Low hcg levels

I just found out I was pregnant. I have to be between 4-5 weeks. I had blood work done yesterday and it came back at 89 which seems low. I'm going in tomorrow for more labs to see if it increases. Had anyone else had low hcg levels and went on to a healthy pregnancy? I'm a nervous wreck.

Re: Low hcg levels

  • That isn't low for 4 weeks. All babies start out at zero :) the most important thing is doubling

  • It's not about one number, it's about the progression.

    Mine was 89 at 4+3 and a week later was 727.
  • Also for any posts related to medical questions or results from doctor, we have a whole thread just for that. That way you can not only get your question answered but you'll also see everyone else's experience. :)
  • Thank you all. Sorry I did see that and posted there as well! But I really appreciate the responses. Makes me feel a little better!
  • My beta was 37 at exactly 4 weeks. I increased to 131 two days later and was at 2800 one week after that. I heard our baby's heartbeat a few days ago at my seven week ultrasound. I know it's hard not to worry when your numbers are lower than other women's numbers, but it truly is about the doubling.
  • Mine was waaaay low at 4 weeks with DS. I don't remember what it was but the nurse said "your HCG is extremely low. It's very early and a lot can happen". little man is napping next to me right now.

  • Once again thank you all for your replies, I just heard back and my levels more than doubled so they were happy with that! So relieved. Didn't get a wink of sleep last night! Yay for healthy pregnancies for all of us!
