Hi ladies! I am so excited to be a July 2014 mama . I had a MC back in August at exactly 5 weeks. Tuesday 10/29 marked 5 weeks for my rainbow baby and it came and went without incident. I had my first dr. appt yesterday and they did a urine test, pelvic exam, and blood work. When I called today, the dr had great news: hcg was at 16,834 and my progesterone was at 57.21! I am thrilled, but when I started researching, the levels seem really high- particularly my hcg. See below:
5 weeks LMP: 18 – 7,340 mIU/ml
6 weeks LMP: 1,080 – 56,500 mIU/ml
7 – 8 weeks LMP: 7, 650 – 229,000 mIU/ml
Has anyone else experienced numbers like mine so early in a pregnancy? My last period was 9/24 so I am pretty sure I dated it correctly. Could it be twins or am I just reading into things?
Sounds high to me, I was 1290 and I just hit 6 weeks today (though I probably O'd a week late, methinks). Are they doing a repeat? Twins could be awesome! :-)

Thanks so much for the replies! I am going back for another blood draw on Monday so I will keep you posted. The dr just said that it is a healthy pregnancy so far and is not planning on doing an ultrasound until my 11/18 appt. really hoping that this one sticks! Will keep you posted
Re: does 16,834 hcg at 5 weeks sound high?
I think it's high, but everyone is different.
