HGC levels - terrified, please give me some advice!

[anythingwithagiraffeonit]

Hi everyone...

Went to hospital last night because of non stop cramps really low down for a few weeks...(maybe this is normal? But I panicked!)

I'm 5 weeks and they came back to me today with a HGC level of 1400....

She then said they'd like me to come back on Monday for a scan to see what my pain might be!?

Is that a very low level?
It was hard to tell if she was being positive or not...

Please could someone give me some advice I'm going crazy here :s

Try not to worry that is within the normal range for 5 weeks. HCG levels can vary dramatically - look at the chart here.

It sounds like your hospital is taking good care of you. Cramping is very common in early pregnancy. However, as I'm sure they have said, if the pain gets worse or you experience bowel problems, light headedness, shoulder pains etc go straight to A&E.

Hope everything goes well for you.

i was told when i was bleeding in early pregnancy tht hormone levels over 500 mean there is a pregnancy...if they were worried they would have wanted 2 repeat the blood test the next day.in my case they doubled again and im now just over 27 wks. try nt 2 worry. good luck. x

As Lubyloo said, you're well within normal limits. This site:
