HCG levels

I went to the doctor last week after I had a positive HPT.  They did some bloodwork and just sent me my results.  All it says is I am pregnant and my HCG level the day i took the test (13 dpo) was 111.  Is that normal?  I'm presuming it is or the doctor would have said something.  I'm a little paranoid.

    There is a very wide range of what is normal for hcg levels at any given point in pregnancy.  111 at 13dpo would be considered within the normal range.

    However, one hcg level doesn't really mean anything.  Hcg should double every 48 hours so you really need multiple tests to know if things are progressing how they should.

    If you're a low-risk patient with no history of issues many doctors won't do multiple hcg tests.

    Kelly, Mom to Christopher Shannon 9.27.06, Catherine Quinn 2.24.09, Trey Barton lost on 12.28.09, Therese Barton lost on 6.10.10, Joseph Sullivan 7.23.11, and our latest, Victoria Maren 11.15.12

    Secondary infertility success with IVF, then two losses, one at 14 weeks and one at 10 weeks, then success with IUI and then just pure, crazy luck.  Expecting our fifth in May as the result of a FET.

    That number is totally normal. My RE looks for 70+ at 14dpo.

    What will matter now is the doubling time.


    BFP #1 via IUI ~ L (Fatal Birth Defect) 4/7/10
    BFP #2 via IUI ~ m/c
    BFP #3 via cancelled IUI ~ C (2lb 3oz; HELLP) 5/16/11
    BFP #4 via the natural (free!) way ~ E (8lb 11oz) 9/13/12

    This... your resluts just show that you have HCG in the normal range in your blood.
