HCG and Progesterone levels at 4 weeks 5 days

Hello,

I am in an unusual position in that I'm in a country where I'm still getting registered to the health system so I thought, until then, I could at least get HCG and Progesterone measured privately to see everything was OK. I didn't realise I'd end up with numbers but no interpretation for them!

The clinic sent me the results but no interpretation. at 4 weeks and 5 days mine was:

HCG: 134,4
Progesteron: 45,42

Those were taken at the clinic on Friday and I'll go back to a clinic today to get another HCG to see if the levels are rising.

Can I ask if this looks OK to you based on your own experience? And if I'm right in thinking my HCG levels for today's test - at 5 weeks exactly - should be at least 268?

Thank you for any insight you can offer...I waited so long to get pregnant - I never knew it would be terrifying!

Answering my own question here in case anyone else in the in same boat trying to work out if HCG numbers are OK.

I found this really helpful guide to where HCG numbers should be at any given week of pregnancy (as you'll see they vary widely and my understanding is that as long as they are doubling - some say even over 66%) then the number isn't as important.

And if, like me, you weren't able to get your tests done 48/72 hours apart then this calculator goes by dates and will tell you what your 2-day increase is.

Mine increased 177% on average every 2 days and while I take don't take anything for granted, my god, I am happy today and enjoying a brief respite from anxiety!
