HCG Levels QU

bethanno · June 2011

Hi Ladies,

It's good to be back! I had a m/c last spring and surgeries in Dec... I'm nervous and excited to be 4 weeks along Since I am seeing a specialist I get blood work every other day to test my levels (HCG). The first time it came out low b/c I was early on. The second time came out normal and they told me they want to see my levels double every other day. Tuesday they went up 56%, but my doc office said they wanted to be 66%. When I looked online most OB's like 30-50%.

Thoughts???? I'm trying not to be concerned b/c it's technically normal, but I guess it worries me that it's not normal enough for my docs office....

Thanks for any feedback.

Did they happen to give you an exact number for each draw? You can check out betabase.com it's really helpful. Best of luck, and congrats!

Honestly, dont worry about the whole doubling every 48 hours.

I had a mc a few months ago...so I was constantly worried about everything this time around too. My HCG levels were only doubling every 72 hours..So they tested me CONSTANTLY and my little bean is fine So just try to relax, as long as theyre going UP nicely
