]

I'm currently 6w3d and had bleeding (with fresh red blood) for a few hours last weekend and quite a lot of cramping all last week and was convinced I'm having a miscarriage. I got my HCG levels checked and it was 40000 then 53000 after 48 hours and am just wondering what these levels mean? It seems high but not close to doubling. Has anyone had similar and gone on to have a successful pregnancy? I have a scan in 5 days but the anxiety of not knowing is killing me and making it hard to sleep or concentrate on anything.

Oh bless you. Yes had a similar experience. Unfortunately the scan showed a miscarriage and I had an ERCP the next day. 8 weeks later I was informed it's a possible molar pregnancy, awaiting confirmation from charring cross. A molar is pretty rare though. Honestly I read lots of mixed threads, some worked out ok and some sadly didn't. I know the wait is the worst, I hope you have a positive outcome xxx

Hi @trrk to reassure you, I had bleeding at 5 weeks, hcg showed 19,000. Tested two days later hcg showed only 20,000.

I'm now 9 weeks and baby is fine. Bleeding was due to Hematoma and hcg levels weren't explained to me really.

Thanks both for the replies. I'm so sorry for your loss Robgem81.

I became quite worried about a molar pregnancy after googling high HCG levels even though I know I shouldn't worry about somehing thats so rare. Just keeping my fingers crossed for the scan tomorrow and trying to stay away from google.

Google is a nightmare! I hope it goes well for you. Keep us posted x

Well it is good news for now as they saw a heartbeat and everything looked normal for the expected stage. I still have to go back for another scan next week as they couldn't see everything clearly but fingers crossed. Thanks both for your support!
