HCG levels too high?

Hello- I'm wondering if these numbers are too high?

I had a blood test done when I was 12 DPO (4 weeks pregnant) and the level was 106. I then had it checked 3 days later and it was 444.

I just had them checked this morning (a week later) and it was 13,732. I am 5 weeks and 3 days today and this is out of the higher range for 5 weeks but not by much I guess. Is this because I am a little over 5 weeks or is this too high?

It has been doubling every 36 hours. I had a miscarriage back in January so I'm just really nervous this time.

Can anyone please help me? Were yours this high at 5 week with everything being fine?

Hi there's such a huge range of normal I wouldn't pay much attention to it unless it was super high like over 100k. Mine were just over 17k at 5+1 and then 35k 2 days later! Mine is an ivf pregnancy so I knew exactly how far along I was. I really worried about this too and spent ages googling things but now 26 weeks with my little boy and everything is going fine so far. Congratulations and good luck with everything!

I work in an EPU and there is a wide variety of normal at this gestation OP. Yours seems normal from my experience. When we think of “too high” we are worried about >60-100 thousand which may indicate molar. Your range would not indicate that. Hope that helps!

Hi @sweetdaisy1 just wondered how you're getting on? I'm in a similar boat. HCG levels 19,300 at 19dp5dt (5+3 I think) .. going for an early scan tomorrow. I've had two miscarriages so super nervous, would love to know how things are going for you xx
