Hcg levels

[BLM18]

Hi

Interested in your hcg levels. I had a blood test Monday after bleeding at 5 weeks , low score of 350 ish and today 44hr later it had gone up to 850 ish. These scores are still very low compared to some and doctors have said there is still chance it could be growing in wrong place as scan didn’t know anything ...yet!

From what I've read it's not the number that matters it's the amount it rises by. The number range is so vast. All they're interested in is that your levels are doubling and rising the expected amount which it sounds as though yours have as they have more than doubled. Good luck

I also had early bleeding- mine were 97 at 4+4 and 254 at 4+6. The doctor wasn’t especially positive at my first reading (urine test even came back negative) but I’m now 15 weeks and all fine.

I know it’s really hard, but try not to stress. They told me nothing would show on a scan until levels were over 1000, and that as long as they at least double over 48 hours, it’s a good sign.

Obviously, there’s such a huge difference in numbers in the early stages and if you ovulated late, you could be earlier than 5 weeks in reality.

I had early scans and blood tests in this pregnancy as I was high risk.

My hcg levels were deemed low and weren't doubling at one stage. Then suddenly a few days later they started to go through the roof. One early scan (perhaps 6 or 7 weeks) didn't show a heartbeat at all and we were primed to expect the worst. Then at the 8 or 9 weeks scan we had a heart beat.

I'm now getting on for 26wks pregnant.

Sometimes our bodies don't exactly follow the 'rules' and very early scans and tests can be misleading! I hope all is well for you and your baby.
