quantitative test results

Knottie04258200

I had some bleeding over the weekend so I went in for a quantitative lab draw. According to my last mental period I should be 5w5d. She called with the results. They were 7753! She said according to these numbers I'm 6w4d. Im a little cofused to what this all means. My ultrasound isnt until next week. Does anyone have any insights?

It's just your HCG levels, and they are not really a good indication of how far along you are. They can be very different in different people. I was at over 9000 at 6 weeks.
Sounds like you have good high numbers though, so that's a good thing!

I am 5w2d and got levels done on Monday. They called yesterday and mine are over 14,000. I think it's diff for everybody, and as long as its steadily going up, you're good!!!

Provided my hCG keeos doubling as it was, I would be over 16,000 today (5w5d). The range is so huge for each week and there's tons of overlap early on between the ranges, I wouldn't be overly concerned. Ultrasound dating is much more reliable than using betas.

Don't count your chickens! I had a HCG of 8490 at 4w4d and 13185 at 4w6d. Doc thought multiples or possible molar...at 6w5d I had a U/S and confirmed only one healthy baby with a HB of 147. It baffled my doc so far, but it just goes to prove that every woman is different. Try not to stress, that doesn't do any good for you or baby!

Yeah, no way does that mean 6 1/2 weeks... There's a very broad range for hcg levels. Heck I was 14,000 at 5 + 1 - it's really not supposed to be used for anything other than making sure your levels double properly.

Also, it's possible you ovulate earlier than CD14 and that's accounting for your higher numbers. Unless you were temping and charting, you really don't know when you ovulated. Did they do an u/s?

Yep, I was temping and charting.... Definitely ovulated on the 1st. I don't have an ultrasound until November 13!
