1st Trimester

HCG lvl 87 at 4 wks 5 days

I'm roughly 4 days late. I'm not 100% sure when my last lmp was. I took a digital hpt and it came out positive. I had bloodwork done on wensday. my doctor said it was 87 which may be just a very early pregnancy. this number seems really low to me. she is sending me to get more bloodwork on Friday to test again. I won't know the results until Monday. I'm really worried because the number seems very low. Any one else experience numbers like this?

  • My friend is about 5 weeks prego and her hcg is 91. Her doc said it should be around 1000, but I just read your number doesn't really matter it just matters that it doubles in 72 hours.

  • The levels drastically increase in early pregnancy. As the pp said, they double every 48 hours until they hit 6,000 . . . then it takes 3-4 days to double.

    Hcg levels vary widely, but the acceptable range for 4 weeks is 5-426, 5 weeks is 18-7,340 . . . as you can see there are drastic differences for each pregnancy.

    HPTs detect anything above 25 for the really sensitive ones and 50 for the non-sensitive ones. I had a gf that didn't get a BFP until she was 7.5 weeks pregnant . . . she has a healthy 15 month little girl.

    I think you are just fine.

  • Thank you for the encouragement. We had been trying for almost a year and this is our first. Just praying all goes well.

  • Take a look at betabase.info, there's a ton of great information about hcg levels there. HTH!

  • I was 85 after the first one when I was 4w6d.  It can start low, just as long as it doubles every 48 hours, you are good!

  • I seem to have low betas with all of my pregnancies. This is my third and I wrote down my numbers for my previous 2.

    I had a blood test on Friday and I must of ovulated really late, but I am assuming I was only 11 PO. It was only 25

    At 4 weeks it was 80

    At 4 weeks 4 days 280.

    They are increasing, but I don't have crazy high numbers like others. It is all normal though.
