Hcg levels 34,000 at 5weeks 4days

jackieanddan1989

Hi everyone, I just got my lab results back from last weeks blood draw (finally!), at which time I was 5 weeks 4 days, going off my last menstrual and assuming I ovulated on day 14 of my cycle. Results came back 34,000. At first I was just relieved that they weren't low, but now I am starting to worry again (as I always do) isn't this way high for 5 weeks? The range I saw online was like 18-7,000. It's possible I could be a few days off in my estimation of how far along I am, but I don't think more than a few days. at most I was 6 weeks on the dot. Possibility for twins or molar pregnancy? What were your levels and 5 and a half to 6 weeks? Thanks, just can't seem to stop obsessing and worrying about everything!

I would call your doctor and ask.

Up to 56,000 is normal at 6 weeks.

PS - Stop Googling, it is not your friend if you have pregnancy anxiety

Haha, you're absolutely right about consulting Dr. Google, not good for the anxiety! I should know better by now! I guess I won't know anything for sure until my ultrasound at 9 weeks...the wait is difficult!

Giiiiirl you gonna have TRIPLETS. 

I'm jk, I have no idea, but if I were you-- I'd get that ultrasound at 7 weeks and put my mind to rest.

Lol please no triplets!! I would love to go earlier, unfortunately they don't seem willing to see me earlier unless there's a specific problem..? I guess every OB office is different cause I know some offices will do them earlier.

If there was a concern I am sure your OB would notify you. Seems high for 5 weeks tho. maybe you are further along then you thought or you could have a chance of multiples. Good Luck!

Do you have an update yet? My 5w6d was 21,250 and I'm thinking that's on the high side. Mine have been consistently almost tripling (just under a full triple usually). I did IVF and we transferred 2 embryos so I'm hoping for twins!

My HCG at 5 weeks was 85,000. Doctors never said anything about it though. I only saw one during my ultrasound, unless the other was hiding hehe

@jmhansen11- I haven't had an update yet. Since this is my first pregnancies (no previous losses) they didn't do repeat draws to track if it was doubling. I have my first ultrasound this coming Thursday at the 9 week mark so we will hopefully see then! I'm thinking it's possible I just  ovulated on day 11 or 12 instead of day 14, which would have put me closer to week 6 at the time they did the blood draw, and would explain the higher number. 

Multiples don't run in my family and I wasn't on any fertility treatments so I am hoping that makes me low risk for them. Due to my septate uterus, twins would actually be really dangerous and make it even *less* likely that the pregnancy would make it to viability  So I have good reason to hope against it. Buttt if it turns out to be multiples I will definitely be posting about it....as soon as I am done having a heart attack!

Everyone is different!! I swear I am 7 weeks and my lab results as of yesterday showed only 14600. But I've been dealing with bleeding so I had an ultrasound last week and doc thought I was only 5 weeks. So again everyone was different. I wouldn't worry. Harder said than done!

I agree. Everyone is different. I wouldn't worry. According to americanpregnancy.org,
Normal levels vary greatly. Here are the ranges for weeks five and six:

5 weeks LMP: 18 – 7,340 mIU/ml
6 weeks LMP: 1,080 – 56,500 mIU/ml

Your level is in between them. Relax.
Hcg is looking good to me.
