Hi all.
I ovulated late and I'm only around 3 weeksish.
I found out I was pregnant on Friday afternoon. It was very very very faint though .
They seemed to get darker then went through a stage of the tests getting lighter and then darker again. Due to some pain I had my bloods taken yesturday (tuesday) and my HCG results came back as 27. Which seemed amazingly low to me as my clearblue digital showed 1-2 weeks on Sunday afternoon .
I've attached a photo of today's tests. Do these seem good please for the hcg and Do you think it's gone up? Thanks guys .

Hi - the only way to tell properly is to have your hCG taken again, and compare it to the last level.
Although 27 sounds low, don't forget that it has to start somewhere, and the levels of hCG in a pregnant woman's blood vary enormously.

It's the rate at which it goes up which is important. Have you got an appointment to get it checked again?

FWIW the lines on your tests look fine to me. I hope you get a good outcome - early pregnancy is such a minefield.

Here's a table of expected values:

Sorry - I'll try and paste that again:

The expected HCG ranges in pregnant women are based on the length of the pregnancy.

  • 3 weeks: 5 - 72 mIU/mL.
  • 4 weeks: 10 -708 mIU/mL.
  • 5 weeks: 217 - 8,245 mIU/mL.
  • 6 weeks: 152 - 32,177 mIU/mL.
  • 7 weeks: 4,059 - 153,767 mIU/mL.
  • 8 weeks: 31,366 - 149,094 mIU/mL.
  • 9 weeks: 59,109 - 135,901 mIU/mL.
  • 10 weeks: 44,186 - 170,409 mIU/mL.

Thank you so much . I'm so so worried. Its just the fact that the digital showed 1-2 weeks on Sunday afternoon but only 27 on Tuesday then a batch of lighter tests then all of a sudden all of them darker ones today in the pic.

3 weeks: 5 - 72

Yours was 27, so completely normal. The rate at which is increases is what matters, not the actual figure.

Lines on tests can be difficult to judge, especially early on.

In fact you're still within the normal range for 4 weeks.

Mummyto52023 · 24/05/2023 16:21

I know that I ovulated early which would make me around 12dpo or 3 weekish. I'm just so scared the levels are decreasing

Would you guys say this is a good line for hcg that is now over 27? Do you recon its gone higher ?

All your test lines look fine.
It isn't possible to tell what your hCG is from test lines.
I'm rooting for you!
