    I'm almost 4 weeks... My hcg is at 56 as of yesterday. Yours?

    It's pointless to compare HCG levels as they vary widely from woman to woman. You'll only end up disappointed if they aren't as high as someone else's, and that really means nothing. As long as you are doubling every 48 hours (or close to it) and your doctor is happy with your levels then you have nothing to worry about.

    I think most doctors do it but don't tell the mother the levels unless they are concerned. I don't know anyone who hasn't had it done.

    Blood levels are not an accurate tracker because they vary so widely!! I don't know how far along I am yet, I find out tomorrow! But when I got my hcg bloodwork I was at 107,000. I think that's a positive! Haha.

    My doctor does not test hcg levels unless there is a medical need. I never had mine tested.

    Like everyone else posting it does not matter what your numbers are at one draw, as long as they're doubling every 24-48 hours.

    As for the person saying they don't know anyone who hasn't had hcg drawn, my doctor doesn't draw hcg either unless there's a problem. I didn't have mine drawn with this pregnancy or my last.
